Pete was a cat. Pete's Press is the publisher. It's on the same block as Safeway is.

I was there to see my first contribution to literature in a published book — a short essay on the technical drawbacks of rising GenAI use. The book is Slop. That is to say, it's called that, but is 100% human created, not generated by non-human robots.

I went to a bookstore called Pete's Bookshop for the first time today. A few books caught my attention before I found the one I was looking for. Here was the best cover I saw. It it apparently NOT a horror children's book. #YQR

I find it hard to be lonely when I’m lost in a book. Maybe the loneliness epidemic could be solved by reading more books. Take your friends to the library. Get them a library card. Encourage them to read a book. 📚💙 #Booksky
