This, right here. The publishing industry has become deranged, and nearly every author is anxious about whether they'll ever get another book deal again. Sales are the only metric of success that publishers recognize. Pirating books poses a direct existential threat to authors' careers as authors.
Look, I am very small potatoes as an author. I make too little in royalties to live off them. But I can tell you the reason I got to write my 2nd book was bc the sales of the 1st were very good. That's what else you're eating into by pirating, our ability to keep writing what you claim to love.

wondering why Germans in 1939 didn't say anything about their fascist takeover?
Maybe they were on a platform (say... like Discord maybe?) where they weren't allowed to "talk politics".

A really different take on "How I Could Just Kill a Man" from Cypress Hill on @npr.org 's Tiny Desk Concerts.
The live horns make it feel like something else, like the edges are rounded off a bit. It's still B though, and really cool to hear
