Boris talked to his buddy #Epstein about the anti-putin movement in 2012. And wanted to get rid of #Putin.

Here's Chomsky letter to Epstein saying that #Epstein is being treated badly by the press.

I mentioned this to the @nohateinwastate.bsky.social people and they got very hateful to me and tried to discredit and disprove it. They also downplayed my personal SA and SH. The no hate crowd has so much hate I showed them the second post and they scoffed at it as well.

Is this why you all worship celebrities now? Epstein and friends knew this over a decade ago. You all got pacified. #Macklemore #EdSheeran #DollyParton

I kind of feel like this #Clancy trial is taking women's lib backwards. I can't tell you how many times they have called me crazy, emotional, unhinged. I have fought for decades for people not to see me as emotional. And now we are excusing women for murdering her kids because she's emotional.

Isn't it funny that this lady blocked me because I was talking about my Trauma regarding my abusive mother? But she proved my case in the fact that women are just as abusive, misogynistic, and evil as men. She is just a narcissist with a victim complex. I hope she gets the help she needs.

I am following the #LindsayClancy trial because some of you don't understand what it's like growing up with an abusive mother. Many of these mothers who do horrible things like so many have personality disorders. Why are women and mothers elevated to Saint like status because they had a child? And..

Can you please read another book? Stop being in a cult about a sub par book series written by a sub par author. I get it you peeked in High School.

One of America's deepest crises is historical illiteracy. Americans are taught that capitalism is the end of history and elections are the highest form of democracy. They aren't. Democracy remains radically incomplete until the people democratize economic power itself. #ClassConsciousness

As a woman I am currently reading Crime and Punishment and it's a great book. I like books like that. Books with substance. Books like C&P last the test of time for a reason. It has an element that makes us feel human. These newer books make us feel like we are walking into a store. #booksky

The next #bannedbook I am going to talk about is also about #iran. Persepolis Isn't it interesting it became hugely popular after 9/11? The book has been used by the West to hate on Iran over the Hijab. Satrapi is no different than Ayn Rand... Privileged class who is upset their privilege ...

Talking about another #bannedbook that people keep bringing up. 1984. First off he was a cop in Burma (Mynamar) in the 1920s. He openly talks about it in Burmese Days. Second, does no one remember that list he gave to MI6 of alleged communist? Last I checked Orwell is the big brother. #booksky

When I go to Barnes and Noble I have fun looking for certain books. I found Henry Miller underneath a #booktok table. He's not a #bannedbook anymore but he is a forgotten one. #booksky

Parents are fed up with friends and relatives giving their kids “personalized” AI-generated storybooks with characters resembling their kids. Apart from data privacy concerns, literacy experts say these garbled and convoluted narratives could be an impediment to learning how to read.

I say this as a former public school teacher and current educator: If I had children, I would legitimately plan to home school them at this point. Nothing about the way this country treats children is acceptable anymore.

Since people are talking about #AHandmaidsTale I would like to interject. 1) Atwood was inspired to write the book based on what she heard about #Iran after the 1979 revolution. 2) Shes a rich white Canadian. Instead of focusing on Iran why doesn't she talk about what her country does to ...

ChatGPT not letting you emulate specific authors anymore
Prompting
Join
I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.
& Locked post. New comments cannot be posted.

Why do #booktok and #booksky people get mad when you tell them that a lot of those books they are reading is just porn. Porn with a plot. They have movies like that as well. Debbie Does Dallas, Pirates (2005), and so many others.

A US official told The Intercept that recent attacks had wounded “far more” personnel than are reflected in the Pentagon’s current casualty count. They did not provide numbers but said “dozens” had received medical attention.

I could easily get carried away with this so I’ll just say that Apocalypse Now is a miraculously good adaptation of Heart of Darkness.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Got a free sample of Fourth Wing. Its literally a board/horny military wife who spent too much time on Tumblr/WattPad while her husband was deployed killing people in the middle east. It's garbage. #booksky #booktok
