I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Yes, the French booksellers association forced the Paris Book Festival to drop Amazon sponsorship due to Amazon "seeking to flood the market with fake AI-generated books, promoted by fake reviews, written by fake readers [which rise] to the top of fake rankings"💥 MORE OF THIS, PLEASE 💥
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
THE KING’S WARDEN is doing insane numbers. It crossed 10 million viewers Friday, but at this rate it’ll become the highest grossing domestic film in Korean box office history (record is ₩139.6B, ₩150B seems assured). 50/50 whether it unseats ROARING CURRENTS’ all-time admissions haul (17.6M).

Someone with a similar name has written several books about horses and I keep getting these increasingly surreal AI scam emails intended for her. Starting to wonder if it's some kind of subliminal messaging. This one goes on forever and makes no sense.
Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

Notice Regarding the Translation and Publication Structure of Seven Seas Entertainment and MEDIA DO:
English: mediado.jp/wp-content/t...
Japanese: mediado.jp/info/15595/
I am afraid that manga as an industry is going to go through another bust. Sales have flatlined in Japan, so the only growth market they see now is in English language markets.
Publishers are all desperate to push sales there, and are most likely going to flood the market beyond capacity.
AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭
Can confirm, takes about this long and the best-paid translators only make about $1,000 per volume.
Editors make less per volume; I’m not sure about Letterers.
It’s not that expensive to get a good localization of a manga volume.
Don’t let them forget that.
Media Do announced today they acquired US Manga Publisher Seven Seas for 12.4 Billion Yen ($80 Million USD)
• As of reporting, Seven Seas has not issued a statement in regards to the acquisition
