People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

Putin emboldened and, it seems, soon to be rewarded for his aggression against Ukraine thanks to Trump. Still not yet a year in office, so there’s plenty more global damage he could do. 🤬

Self-defence!? China is the one threatening Taiwan with military intervention. That is not self defence! Taiwan has the right to its own self defence.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.

This is actually frickin' insane, even by Trump's standards!
The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

Absolutely! There are also many authors (like moi) that write books about current new and world events - Messages of "war is hell," "freedom isn't free," "evil should not prevail."
Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚

On this and every Veterans Day, we honor those who served and the sacrifices they made to defend our country.
We can never fully repay our veterans, but we can honor their service by ensuring they have access to the care and services they deserve. 🇺🇸

Let this little detail remain. The only example Chuck can think of is a fictional one! He's either gone quite mad, or he's no better than his opponents, making stuff up!
People are just now finding out that Chuck Schumer, whose closest advisor on major issues is an imaginary family he made up in his childhood (yes, really), might not be the best choice to lead in times like these
From the johnoliver community on Reddit: John Oliver breaks down how Chuck Schumer has based his entire political strategy on an entirely fictional Long Island couple named Joe and Eileen Bailey

Chuck Schumer is not the bad guy. Blame everyone who ignored the warnings and refused to vote for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.

I sadly have been too occupied to take part in #extralife Game Day, but I can tell you, the memories made will always stay with me.
Here's last year's highlights, playing #warthunder and visiting #bowen, where I'd usually be when it happens. Thank you!

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.
The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.
