I hate this culture of knee-jerk comparative reactions to media based on whether or not the viewer’s expectations or taste are met. You’re not really saying anything about the media.

MAGA math.
A tweet from “Sibylle @AHaschi” reads: “So let me get this straight… The 30-year-old ‘Young Republicans’ being openly racist on group chats are kids, but the 13-year-olds in those files were suddenly ‘young women’?”

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

The FDA is said to be preparing to end most of its routine safety inspections, so…
A post from @transunionism on X reads: "Bring it back." Below the text, there is an image of the cover of the book "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. The cover is green with a black-and-white illustration of industrial factories with smokestacks emitting smoke. The title "THE JUNGLE" is printed in large white letters at the bottom.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.
X post by Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW ), featuring a verification badge. The post reads, "The USA is weird now. If you're a person under 30, you probably think it's normal but that's because you don't know. Trust me. It's weird."

I think we’re already there.
X post conversation. The top post is from NewsWire (@NewsWire_US ), featuring a logo with the text "NEWSWIRE" and a verification badge. The text reads, "Trump says he will declare violence against Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism." Below this, there is a reply post from Ravi Mangla (@ravi_mangla ), showing a profile picture of a person wearing a cap and speaking into a microphone. The reply text reads, "We're close to Cybertrucks having more rights than women." The posts reflect a critical and satirical tone regarding a statement attributed to Trump and its implications.

A book is not “bad” if it does something different than your expectations for it.

A book isn’t lacking if it’s made for an audience that doesn’t include you.
