“South Africans like Dr. Booley have found a remedy for power cuts that have plagued people in the developing world for years. Thanks to swiftly falling prices of Chinese made solar panels and batteries, they now draw their power from the sun.”

Library, then local store, then online if I need it now. I rarely need it now. Library almost always has it but needs to get it to a local branch. Can’t remember the last time I bought online.
When I buy books online it's always through B&N on IndieBound. Never Amazon. (Often less convenient or more expensive. But not that much, in either realm.)
No replacement for AMZ's total reach. Eg video. But still.

Periodic reminder:
What you see on social media is an algorithm-curated echo chamber. Those who shout loudest typically get amplified the most, regardless of whether they’re right.
The real work takes place offline. If you’re getting stressed out by today, take a break, focus on what you can do.

Scraper accounts seem to be on the rise, so here's a list if you want to block them all.
Feel free to report suspicious accounts to me, but do NOT tag/quote them. If they're alerted to my presence and block me in advance, I can't do anything (at least with bsky interface).

If you're enjoying your time on BlueSky and it's working out for you, please consider hyping it up in front of your mates, but do encourage them to use goodfeeds.co or to dig through the people you follow to help ensure their app doesn't look dead because there's not much education on that.

Three days after it was revealed that this guy's license was wrongly listed as suspended due to a clerical error, none of the publications listed here (NYT, WP, NYP, USA Today, BBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC) have issued corrections or updates.

The viral story about a defendant driving with a suspended license was fake news
Corey Harris' case should never have been a national news story to begin with.
