This article is sympathetic towards ICE but still a good read because it's clear that Minneapolis and Saint Paul are doing AMAZING work (with a little assistance from our weather).

the "books spoil, like milk" model has always been exhausting but we're like 20 years into the world of ebooks now, at some point you'd think we would rethink the model
Someday I will understand the logic behind "a book has made all the money it will ever make in the first week and after that we will ignore it as a weird little corpse till the end of our rights" but right now it just seems incredibly antithetical to what books are.
NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

Watching people humanize ChatGPT while dehumanizing literal small human children is one of the most fucked things about this era.
I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE.
Writing requires you to write. To feel. To think. To impart that. That is step one to Being a Writer.

A question that really needs to be asked (and isn't in this case) is "Why did we do it that way?"
Sometimes the answer is "because that's how we always did it" in which case trying something new is fine.
In this case it's because Calibri is easier for some people to read.

Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...
