Eh, no it doesn't. In this case axing a service so that a private service can run its timetable. Yea, that's right some of the profits went to you, but that's not the case with Lumo trains.

One of the best things about 28 Years Later is Kelson. The typical trope would have the educated expert driven demented by his experience. Instead he's deeply humane. Yes he's strange but he's not demented. I loved that.
had an entire movie theater to myself tonight and took exactly one photo during the trailers of my beautiful baby boy Dr. Kelson's breathtaking & breathtakingly giant face

A great thread - well worth your time.
This is also why, increasingly, the published authors pool is reducing to a single monied & connected class.
This is also why, increasingly, the published authors pool is reducing to a single monied & connected class.
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.
