This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

Tell Overdrive to get AI out of Libby company.overdrive.com/contact/supp... #library

Describe the problem in as much detail as you can. What steps did you take leading up to it? *

I'm very upset that Libby is using generative AI — I'm currently part of a class action lawsuit of authors against AI companies and I've been promoting the use of Libby to my readers but I *will not* promote generative AI in any form as it is a pox on the land, the genAI companies stole my books, AI is a massive environmental disaster and there are so many other harms too numerous to go into.

NOT TO MENTION that any mention of AI has a generally toxic impact on purchases and checkouts — people don't like it, they don't want it, but especially READERS who understand this issue better than most. AI turns people off. Keep it away from my books and away from the library.
