A new hero emerges

More to come soon.

The age of the internet has had consequences on the human psyche. One example is shortening of attention spans. This is reflected on how effective simplification of our media has had in the media industry. However, is it starting to go too far?

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

i learned that the CIA revealed a “heart attack” gun in 1975. A battery operated gun which fired a dart of frozen water & shellfish toxin. Once inside the body it would melt leaving only a small red mark on the victim where it entered. The official cause of death would always be a heart attack (x)

This type of shit should be the most important thing in people’s radar, but no

[xchainlinkx]

I believe two national leaders died of "heart attack" for refusing the Covid vaccine. A third was assassinated... By a group involving US agents.

Don’t worry, Gail....

...They didn’t.

This is funny to me. The fact that for the third month in a row, I believe, the top 20 graphic novel earners have all been manga titles. Meanwhile, DC, Image, Dark Horse and Marvel have either been rarities or non-existent at all. It started in April where Manga titles had 15 out of 20, then May with 18 out of 20, and now we have June of 2021 where Manga has completely dominated the landscape. Even Death Note, a series that has been finished for over ten years (God, I’m old) scored in the top 5.

Many have experienced deplatforming and censorship online, and it's been growing at an alarming rate. If tech giants like Twitter and Facebook have power to censor your own President, then there is a major problem in the state of the world.

I agree. The Federal Reserve is racist and we should cancel it 😉

[chainlinkproductions]

Free speech is important. Without it, your entertainment would be controlled by a select few. Unfortunately, this arguable seems to be the case as there's an increasing grip of control on our media. Learn here why the 1st amendment is important to our culture and our art.
