Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

Good Christ. Trump seemed to think the chancellor of Germany considered the end of WWII a sad day somehow. Merz had to explain, no, America liberated us from the Nazis, dipshit. That was a good thing, you absolute fucking moron. I paraphrase only slightly.
