This is horrifying.

"Residents reported being knocked to their knees. The earth was pushed upward by more than three centimetres — enough to register on satellites."

Alvin Bragg is bought by George Soros. He allows violent criminals to walk the streets of New York City, but will prosecute the likely Republican nominee (and former president) on a baseless misdemeanor charge. These people are trying to turn America into a third-world country. https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1636873365477552129

Republican politicians' continued calls to repeal the Affordable Care Act would put health care at risk for millions of people.

President @JoeBiden and I will not let that happen.

“But before they claim that this is not about banning books and not about harming the LGBT community, let's just look at the impacts of similar Republican legislation that has already passed on the state level.”

Watch @RepAOC call out lawmakers who are pushing to ban books.

@steveklabnik and it's hard to justify on the basis that it means the only people that get to write books are those that can do it as a personal indulgence

@steveklabnik especially when as a day rate, the amount most authors are likely to see is peanuts compared to their day job

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

money isn't everything, and if you're a bit of a romantic about books like i am, seeing your book published physically and in a bookstore is worth almost more than the money

but that's a hard sell to basically anyone who isn't.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

but once you've done it already... the value proposition changes quite a bit, especially for these sorts of numbers.

tough time to be in the book publishing business.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

the author points out in a comment on his blog that they did in fact do a *lot* of things for him that he didn't even think of and that as a first-time author, that's helpful. which is very true!

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

i liked working with No Starch, and I'm not making any money from the book I'm publishing with them, so this isn't about them. If I write another book someday, I'll likely talk to them first if I choose to go with a publisher at all.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

you can see how much a publisher can take from an author to publish their work. the question is, are they worth it?

for this publisher, given their reputation, i'd say "no"

okay, I made this chart for a private conversation, but since it took me five minutes, might as well post it

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

i read a blog post review of an author who worked with a publisher on their book, and they were kind enough to share their %s and their sales #. this is from 2019, a book on a technical subject
