Historian Tim Snyder compares what Trump is doing in Latin America to Soviet tactics in Eastern Europe after WWII: rig elections, apply threats, install the leadership you want. His description of Trump’s approach: “smash and grab.”

Because Stelco received Federal government grants and loans the answer is simple, seize all Stelco assets in Canada.

The 3rd & final Lady & Lord Riven novella, A Waltz of Sinister Import, will be out everywhere in10 days, so this week's Sunday snippet is from #2, A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence. Catch up before the finale! :) Grab it in ebook or paperback now: books2read.com/honeymoonGrave #romancelandia
The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: 
A scorching kiss against the sensitive nape of her bare neck made her gasp and instinctively arch her back against him, and his voice deepened into a low rumble against her skin. “My dear, you may never care for small talk, but when you talk about your passions, you glow.”
“Now you’re being absurd.” Her words were breathless. The scene in the mirror before her—her mouth opening in a soundless moan, her body arching tautly against what appeared to be nothing but air behind her, even as physical sensation overwhelmed her—was so fantastical that it felt dreamlike, as if she really were being ravished by an invisible spirit...or merely imagining this whole vivid experience. 
But her husband’s hands were solid and real as they slid down her back to curve around her waist, and his breath caressed her skin as he worked his way around the base of her neck. “Just look at yourself now,” he murmured. “See the woman I see.”

Maybe have the ground go shaky under both feet, either front or back? But warhorses trample bodies so something like solid fog appearing at eye level to one side might work well.

Like… The Earth is always listening. With seismometers in the right places, we can track all kinds of daily activities (like how quiet it got during COVID lockdown! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) We have seismic signal of teenagers having sex from a station on Vancouver Island. A setlist is easy

More Anthropic settlement stuff: here's the email Wiley is sending For Dummies authors to explain the percentages it's claiming. Also note that they're saying payment for the author share will go to agencies rather than directly to authors.
Dear Author,

 

A number of For Dummies authors have asked why the claim percentage Wiley submitted for their titles in the Anthropic settlement differs from the settlement's Default Option for trade titles. We want to explain why.

 

Wiley classifies For Dummies works as Education Works, based on their instructive nature and the substantial editorial and production investment Wiley makes in developing each title. The For Dummies trademark, series format, and visual identity are owned and controlled by Wiley. Each title is developed within a Wiley-established voice and structure covering organization, icons, and design, and Wiley edits and produces every title to this pedagogic standard. The terms of Wiley's author contracts for For Dummies works reflect this level of publisher investment and control.

 

Because For Dummies works are Education Works, Wiley's claim reflects the electronic royalty rate set out in your author agreement rather than the Default Option reserved for trade titles. The percentage due to you under that rate is what you should claim. If a work has more than one royalty-bearing author, that percentage divides proportionately based on the author royalty split in the agreement.

 

If sums due under your agreement with Wiley are payable via your literary agency, your agency will receive the settlement payment for your share, and you should receive it from your agency, as with any other sums due under your agreement. If you and your agent are already paid separately, the allocation will reflect that division.

 

If you have questions, or would like to provide documentation you believe supports a different percentage, please reach out to your Wiley editor.

If Wiley and an author are unable to agree on the percentage, the dispute is resolved by a Court-appointed, neutral special master, as described in Question 24 of theAnthropic Publisher FAQ. Claim percentages can be updated by navigating to the following link (https://secure.anthropiccopyrig…

This addiction to story is why I'm spending an embarrassing amount of time on TikTok: it's the stories. Some are Chinese dramas (fascinating feminist gaze), some are ~true stories from corporate US, etc. I read the captions so it's still reading, sort of.

Apple Intelligence Can Use Up to 14GB. Here’s How to Turn It Off
Apple Intelligence is built into the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS, but you don’t have to leave it enabled. For some users, Apple Intelligence may simply feel less essential now. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Meta’s Muse and a growing number of AI agents are all easily accessible through standalone apps and the web, giving users plenty of alternatives without relying on Apple Intelligence. There’s also a more practical reason to switch it off: storage space. According to Apple’s support documentation, Apple Intelligence can require up to 14GB of storage on newer supported iPhone, iPad and Mac models.
