I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of DUNE, right from the storyboards.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

West Coast AOR music -- kind of like YACHT ROCK: A DOCKUMENTARY, only done like JAZZ.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.
By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

I'd never heard of Maigret before the 2025 PBS series. Come to find out there are books and international adaptations with Blackadder being one of the bajillion people who've played him.
Suddenly witness to a man’s dreadful death, Inspector Maigret finds himself faced with a series of sordid events in this haunting tale of guilt and tragedy.
The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien and other Inspector Maigret stories support Come Back Alive.

Wouldn't it be some shit if my parents came to the US from the Philippines under Marcos's Martial Law only for that to be a reason I could end up fleeing the US?
Come to think of it... if I fled to the Philippines, it would be under another Marcos.
Wow, that's depressing.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

If they ever end up arresting anyone, I'll definitely watch the inevitable DATELINE episode!
Did you guys hear about the Georgia man who died in a scuba diving accident after which family looked in the backyard treehouse and found the skeletal remains of his missing adult son? It’s such a weird story and I need there to be any kind of resolution.
