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.

This is actually pretty good beer, from Burning Bush Brewery, at Irving Park & Rockwell.
Chicago-brewed "Da Pope" beer is now in Pope Leo’s fridge, thanks to Gov. Pritzker. blockclubchi.co/4r7wDfN

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
Not really my heart
Just somebody's heart
This year
If the cops should appear
Please tell them that you don't know me

starkid has been secretly making some of the most vital musicals of the past decade and a half, like Twisted is both an incredibly funny parody of both Wicked and Aladdin and also a very nerdy and very angry takedown of Bob Iger-era Disney
So now everyone is catching the themes of Wicked and are interested in musicals documenting the rise of fascism in America

LET'S ALL WEAR ONSIES TO THE AIRPORT
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

More generally, wherever you are in the world: if you have kids’ toys, books, clothes or anything else in just-about-giftable condition that you were thinking of decluttering some time soon, please do it now, this week ideally, and get them to your local charity shop.
Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:
Donate - Twice Upon a Time

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

Happy #DoctorWhoDay! Every year I’m happy to celebrate this beautiful show that’s changed my life in profound ways but this year is extra special since it’s the first year I can count myself among the people who have had a hand in making a small part of it. Dare I say it’s… fantastic!

When I talk to students about public speaking or teaching, I always bring this up: Just tell people when you don't know something! It's remarkably powerful b/c it signals to your audience that you know the boundaries of your expertise and they can trust what you DO talk about.
completely outside of politics, this is so charming

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.
