That quantity vs quality argument when it comes to reading is bullshit.
Read what you enjoy... as much of it as you can...
Comics. Novels. Scripts. User Manuals. Blogs. Articles. Poetry. Song Lyrics.

Just read.
AND read at the pace you are comfortable with.

I've said it before, but once more: I don't use AI in any of my writing or publishing. I don't use AI in my covers. I don't use AI in my internet browsing, or any other place. I hate AI. I will always hate AI. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

There are 23 crows in my front yard today. Is this some kind of omen, or just a friendly murder?

government is not a business and I will die on this hill. it should not make a profit, it should provide a service. the point of taxes is to pay for that service
FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?
REP. BUDDY CARTER: You explain it by explaining it's not working. When the govt has to subsidize a program, that means it's not working

I have no personal story to tell about Rob Reiner, but when he turned a book I liked into a movie I loved, I became his forever fan. Princess Bride gave me fantasy, humor, and romance when I most needed all three. Rest in peace, Rob an Michele. You made the world a better place.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

Full Sisko to anybody who made it to the end of the year without grifting, backstabbing, clumsily lying or otherwise being the ass-end of a pure fool. Ben Sisko knows you wanted to lay hands but found other ways. Praise to ya.

UBI is restitution for 50 years of stagnant wages, a frozen minimum wage, unfair tax policy favoring the rich, and a Supreme Court built on stolen seats and corruption. It’s time the people who created the wealth actually benefit from it.

Got a text that appeared to be a notice from my bank about a withdrawal. I called my bank. They never sent a text, and no withdrawal was made.
An hour later, I get a call from "my bank" about the withdrawal. When I told him he was a scammer, he hung up. Be careful out there, people.

I think I'm finally on the upswing from this stupid cold. Which is good, because copy edits just landed, and I have work to do.

There are far too many people who are all in on Newsom because of his social media presence…which is the work of a Latina woman.
Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”
