    For 20 years, Massachusetts planned for the possibility of needing to vaccinate the public in an emergency situation. But late last year, Governor Baker "took the playbook, threw it in the dumpster, and privatized the whole thing...”

    “I worked for Pence from May 2018 to August 2020. I was the vice president’s chief COVID-19 staffer. I interacted with him regularly, and I have a pretty good idea of his character. Pence isn’t evil. He’s weak.” - ⁦⁩ 👀

    Writing a novel now is more impressive than at any point in history. If James Joyce could have watched pornography on the same machine he used to write no living person would know his name.

    Central Park became an “essential sanctuary” for New Yorkers during the past year, writes, and a place to seek precious communal moments: like witnessing a miraculous snowy owl in flight.

    This is literally the same language used by Tucker Carlson that lost him a significant number of advertisers, yet the network still allows this to continue and & continue to sponsor it.

    Exactly.

    So if you give your life to Wall Street and leave your kids stocks and bonds, they're set. But if you eschew a life in finance and instead write creatively, those assets belong not to your immediate heirs, but to the world. A recipe for a world of stockbrockers and no literature.

    No, unfuck yourself on this. I am not speaking for myself, but for a multitude of others when I tell you that there are so many good and great writers who are scratching out a self-employed retirement on the royalties from a backlist that represents a lifetime of hard, hard work.

    I’m gonna do a serious post about this — books that are 30 years old should be in the public domain and just available at least in digital form basically for free forever. Unlike with most “cancel” stuff there’s a bona fide policy issue here with broad implications.

    Will no one stand up for the Neanderthals, in the face of prejudice and bigotry? Is no one brave enough?

    President Biden’s use of an old stereotype is hurtful to modern Europeans, Asians & Americans who inherit about 2% of their genes from Neanderthal ancestors. He should apologize for his insensitive comments and seek training on unconscious bias.

    If you can't imagine being 60, when you're 30 or under, you really can't imagine being 60 and watching your first book earn other people money. But you will be 60, unless you die, and it won't even seem that old to you.

    Same here! My life today would be very different if my first book had entered public domain at 30.

    W odpowiedzi do @mattyglesias
    Where do you get 30 as the magic number? My first book is more than 30 years old, people still buy it, and I earn royalties from it. Why shouldn’t I? Young writers today will someday be my age.
