iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

That’s what I just said, you’re agreeing with me

I just don’t think anyone can discount a trend that had previously ambivalent readers waiting in line for 700 page books lol. Nothing else came close in that regard. Now one could argue those same kids read every Harry Potter book and nothing after and since 😂 but yeah

I said contemporary for a reason. For kids who are already heavy readers (I was too) it’s easy to read older books or get into some classics. HP was unique in that they were very lengthy, moderate reading level books that were also super modern and appealing to kids who didn’t like to read

lol why do white people do this

I’m surprised at how many people said they thought he was dead. They aren’t being sent to death. They are very valuable prisoners for Trump to use for his propaganda and for El Salvador to use as labor. Deaths will happen at Guantanamo

Are y’all illiterate lol

It wasn’t YA, it was middle grade. The later books were YA as the characters aged but 1-3 at the time it didn’t have much contemporary competition. The authors you mention are more older YA to adult

No ten year old reading a 700 page book for fun is borderline illiterate

Cause they were children who weren’t watching online breakdowns, just engaged in a very classic story with more in depth world building than was often available for that age group.

They were literally kids books. Specifically middle grade, so it’s kinda crazy to say a 700 page book for a 10 year old is for the “borderline illiterate” 🧐

You can be deported with no reason given at all. That’s irrelevant. My point was that you were wrong saying it isn’t free speech. It is.

According to who? And actually yes, hate speech is free speech in the US. That’s why we can’t be jailed for it.

The debate over whether to take Trump literally or seriously is over. He has now learnt how to be the tyrant he always wished to be.
That took a while. But, with the help he has received, he is there. His administration is engaged in a comprehensive assault on the American republic and the global order it created. Under attack domestically are the state, the rule of law, the role of the legislature, the role of the courts, the commitment to science and the independence of the universities. All these were the pillars on which US freedom and prosperity rested.
Now, he is destroying the liberal international order. Soon, I presume, Trump will be invading countries, as he proceeds to restore the age of empires.

“When we treat public health as a menu of optional precautions, we stop being a society and start being a collection of disconnected risk profiles. That may feel empowering in the moment. But when the next crisis hits, we’ll wish we hadn’t forgotten how to move as a unit.”

Reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where they are baffled at why so many finance guys are “confessing” and then they realize they’re actually total dumbasses with no idea what they’ve done and they’re bragging about the short term gains. And here we are

Are you objecting to this specific journalist or disagreeing Wall Street enabled the current situation?
