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.

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly.
Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

There’s no point rushing to judgment about the arson attack until Miriam O’Callaghan asks Simon Harris if the arson attack, while not condoned, might be justified by legitimate concerns.

It annoys me no end that bluffers and grifters like Yates get fat contracts from Irish broadcasters and media outlets, but genuinely talented, hard-working, ethically-honest journalists don't get as much as a look-in.
I bet Matt is an puc ar buile.
It's hilarious that FF thought Ivan was the solution to Jim's debating, after Ivan shouting Qs at leaders during GE19 debate.
No wonder Jim went on the attack in the debates (to no avail).

A total of 213,738 people spoiled their vote in the recent Presidential Election, and questions remain as to why so many people chose to do so, writes Juliette Gash.
