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.

Larger media outlets have wavered since the first Trump term, but we've remained steadfast in our categorical rejection of MAGA in all its aspects and our affirmation of liberal democracy and the principles that it rests on.

Anti-vaxxers exposing Hays Code ass diseases to the general public is antisocial behavior that at one point would have required compulsory isolation and social exile. Instead, the Raw Milk Typhoid Mary community is allowed to continue their dunderheaded agenda unabated. Unsettles my spirit.
