The only time you should ever open your mouth around a cop:
- Am I being detained or am I free to go?
- I do not consent to any search.
- I invoke the fifth. I want to speak to a lawyer.

Amazon has done a astonishingly good job of convincing people they've cornered the book market. And in some ways they have but perfection is the enemy progress, cutting out even a little ‘zon from your life is good!

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today:
1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok.
2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump.
3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.

I've read my fair share of stabby horney FMCs but I realized they've been written by women. I can't put my finger on specifics but I don't think it works written by a man… audiobook narrator saved it 10/10 performance. Will read book 2.
