If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I think Mamdani wanted to neutralize his bully, and it worked. It was high risk but high reward—maybe we could all learn a lesson from this.

3. Never pegged Mamdani for a top! But he clearly is. He topped this one.

Mamdani got to register his genuine hatred of Trump at the same time that Trump was fawning all over him
I missed the first time that he actually said "yes." I thought he left it implied, because Trump stepped on the line, but he did actually say it.
Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”
TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”
ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”
