Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites.

This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences.

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

This is not how books work. It's not a quantity game. Reading is an intensely focused act. Readers notice everything. You should see the letters we get. You can't chase trends, you have to set them, and that requires intuition, and the ability to spell Strawberry.
