Here’s the thing. If you see foreign populations and their attendant culture, music, food, politics, issues, celebrations as a PROBLEM and not a tremendous ASSET in your life, you’re not just bigoted but you’re also deliberately choosing a more boring life.

Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

@paulisci.bsky.social Have you ever done A Brief History of Technology Is Taking Our Jobs? It feels like something I’ve seen but I can’t find it.

I just have to say that this was the very first episode of @extrahotgreat.com I ever listened to (although I had been listening to Again With This for awhile and was longtime TWoP reader).
Whenever this signal goes up, I must by law mention I once went on Extra Hot great podcast & not only participated in a Star Trek fantasy draft (life goal accomplished), also more importantly—I made the case for DS9’s Duet deserving a place in the TV canon (my finest hour) extrahotgreat.com/ehg-124/

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists
The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires.
Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance Minds International. Continue reading...

This is either incredibly depressing or incredibly hopeful. Or both.
I think it is notable that Trump's approval rating is basically the same as Erdogan's in Turkey, a country that experienced like 500% inflation over the last 4 years. Also lower than the human version of Wario, Viktor Orbán's www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is-r...
Trump is racing against time
The president's approval rating is closer to Nicolás Maduro's than Vladimir Putin’s

Free Kimmel. Impeach Carr. Impeach Trump
Kimmel's show was pulled from the air after his comment about Charlie Kirk's assassin prompted the FCC to threaten ABC's broadcast license.

Is there a third candidate who *does* clear out vampire dens but also *forbids* children from playing in the abandoned copper mine? Because that seems ideal.

Whether it's Trump calling Jews "Shylocks" or Democrats protesting the razing of Gaza, there's plenty of antisemitism on both sides.
