Hey @theguardian.com running out of subjects? At least @nataliehaynes.bsky.social managed to select a different "first book I remember" even if you used the same headshot.

You're Dutch right? 75% of Dutch Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. All civilians.

Even using Hamas's top estimate, 3% of people in Gaza have been killed in this conflict. That includes combatants.

Your revolting comparison of the Holocaust with the war in Gaza is simple Jew hate.

That's not what I am saying. The OP deliberately concealed the breadth of Einbender's speech and suggested that Abrams support for Palestine was exclusive of support for Israel.

This is propaganda done without permission of the two thoughtful people being used here to make a cheap political point.

You seem keen to put words into my mouth that I have never and would never say. I don't think you need me in this conversation at all.

Good luck talking to yourself.

Daily Mail delivering the lols with important news about “DJ Calvin Klein.”

Hey @novaramedia.com. I just read this article of yours. The headline claims that a Tory councillor has been accused of smearing a teenager as an antisemite. And yet nowhere in your post does anyone accuse a Tory councillor of anything.

Did you make it up?

Neither the US nor Israel are signatories to the ICC. Therefore they are not obliged to recognize their warrants.

I can't believe you would comment here without knowing this basic fact.

I'm so embarrassed for you.

This is the worst thing I have seen on the @nytimes.com for a while. It's like an episode of Portlandia set in a 14 year old's sleepover.

My counterpoint is that this conversation is not infantile ENOUGH.

Happy Bowie-Elvis day to everyone who is celebrating.

Not an earlier book. This book was published after "A Little Life."

My year in books was down by 30 on last year and my lowest number in a decade. Easy to blame all the doomscrolling and too many night visits to the bomb shelter, but I'm just not reading enough.

Wishing us all a safe and meaningful 2025!

Waterstones in the UK has begun its half price hardback sale. Amazon is lagging behind.

Just bought “All Fours,” “Gliff,” and “The Anxious Generation” all at 50% off.

Diving into the hottest debate on the (never-knew-it-was) contentious subject of book consumption.

Live your best life. Stop caring about what others do. Stop caring what others think about what you do.

Very excited to see the 70-strong longlist for the 2025 Tournament of Books, from @tournamentofbooks.bsky.social

It continues to be a reliable discovery tool for books I might otherwise never have encountered.

Well that's profoundly depressing. It will also go mostly unreported on social media.

I use Chat GPT at work to tidy up notes I have taken and rework text I have written to incorporate feedback from others.

Is it weird that I often say, "please" in my prompts?
