The motto of the modern tech industry is "You can just do things to people"
"I can't believe they let them make this movie" - in reference to some movie from 30+ years ago.

PRESALE TIME!!
The best time to order small press books is during presale, when there are author incentives and awards buzz begins.

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.
the only literary race I’m running is trying to get all these damn books outta my head before the icy hand of Death takes me to that big kayaking spot in the sky
Big game AI ads encouraging you to build like the geniuses that came before you by using their technology. Proceeds to show a montage of humans doing smart and creative things without once touching said tech.
