It’s almost as if trans women aren’t the actual problem.

What is the answer to name the home school you went to?

A ‘yeah, but what if you’re wrong’ is more of an idiotic than an iconic response.

A couple of years ago I said it was okay to review a book you couldn’t finish and an academic told me it would be anti-intellectual to do so.

We’ve been looking at pictures like these for well over a year. Except it’s been Israelis illegally imprisoning Palestinians with US support. This has been the face of the US for quite some time now.

Thanks. It’s a good read. Made me think that Amazon being well positioned is based on the belief that consumers outside the US will still buying from Amazon, but given the extent of the tariffs, consumers switching to ally friendly options (EU, Canada, Mexico etc) may challenge that.

I guess all empires fall eventually, but I hadn’t quite factored in just how much stupidity contributed to such falls.

A ‘buy ally’ campaign would possibly be more effective and support attempts to unify. Trump fears irrelevance.

I’d call for all men to look in the mirror each day to see how they themselves embolden boys to become male supremacists. To understand that misogyny is the vampire they will not see in the mirror when they look - but it’ll be there, latched on, sucking the life out of them and everyone else.

From their perspective, he promised to pardon them before he left office last time. He had time, but he didn’t. He betrayed his own and they’ve had time to think about that every day since 6 Jan 2021. Even if he does pay them off, I doubt it’ll ever be enough.

Agreed. All options are welcome. Books are costly to produce. Small print runs = higher unit cost. Profit margins are tiny. With more authors/illustrators than ever before the market is flooded. Distribution costs are nightmarish. Small publishers are sucked up by the big 5. It’s a hard industry.

Part of the argument put forward is for fewer books. So maybe the debut wouldn’t happen at all. As investment companies own the big five, if they were going to reduce the number of books published, they’d reduce risk by publishing known/bankable authors.

In such a segmented, fragmented market where media outlets are endlessly fragmented, distribution is expensive and ever changing, copyright is threatened by AI, and discretionary spending is dependent on wages growth, how do you see this ‘fewer books, better marketing strategy’ working?

It’s very common for people - stupid or not - to think they are too smart to be groomed.

I did a quick search and ‘Keeping their marbles how the treasures of the past ended up in museums...and why they should stay there’ is in LibGen. I’m sure that’s fine though. Meta will be a super safe custodian.
