The most annoying thing I’ve found about coming out of a 4-year content creator retirement is that most of my favorite tools VANISHED into the ether. If you had to start from the ground up as a video creator or podcaster, what would you use?

So in the span of one day, I see that: A. Rare books are being scanned and shredded to feed generative AI data models thanks to a legal loophole. B. 53% of books published on Amazon were AI-generated. C. The number of AI-generated books on Amazon grew 23% since 2023. And yet I continue to write.

“[R]acism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.” —Toni Morrison

One of the best parts of writing a book is getting to discuss it in public conversations & share ideas with the audience. Hope you’ll read Giving Up Is No Excuse:A Manual For Keeping A Democracy. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635...

“That republic may be called fortunate if it produces a man so prudent that he gives it laws organized in such a fashion that it can live safely under them without needing to reform them.” —Niccolo Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy, Book 1, Ch. 2

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your backpack/purse at any given moment: 1. A book (often 2+, even if I don't have time to read while I'm out) 2. iPad 3. Mechanical pencils 4. Highlighters 5. Sticky note tabs
