One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon.

And I think he did great work with media but honestly nothing had me saying "oh wow communicator of a generation."
No. He's likeable, he's decent, his policies are popular, he has a campaign work ethic.
Maybe most importantly: he obviously had competent staff and obviously listened to them.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Just a reminder that even if/when SNAP benefits start flowing again, the crisis for food banks will not be over. They'll still have low inventory and many SNAP recipients will also be stocking up on items. And then you add on the typical holiday rush. The need will continue to be great.

I do a lot of online shopping at my day job and pretty much everything I've bought for the last few months has all been delayed in shipping. Keep it in mind when you're Christmas shopping. Leave loads of time or buy locally in person.

question for fellow indie authors: do you advertise on any blogs/podcasts/whatever indie media?
I'm interested in doing more advertising, but I hate running FB and Amazon ads, and I figure if I support somebody's review site, it's a good thing to do even if it doesn't sell many books for me

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
