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.

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.

he should try challenging scientific orthodoxy about gravity by demonstrating it is only a theory from the top of the millennium tower, what the fuck is this lede
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

These are good and I’d add Cooking Is Terrible by Mischa Fletcher and Tin Can Cook by Jack Monroe. Monroe is English so there are a few things in some recipes we tend not to have in the US, but the majority are universal, and you’re smart and resourceful and can think of good substitutions
An awesome 🧵, especially w/ current fuckery.
Also recommending 4 cookbooks:
* YOU GOTTA EAT by Margaret Eby
* THE SAD BASTARD COOKBOOK by Zilla Novikov and Rachel A Rosen
* THE POORCRAFT COOKBOOK by Iron Circus Comics
* GOOD AND CHEAP by Leanne Brown
Nab from library or get online PDFs if you can.
