Things that seemed like a good idea at the time: spread butter on chicken burgers before cooking them on the griddle On the silver lining side, they were moist and damn tasty inside.

I've seen a few people mention (one to me) others before and now today that libraries are advocating free stuff/not sales for the author. Libraries don't acquire books by magic. They buy copies with money. It can be hundreds/thousands of sales. People pay taxes to use the library. Nothing is free.

This is making a big splash. But there's a big problem, here. @pewresearch.org has documented that opt-in online panels (the only way to get 100k+ respondents, so has to be the methodology here) have a lot of error in measuring young people's opinions - SPECIFICALLY on antisemitism.

This tracks with everything I've covered for years. It's not in people's heads: America is getting more antisemitic, and that starts with the young. When people focus on antisemitic politicians, they need to grasp that in a democracy, those politicians are downstream from voters.

Also on point. And John took more care spelling it out in detail than I have patience for. Don't idolize people. It means you stop seeing them as people. That's not good for anyone.

Man, anyone who's ever heard me talk about my writing knows that 'making something simple feel like something lush and complex' is my goal, always. Really grateful for this kind take on my BCS story.

As a writer, I try to think about "what's the most realistic/believable thing the characters could be doing in this moment," but also "what's the most interesting thing that could happen now." Shockingly often, violent/angry conflict is neither the most believable nor the most interesting response.
