Do you follow baseball? Do you not follow baseball? It does not matter. Please listen to Phillies announcer John Kruk, with the team up by ten runs and not much happening, talking about what he learned at the Franklin Institute. You will not be sorry.
I try really hard not to judge people‘s preferences and abilities. Just because I like reading books does mean everybody has to like reading books. Although that is what I want. But I’m just wondering if you don’t like books enough to have bought any why do you want them in your house?
Digital photography and social media have turned the world into a cornucopia of boundless experiences. Museumgoers increasingly regard the work in art museums as an accoutrement to their existence, their world. All this old stuff lying about is only there to serve their self-absorption. Say cheese!

This would be about 100000 times more useful than finding some clown with a YT channel and force feeding him money till it pours our every orifice and still does bugger all for the party
This writer just punched his career hard in the face, all for an article that he could have written in ten minutes simply by summarizing jacket copy.
(Also, given the "AI"-generated errors in other articles in the insert he produced, he's, shall we saying, overrepresenting how carefully he checks)
This likely AI-hallucinated reading list is part of a ~60-page summer supplement, and in an initial spot-check, I'm having trouble confirming any of the quotes. But it's all such transparent filler that I can't help feeling sympathy for the lone freelancer apparently saddled with producing it.

I said I would paint another one—a pulp scifi cover for Murderbot on Apple TV! Based on the novels by @marthawells.com 🪐
