He's plugging his books using Amazon links. I responded asking him not to direct traffic there because of Bezos, maybe link to his publisher instead. He responded I was free to buy my books anywhere but most people buy through Amazon "and it's not even close." So I replied back quoting his BlueSky bio that he's "ardently against fascists" (paraphrased) but is fine with sending people to Bezo's union-busting, Trump-loving site to fill his pockets more. Apparently he was not amused. But really, WTF?
