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.

The CDC has not addressed this and is largely pretending it isn’t happening. Meanwhile they’re taking steps to actively reduce vaccination rates.
Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

‘This piggy won’t be quiet’: The women who spent two nights on a bus to protest the president
Days after President Trump called a reporter “piggy,” dozens of fellow women boarded a bus in Ohio for a 36-hour “turn and burn” trip to Washington to fight for regime change.

NEW: We filed an FEC complaint alleging Trump’s 2024 Madison Square Garden rally was illegally funded primarily by super PACs, including one almost entirely funded by Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. This violates federal campaign finance law.

These should be the Dems' talking points going into the mid terms.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%
