AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's more.

We wanted to have a quiet afternoon and so we went to go to Kapej Coffee on the Brown Line. It is one of our favorite places in #Chicago with some of the best #coffee in the city. In fact, the owner was roasting coffee fresh in a little alcove off the counter.
@dohappybelove made a #painting and @seanbala started #reading “The Lost Cause” by @pluralistic - a wonderful Sunday!

Proposed bill in Alabama to allow the arrest of librarians.
No one is perfect—not even librarians. But professional #librarians are terrific. They're dedicated public servants, and they know how to library better than politicians do.
Let's trust librarians.

House advances bill allowing arrest of librarians
The bill would provide an avenue for librarians to be arrested if someone challenges a book as being "harmful to minors."Jacob Holmes (Alabama Political Reporter)
Can I have some fleeting passions with a somewhat changeable base of continuity? Please, and thank you... 😂

"Thirty-one authors and translators have withdrawn their work from consideration for or declined PEN America’s 2024 literary awards over the organisation’s 'failure to protect' Palestinian writers in Gaza.
"Nine out of 10 longlistees for the PEN/Jean Stein book award, worth $75,000, have withdrawn their books. Christina Sharpe, Catherine Lacey and Joseph Earl Thomas are among the withdrawing writers."

Writers withdraw from PEN America literary awards in support of Gaza
Authors and translators say PEN America has ‘had no criticism of American complicity in the bombardment of Gaza’, in stark contrast to other national centres of the organisationElla Creamer (The Guardian)
Started listening to one of my favourite football (soccer) series, always worried about the narration when I start listening to a book, not really an audiobook fan, but I’ve started to listen to books I’ve already read, good when I’m walking or doing something.
I tend to fall sleep within minutes if I’m not active while listening 🤷♀️
Anyways, this series is truly a wonderful read. I highly recommend it.
My birthday is coming in a few weeks and I would like to achieve the following milestone: Selling at least 46 copies of my books.
(For those who wonder, 46 refers to the age I'll then be.)
Will you help me?

If you missed this fine #MURDERBOT short story over at Reactor, it's still available.
It takes place after EXIT STRATEGY, and is from Mensah's POV. Definitely fills in some understanding in the universe.

(Image hidden for drawn eye contact: The cover of The Old Goat and the Alien by Veo Corva, showing a mountain goat with big curving horns and a pinkish-purple flame above its head sitting on a hillside with a brown-skinned human in colorful clothing. They both look relaxed, eyes bright and peaceful, while the violet sky behind them is streaked with silvery falling stars.)
