Friday Folio: July 7, 2023

Great piece in High Country News: “Let’s talk about Indian romance novels.”
Two authors have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for training ChatGPT with their work. Good!
NASCAR shut down Chicago for a race which was…bizarre. It also hurt local businesses, including a bookstore. Their customers came to the rescue.
Are you looking to buy library bookshelves? Then this is for you! My mom grabbed a card catalog cabinet from my grade school when it closed. She made a small donation to the church for it. She could sell it for…a lot right now.
The Washington Post made predictions about Obama’s summer book list.
And with that…I’m out! Time to drive across the desert! There most likely won’t be a Friday Folio next week as I will be busy with a certain giant mouse (or duck – he’s my fav).
