I just saw that John Grisham has a new novel out. He's interesting to me because he's constantly attacked for being a a popular hack, etc. Me, I'm for any writer who does well and isn't a dick. Grisham donates millions to charity and works with the Innocence Project. Not bad for a "hack."

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Meta pirated two of my books to develop its AI program, both without my consent. I sent a letter demanding AI companies remove my works from their training data. Use the Authors Guild's letter template to send your own:

An article from The Atlantic about the piracy of written works to teach AI learning machines at the expense of the authors.
Fellow authors! BE VIGILANT of this. Companies could be using YOUR work to profit on teaching their AI. I’m a little known Self-Published writer & was surprised my 3 books are being used. Thx to @alchemicaluproar.bsky.social for the heads up! Spread the word! See The Atlantic article for details.
Hey so not only did they pirate ALL of my books, they even used a bunch of my short stories and novellas from before I was professionally published. Most of these are not online, and even I don't have copies of a couple of them.
What the actual....??
