A tariff on US-imported books is a tariff on literacy. Books are not a luxury item that we can simply do without. If this tariff gets approved, indie bookstores will be forced out of business. Libraries will be hit too; the library books you want for free come from the US too.

Nobody ever pronounced a name they encountered in a book wrong. They just might have pronounced it differently to other people.

Which reminds me of a Bruce Sterling passage I read a long, long time ago which has stayed with me. "Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird, and don’t do it halfway. Put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it."
