If you're not sure what's going on in Australia for #ausvotes, the country basically said no to Trumpism and all the nonsense awfulness associated with it. Here's hoping the wins from the Canadian and Australian elections send a message to the rest of the world.

That’s exactly what I love about indie projects, too! That punk ethos is in every indie creative spark and artistic creation. As a pop punk/punk rock kid, that DIY mentality, work ethic, and refusal to wait for permission was instrumental during my formative years.

There was a magic in how Florence broke down his vision into square feet and inches of wood, and tiles, of bricks and plaster, and then cast it into a balance of beauty and economy. She scrawled sums, and formulas stretched over the page, and she tallied them and left little notes in the margins.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Alex Hirsch: Don’t worry Matt, surely an ethical company like OpenAI wouldn’t steal Ghiblis art without its consent, mention Ghibli by name to promote its Ghibli Ripoff Machine, rake in profits & not pay Ghibli a dime. Surely they wouldn’t do that!

Coincidentally, today I received two publishing contracts (small, but very cool). Both included anti-AI clauses that I had insisted upon. These (see below) are suggested by the Australian Society of Authors, but applicable anywhere. Use them. Protect your rights as a creator. @asauthors.bsky.social
