Just found out Anthropic used one of my books to train its LLM. If you’re a published author, make sure to go find out if you’re on that list!

Political violence is not the answer. Violence always and only begets more violence. We must stop the cycle.

The craziest thing about the Cracker Barrel logo is I’m pretty sure it’s not in the Epstein Files.

Don’t get distracted.

Every child I’ve ever met is strong-willed. Some are just loud. And those are the ones who got targeted by parents and educators following James Dobson’s abusive advice.
