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.

WOULD JAMES CARVILLE AND GAVIN NEWSOM LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND EAT SHIT
From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything.
Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

You guys you guys they found "I am trans" written on the bullets and "I am Antifa" was also written on the bullets and also "Nothing can stop us radical leftists but a huge Palantir surveillance network" and also "Killer police robots and murder drones would thwart our plans."

They want to automate teaching for the same reason they want to send college kids to Black districts for a couple years and not have time to become part of the community: to undermine a stronghold of Black unionism
I think we’re on the cusp of mass attempts to automate teaching, and I also think it is going to be a massive wasteful failure in ways that will make the “learning loss” of the pandemic look like a speed bump next to a mountain.

Very funny day to post this.
“In today’s climate, a military parade could offer an opportunity to counter misperceptions about the armed forces. It could bring Americans closer to service members and juice military recruitment—all of which is sorely needed,” @kschake.bsky.social writes:
Sometimes a Parade Is Just a Parade
Not everything the Trump administration does is a threat to democracy.

South Africa’s “White Genocide” Is a Lie
The myth’s purpose is to make it seem dangerous to have Black people in control of the government.

I think this kind of gives the game away.
SCOOP: The Antisemitism Awareness Act — up for vote in Senate committee tomorrow — now has a religious liberty clause to protect ‘Jews killed Jesus’ statements by Christian conservatives.
New added language in the bill clarifies First Amendment protections.

Why the Antisemitism Awareness Act now has a religious liberty clause to protect ‘Jews killed Jesus’ statements
The Antisemitism Awareness Act's added language says it would not infringe on religious liberty to protect the claim that Jews killed Jesus.
