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.

You forgot rightwingers have NO MEMORIES. Things like critical race theory go back to the 80s. Being grotesquely racist could cause career problems in the 70s. People were upset about Justice Black’s membership in the KKK in the 30s. Women always WORKED. In factories even! Etc.

i hate that i think this is a great idea. people are so bogged down with admin, work is exhausting, everyone is lonely and having a hard time making or spending time with friends. friendships deserve our time and effort but good friends can also make drudgery fun

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

I think what happened is that Bari knew she needed to name a famous Democrat to pair with Loesch so as to not sound partisan, but one who shares most of her opinions, and Dershowitz is the name that popped into her head as representing that kind of guy.

If you feel yourself getting this horny for RFK Jr.’s Oogie Boogie-looking ass you must cease communications with him immediately. Write nothing down. Get checked for worms asap. The disease is already inside you.

Writing great books is one of the coolest things a human being can possibly do, but it’s important to recognize that the vast majority of authors throughout history earned roughly the equivalent of Uber driver wages to create the works we study today.

It is darkly funny, because Enron was a giant criminal enterprise of insane stupid SPV debt-sorcery. I doubt NVIDIA is doing that! I think it's more likely they shipped a bunch of GPUs without being paid/on fungible terms. I hope it's nothing weirder than that. Right? Surely not.
