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.

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

Seriously, what other president is even remotely in his league?
There was corruption in the Grant and Harding administrations, but the presidents were largely uninvolved. Nixon committed crimes in secret but didn't really line his own pockets.
Trump is like a Thomas Nast cartoon come to life.

The NYT claims diagnosis is a problem despite substantial improvements in detection and early intervention. The problem for them is that there are low needs autistic people who can advocate for themselves and push back against dehumanizing rhetoric like this against those on the spectrum.

That's what this is about. They spoke a lot to the parents of autistic children but almost never to the children themselves. It centers the perspectives of allistic people instead. They absolve themselves of this problem by focusing on high needs autistic children they claim they can't speak with.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Excellent journalism highlighting how the State of Alaska is failing rural—and predominantly Alaska Native—students.

As Alaska ignores requests to fund school repairs, its Indigenous children suffer most because rural schools serve predominantly Alaska Native students — a population that was long forced to attend separate and unequal schools.

As someone who nearly died in childbirth, despite excellent health and the medical care of a highly developed country (not the US), my anger at forced-birthers is matched only by that at "free birthers," who bully women into believing it's a status symbol to give birth without medical help.
At St James’ Church at Cooling in Kent are still to be seen the 13 children’s graves surrounding that of their parents that inspired Dickens to write the opening chapter of Great Expectations.
I guess even the folk memory of the huge mortality of childbirth and early life is now disappearing.

I literally don't know who my congressperson is.
Texas is back to using its 2025 congressional map, at least temporarily, after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted the state’s request to pause a court ruling that would have required using the lines legislators drew in 2021.
