I'm calling this now: Heated Rivalry is already so popular that it will prompt a featured panel at San Diego Comic Con, AWP, and a North American tour of romance bookstores for the premiere of season 2

Not this year though. When Eurovision gets its act together.
Canada should compete in Eurovision and Carly Rae Jepsen should be our representative.

congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was federally indicted after an anti-ICE protest, is taking a unique approach to fundraising for both her campaign and legal battle: twitch streaming. so far, it's working
![Buerk said that Abughazaleh’s donors were the kinds of people who’d kick in hundreds of dollars, not thousands, and as a result, call time was not exactly pulling in money hand over fist.
“In the best of times, we would get $600 an hour [from call time],” she said. “The stream has obviously crushed that. Today we raised $12,000."
The FNAF stream lasted two hours and, thanks to a simple offer of a sticker featuring Abughazaleh’s cat for anyone who donated $10 or more, performed as well as 20 hours of call time. Even during lower-yield streams – the floor, so far, has proven to be $2,000 during a single broadcast – that’s still far preferable a fraction of the money for double, triple, or quadruple the work.
"Kat is busy at events,” said Buerk. “Kat is dealing with a lot of really insane, horrible things. She doesn't have time to be calling people and trying to convince them to donate for 40 hours a week."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiev5vfq6o36yivaj74yzc63ehlec7zee7jznl2x6sim463fxfg46y@jpeg)

I think Steven Guilbeault quit cabinet because he watched Heated Rivalry and realize that his job as Minister of Culture was complete.

Hello, I've read an unreasonable number of books this year & this might be it, this might be my very favourite of the entire year. I want everyone I know to read it. It absolutely rules & I will be evangelizing it far & wide.
hell of a time to be promoting a book about being trans, the damage done to the body/spirit in the decades spent fighting it, and how you can’t fight city hall (Big Transgender) but here we are. utpress.utexas.edu/978147733148...

What Makes Goethe So Special?
The German poet’s dauntingly eclectic accomplishments were founded on a tireless interrogation of how a life should be lived.

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

saw someone reading RF Kuang's THE BURNING GOD on the subway last week which caused me to pick up the first book in the trilogy, which I am enjoying a great deal! highly recommend! lean into serendipity!
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
