Pulp paperback sci fi with attendant fan magazines was a much better format than literary novels and the problem w current mass market romance/mystery paperbacks is B+N and distributors pushing a handful of authors and no fan discourse magazines to make authors sharpen their blades

Trump and Hegseth announce a fourth strike on boats in the Caribbean. Claim 6 were killed. If the White House's figures are accurate, that brings the total killed to 27. With no evidence presented by the US proving they're drug traffickers. x.com/PeteHegseth/...

look. we fucked up, okay?

crossposting from our facebook account where most people were upset, but it's good to own up to your mistakes everywhere. that's our motto.

PLEASE READ: Yesterday someone who no longer works for this company shared a meme on this page with the caption "Fuck Christopher Columbus." Many, many people who have never followed our account before nor shopped at our store were offended by this post. If fact, you could say they were quite triggered. We *did* approve this post, but only because we were told it was directed at Chris Columbus, the director of MRS. DOUBTFIRE (1993). If you were personally hurt by our ex-employee's poor judgment, please forgive us, and let us know how we can make it up to you.

This is heartbreaking. I remember being stoned in my bedroom in high school late at night when the video for "Brown Sugar" came on MTV and blew my little mind.

Fuck the medical examiner. This is naked corruption and conspiracy to cover up a murder by a politically connected rich man. Outrageous. I can't imagine that Shapiro isn't manipulating events behind the scenes. This is a direct threat to his political future and he knows it.

California Governor Gavin Newsom "vetoed a bill on Saturday that would have provided more transparency around the water usage of data centers, which regularly require millions of gallons of fresh water to cool their computers."

Gavin Newsom blocks effort to make CA data centers disclose water use. Why?

Data-center water usage can vary from 110 million gallons to 1.8 billion gallons per year.
