But WHY was this painting chosen to sell beer? Still baffling, but "...campaigns combined with manufacturing [was becoming] consumer driven, big business. ...Libby Custer’s campaign to revitalize her husband’s reputation...seemed like a perfect pairing with Budweiser."

More shit news from the writing front, however: don't you just want to hug Author's Guild? 🥰
If you're a writer, consider joining. I believe it's only $135 a year and you get tons of services, including free legal advice.

A fantastic article by Fiona M. Jones. It's a lot to think over and provides a lot of insight. And it provides a rarity: a refreshingly thoughtful comments section that adds a great deal to the conversation surrounding AI.

And I thought audiences today were harsh.

"I hear something strange behind us. Like the low hum of a hovering bee. Tiny gears always in flux. Small modulations.
...But nothing. Windblown chromium houses and synthetic greenery. For a second, it felt like the sound was coming from inside."

I'm only about 50 pages in but this book is SUCH FUN. Cats do play a prominent role as the cover suggests! Can't wait to get back to it as soon as a bout of stupid adulting is over.
Bonus points if Desmondo Jose Ruiz is the reference I think it is. ;)

"In case the incident becomes known, no one will want to climb onto the rooftop. Neither would I want to go up there, even if I was one of the selected ones."
THE HIDDEN FACE by M. I. Verras. Continuous metaphysical mystery. A great page-turner (Amazon, Ebay, B&N):

Never heard of those, thanks! As for social media, it's become such a depressing place. I don't know how the author community is supposed to function now, especially to get their work read, unless you're a novelist. Even then it's like pulling teeth.

In Sundown, I write about a 7-Eleven playing classical music to the street, which is real. Come within a block, and you can hear Beethoven, Liszt, etc.
Today I learned there's at least one Walgreens that does this too, in South Shore. Wasn't expecting this though

specifically the relationship between title characters. Brilliantly, she avoided an unsatisfyingly pat ending or a disappointing one; instead went in an unexpected direction that worked on two levels. (No spoilers!) I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.
