I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Driving in Santa Monica early this morning, I thought I saw a lost dog crossing the road ahead. It was a coyote. He clocked me with his glassy eyes and said “You are the one who is lost.”

Something about the way LLMs build in the idea that to find something out, you shouldn't read an already existing text that other people have also read (ew!); you should get fresh text generated just for you. Each time, new disposable text.

I’m deeply saddened that so many writers now seem to regard the meat of writing as extraneous, as pointless as assembly line work, to see themselves as above it, destined to do only the high level stuff. The writing is the writing! It’s how you get there!

This is incredibly disappointing. The so-called “mechanics” - like research and structure and brainstorming - are literally how writers craft, how they find the way into the work and make it weird, make it theirs. Without that crucial stuff, you’re trying to find emotional truth where there is none
