The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!

ICE detains teenage student at Boston Airport—flying home to surprise family for Thanksgiving.
Despite judge's order expressly blocking deportation—agents took her to Honduras just hours later.

When weaponized despair is your business model, your only options are:
1. Deny incoming data.
2. Supress incoming data.
3. Repent and be made whole
Option 3 might mean losing access to your broligarch peer group.

"Mrs Agnew's first language is BSL.
Upon arrival at hospital, she typed her request for an interpreter on her phone.
But the receptionist asked, 'What is a BSL interpreter?', Mrs Agnew said."
I can understand clarifying BSL, but what access is being provided when unfamiliar with the options?
