This really upsets me. My preferred format has always been the mass market paperback. I can often fit them in a back pocket or cargo pocket, they fit better in my backpack, and they're easier to hold in positions with one hand. They're simply the superior format. I know they probably don't look cool on coffee tables or whatever, but they also use less surface area on coffee tables. I hate floppy coffee table sized paperback books.

It's fine, though, because most of what I read is old shit. I can keep buying my used mass market paperbacks. By the time the last ones disappear, I'll probably be dead.

Meanwhile, real black African history is basically never taught due to the shadow of colonialism.

Instead of reaching for some false valour, can we teach the full pre-colonial history of Africa?

The cookie banners are the result of shitty web companies aggressively violating our privacy. It's not the regulation's fault that every company is evil.

The easy solution to eliminate the banners is for companies to stop being evil.

Now they start taking away privileges from citizens for disagreeing with government policy. Next they jail them.

All of the AI tools know how to make CP somehow - probably because their creators fed it to them.
