Sorry guys, I win for best AI slop spam

An AI slop spam email that says: "Hi Eden,
I hope you’re having a great week! My name is Steph Hockersmith, creator of @pieladybooks. I bridge literature and culinary art by transforming bestselling books into intricate, 100% edible, gluten-free pie art.
I’ve been following REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE and would love to design a bespoke pie art piece inspired by your book, sharing the creation process with my audience of over 106k+ highly engaged readers across Instagram, TikTok, and Threads.
When I feature a book, it's a full visual event. My work has been featured on Good Morning America and The TODAY Show, helping convert scroll-stopping art into real reader engagement and book sales.
I’d love to collaborate on a viral moment to celebrate REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE. Are you open to chatting about potential synergy or sharing a digital PDF copy for inspiration?

I never took a class with Annie Dillard at Wesleyan (I was a science guy at that time), but she did once teach me how to Charleston at a party. For the Time Being is one of my favorite books, and, I'm now realizing, a huge influence on my work. Another treasure lost to 2026.

"The fantasy of insurance is that we can give a bunch of capitalists a pot of money so big they’ll let it sit for us, rather than using it to make themselves richer and more powerful at our expense." Required reading: thebaffler.com/salvos/i-mig...

Capitalism transforms the quest to control risk into the most reckless gambling—just look to the insurance industry.

A small update: I've confirmed CVS and Walgreens expect to have vaccines in stock within a few days. I have NOT yet confirmed the state-by-state breakdown of requirements (e.g., if there are states where Rx will be required or there will be other limitations).

I was going to add The Waves to the Wordy Winter list, but someone beat me to it. I did add The Recognitions and The Man Without Qualities. I haven't signed up for anything yet because I'm still deliberating. I'll probably do The Waves, The Recognitions, or Gravity's Rainbow, though.

Love this idea. I recently bought a print version of Middlemarch for a re-read sometime in the next year. But it’d be a fourth read through for me so more in the spirit of the concept, I should tackle some Pynchon (I’ve only read Lot 49) or start Crowley’s Aegypt tetralogy.

A graphic telling you there is currently a $1.99 sale on the ebook of the novel Remember You Will Die, from today until question mark. There is also an image of the cover for Remember You Will Die, a book that I hear is just terrific.

Healthcare has to be one of the 2 most important planks to run on in 2028. It has to be Improved Medicare For All or bust. Single payer that includes vision, dental, and mental health for ALL. Go to war with the insurance companies. Tie healthcare to everything because it is tied to everything.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his arms

Article screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

I understand those suggesting small press or self-pub as a solution, but they only solve getting the book out there—they almost never solve enough sales to (partly) live off of & you also won’t get the attention you get w/a traditional publisher; even critical darlings need a bit of a boost

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.
