Holding Trump accountable for his crimes is NOT political.

pretty amazing how books pause automatically

@dumbo Oh, I’d just be an American house cat in a nice neighborhood.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to stomach the onslaught of media coverage over Trump’s many criminal trials. Maybe I need to pause all my news subscriptions for, I don’t know, a year? Go live in a cave somewhere.

I know it is incredibly hard to believe, but this is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. People actually voted for this intellectually challenged being. #Boebert #trump

"(1) The indictment of the former president on multiple felony counts is an historic vindication of the principle that no one is above the law, and (2) our democracy and legal system are about to face a dangerous stress test." https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/indicted

How’s this for an idea that should not be controversial: Ban assault rifles, not books.

I don’t fully understand the Internet Archive case. I want them to be able to lend books, but I also don’t want to see it abused as a way to avoid paying for intellectual property. I’ve heard people suggest exactly that.

I don’t believe everything should be free. I believe people should be compensated for their hard work and artistic abilities. If we want to have published work, we need publishing to be profitable.
