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.

🚨BREAKING:

In a devastating blow to Donald Trump, a federal judge threw out the Justice Department’s case against former FBI Director James Comey, ruling that the appointment of Trump’s hand-picked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was invalid.

Q - Why, given all the terrible things happening in the world, do people care about this?

A - Micro-analysis: They see it as an example of government overreach and bureaucratic cruelty towards an independent farm. Macro-analysis: The world is getting dumber every day.

No one, anywhere, should have to live like this. Aid must be allowed into Gaza without delay – everything Palestinians need to survive this winter, and everything needed to begin rebuilding the lives that have been shattered. (3/3)

To celebrate Jewish book month, and its incredible 100th anniversary, I’m sharing a small fraction of my Jewish book collection 🩷🩷📚 There are so many incredible Jewish writers whose work has inspired me so much.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Let him have time to see his friends his foes,
And merry fools to mock at him resort;
Let him have time to mark how slow time goes
In time of sorrow, and how swift and short
His time of folly and his time of ;
And ever let his crime
Have time to wail th’ abusing of his time.

Of course LLMs will get larger token-handling capacities and better code to alleviate context rot.

BUT their access to information/truth will DECREASE over time -- as big lawsuits (current and future) succeed, they will be cut off more and more, and creatively write around their lack of key facts
