This sounds like a plot point in a Yorgos Lanthimos film

A footballer is not going to refuse to take a picture or sign a jersey for children just because their mom is an asshole. There's a code of sportsmanship to be observed

BLOGS. Now there's a word I haven't heard in a while. Anybody else have favorites? Is Book Riot good anymore, or has it also devolved into listicles and pop ups?

As a result of this social media shift, I’ve started following some book blogs again for the first time in almost a decade.

I don't know what the solution is at this point. In the past I thought maybe it'd be good to have more than 2 political parties? But then ppl from countries with multi-party systems jump in and say no, this is the path to madness

One hundred percent. The drop-off is scary.

Usually when I find a giant house spider somewhere inconvenient, I just move it to another less inconvenient part of the house, but today I found one so large that it had to be banished to the backyard. My love has limits

What a great idea.

Nvm they're back, apparently; carry on as you were

Whoa. Maybe I take back some of the things I said about the level of discourse on Threads. Apparently after the biased debate coverage and the anti-voting screed, The People bullied them off the platform.

Also, your local librarians will always talk about any of the books they’ve read! I love to force my favorites onto unsuspecting patrons.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Librarians are the only pillar of civilization still standing

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

The cluster of moms at after-school pickup, the people you see on the 8:15 bus to work, the barista at your local coffee shop, your customers if you yourself are the barista, the neighbor you secretly hate, your first roommate who you still talk to on Facebook, your informal lunch break smoking club

These exist! They are only sent to booksellers, however.
