Go buy books from Bookshop today and tomorrow! They're offering free shipping on physical media and big discounts on ebooks (I snagged The Bright Ages by @lollardfish.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com this morning for just $2).

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
