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.

"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow."

It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

To know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again - as if it might turn out this time. I learned that from a friend of mine, Charlie Brown.
Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for”, Charlie Brown. I agree with the second part.
They don't make Sunday, Charlie Brown. Because of God.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?

Found a hack to turn off AI on your phone. You go to settings, advanced settings, then temporal rift settings and click “throw device into the sea.” You will be teleported to a windy cliff in Norway where a mischievous voice will whisper “do it, do it” until you hurl your phone into the raging waves

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Absolutely in awe. Two separate musical moments that made me gasp and have to rewind to experience them again.

(Also, can somebody tell me what that piano piece used for the conclusion was? Because damn, that was beautiful)

i call this view 'reactionary centrism' - the problem with it is that modern fascism *cannot* be appeased; they don't want a few compromises in women's sports, they want a total social transformation and the end of liberal democracy
