I’ve just finished Good Boy by Neil McRobert. What a wonderful book!
I hope everyone gets to have a Riot in their life.
Our family good boy, Renfield, could never fight a monster, but he’d cuddle with you after you scared it away.

Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.
Anyways, here it is.

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Deep into mid-summer now, I decided that I needed some holiday flavor in my life. I decided to try Tasting History’s Mai Tai recipe, based on the original Trader Vic’s version of the drink.
Very good, and I absolutely can recommend it!

Recommendations please!
We picked up the book, The Life of Chuck, for my daughter (12) on Independent Bookstore Day. She loves the book and the movie.
I’ve been trying to think of other stories with similar themes that she might like. Any suggestions?

Trump has launched three more boat strikes this week, bringing the total death toll to 177.
Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it.
This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Trump may chicken out from following through on his most extreme threats, but his insistence on pushing self-imposed crises to the brink not only makes us less safe, but alienates us from the world. And thanks to Trump, we're probably past the point of no return.
Trump Chickened Out On Greenland, But The Threat He Poses Keeps Rising
The costs this time may prove far greater than a volatile stock market and higher consumer prices

When republican legislators in Utah ordered a comprehensive review of gender-affirming care for trans kids, they got back a 1000-word tome that concluded: yes, gender-affirming care is good and safe. Then? They banned care anyway.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
