I'm an indie #writer with no agent or publisher, and if you enjoy short #fiction that is a little noise and a bit murdery without jump-scares or sacrificial women, please consider reviewing my books

P.S. please boost.

This week's free short story is titled “Norbert's Risky Days”, and is about a man whose character flaws and self-radicalization have led him down a path in which his risks climb invisibly, and lead him to death.

I didn't want to detract from your post on B&N and Amaz*n undermining indie bookshops. It was a good thread on an important topic.

What I want to say directly to you, though, is that those same indie booksellers mainly support the big imprints that fuck indie writers

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

It’s worth mentioning that Bookshop.org was specifically created to help indies—you can buy online, choose an indie to support, and the store gets a huge percentage of the sale. Even if you don’t have an indie in your area, Bookshop supports bookstores!

What's your opinion on B&N vs Draft2Digital vs IngramSpark vs Kobe vs etc?

I'm looking to migrate from KDP

This statement from the NSF is insane.

Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false.

Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

Question for anyone who rides a motorcycle or bicycle- could you wear a helmet on top of a wig, or would you have to remove the wig first?

And where might one acquire this plant?

They can't afford to know too much about Christianity. Otherwise, they would have to face the uncomfortable fact that their savior was a socialist Jew

No, Elon, if you theoretically teleported all the Italians to America, the place they landed wouldn't suddenly become Italy. It would just be full of angry Italians

The country of Italy is defined by its geographical location.
That's how this fucking works, you putz

“Christ is King”

Kyle did you even read the source material, bruh? When they called him king he was a tongue in cheek MF who rode in on a donkey as a mockery of the very suggestion

A star cluster within a nebula. The background is filled with thin, pale blue clouds. Parts are thicker and pinker in colour. The cluster is made up of bright blue stars that illuminate the nebula around them. Large arcs of dense dust curve around, before and behind the clustered stars, pressed together by the stars’ radiation. Behind the clouds of the nebula can be seen large numbers of orange stars.

I'm on the Umbra website looking at this bathroom storage thing and decide to click "New Arrivals" just to see what else they have.

I'm sure this is going to be a fucking cracker!

Many Judges Choose Not to Recuse When Big Cases Intersect With Their Families’ Interests Ambiguous — and unenforced — recusal standards mean few checks and balances for top judges when cases involve their family members.

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections.

Apparently so

You know what I would love to see? I would love to see a longform piece explaining tariffs, trade deficits, their impact on economies, how they have been dealt with historically, and how to understand them so we all better understand what’s going on.
