this is exactly what Starbucks did in the 90s and 00s, and it’s why so many amazing (and late-night!) coffee shops in Chicago are long gone

The B&N opening in Hyde Park is in the middle of three Black-owned indies -- Call & Response, Da Book Joint, and Build Coffee and Books. I'm not 100% on this, but I think that's around half of Chicago's Black-owned indies with permanent locations. (there are a couple popups)

Indie bookstores are marked with blue pins. From north to south: Call & Response, First Aid Comics, 57th Street Books, Powells, Seminary Co-op, Build Coffee and Books, and Da Book Joint. 

There is a red pin representing an upcoming Barnes & Noble closest o First Aid, Powells, and 57th Street Books

They seem to be staying clear of other chains like Books a Million and Half Price Books (in yellow)

The CEO of Barnes & Noble says they aren't hurting indies, but in Chicagoland they're exclusively opening near independent bookstores. I threw together a map. Blue pins are indies, red pins are new B&Ns (recent and upcoming) Map here: indiebooks.nerdychicago.com

(I'm pretty sure I've owed a few people responses for months, and why yes I do stress about that every single day. But I don't have time to go back and figure out what I missed until after Christmas)

I try to respond to everything, but emails are a much lower priority than actually running the store. And responding to the small vendors that I want to stock and GMs who want to run games is going to take priority over strangers who want to use my store to help them advertise!

Have you noticed this new friend in our Art & Community space? It's a Care Cubby stocked to help you care for yourself and your community! Our Care Cubby was made by the @trashgoblins.bsky.social, because goblins believe in mutual aid. 💚
A wooden chest decorated as a Dungeons & Dragons-style “mimic,” with teeth, eyes, a red tongue, and a green dragon head on the front. The chest is open, showing a teeth and a hint of a tongue. Under the chest, there are shelves stocked with Narcan boxes, harm reduction supplies, and other small items.Two boxes of Narcan nasal spray (naloxone HCl 4mg) on a shelf. The boxes contain two single-dose nasal spray devices for emergency treatment of opioid overdose.A close-up of a basket with packets labeled “WiseBatch Harm Reduction,” containing individually wrapped test strips. Signs indicate three types: benzodiazepine, xylazine, and fentanyl single-use test strips.

I'm on a little crusade today. If you want to help me yell about AI art harming real artists in a very direct way, please amplify! Faire is actively working to grow their presence in the book market, and I think there's a good chance some pressure could get them to add some sort of AI policy.

participating in an organized boycott – not a haphazard, individual one – of a company as large as microsoft will always pose complex questions on a long enough timescale. but skipping the oblivion remaster weeks after bds declared microsoft a priority target? easy. a complete no brainer
But beyond that, purely from a consumer’s perspective, this one’s easy! Oblivion is almost two decades old. And in addition to the modding scene I mentioned above, which essentially allows the original game to self-revitalize on a regular basis, this remaster is coming out during a new-release avalanche. In the past month or so alone, we’ve gotten: Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Schedule 1, Runescape: Dragonwilds, Promise Mascot Agency, Lost Records: Bloom And Rage, Split Fiction, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, Wanderstop, Atomfall, Two Point Museum, and so many others that it’s nearly impossible to keep track.

None of those scratch the Oblivion itch? Pick up one of the dozens of interesting indies inspired by old-school Bethesda games, like Dread Delusion, whose gleefully alien worldbuilding puts recent Bethesda fare to shame. It only has a few thousand Steam reviews. You probably missed it when it came out last year. You probably missed hundreds of good games when they came out last year – and the year before, and the year before.

Everybody is posting about the Oblivion remaster today, and over 100,000 people are playing it on Steam. But in a couple days – probably when the review embargo lifts on the next big game that’s about to come out, realistic France simulator Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – they’ll stop. That’s one of the few upsides of living through this era of Peak Media: Whatever your reasons, be they budget or boycott, you can always just skip the thing everybody is talking about. Give it a day or two, and there will inevitably be something else.

Francis appointed almost 80% of the cardinal electors, so it's unlikely that it will swing too conservative. Tagle is the presumed frontrunner that I'm hoping for. Or Zuppi, but he seems less likely to me.

In a couple years, you'll get married in Goblin Market's community space and mothman will perform the ceremony. You'll get that first free comic you read together slabbed and graded for your paper anniversary. It comes back at a 4.2, a reminder that you're very good despite some moderate defects.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

I really hate this take. You have no idea why people didn't vote. We live in a country with systemic voter suppression. Election Day isn't a national holiday in the US and there's a host of mechanisms set up to encourage people in many states not to vote.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Red's 19, and a 30-year-old turd is trying to ruin her life in exchange for a $5000 cash prize from fascists. Said turd competed in mixed-gender competitions without issue, but took exception to Red, because taking an unprincipled knee to vilify a scapegoated population is lucrative right now.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.
