Every literary prize, upcoming book list, review site, etc. are all completely captured by friendships, bots, gatekeeping, sensitivity readers, offer of sex, or just money. The only way you know a book is 'good,' is if you read it; the action is clear; and you want to keep reading it. Other indicators are entirely subjective. I will use examples below to prove my point.

Should you lie in book reviews to help indie authors? If a book is a 2⭐ experience…rating it a 4⭐ “to help the author” might actually hurt readers more So where do you stand? -Protect indie authors -Or keep ratings 100% honest Let's talk about it👇🧵

@RossElderWrites Oh, and gobsmacking historical ignorance. Can’t forget that one.
English
@RossElderWrites You’d think.
Irregular war is politically expensive, though, so here we are.
A perfect storm of demoralization, political grandstanding, and cowardice.

Nino Guerrero was a bad dude, no doubt about that.
But we DESPERATELY need to come to understand that "decapitation" strikes don't magically end a network.
And TdA has been a network for a long time now.

Tren de Aragua has been DECAPITATED.

Thread from @SecureFreeSoc on today’s strike.
Center for a Secure Free Society@SecureFreeSoc

Guess which word got this post a thumbs down from my mother?
Love you, Mom!

@TDATracker247 I do wonder how much they copied the franchise model from MS-13.
English
@AmericanPraeto2 Yes, this network is self-replicating . This is a major blow to their organizational structure and their morale but the franchise concept by they which operate will still be a big factor.

@TDATracker247 We've seen it over and over with terrorists, cartels, and gangs.
There are always more waiting to come up when the top dog gets knocked down.

Political stunts do not win wars. I shed no tears for Nino Guerrero, but let's not get it slanted.
I've said it over and over. Kingpin strategy doesn't work, and has never worked.

My wife: You know how I say you’re very clumsy for such a graceful man? Well you’re also very dumb for such a smart guy.
Me: Ok well are you just gonna stand there and rag on me or are you gonna help me get my head out of the posts on the bannister?

@RonnieAdkins These laws were clearly written by people who have absolutely no clue about how a firearm functions.

Helpful, yet also many confusion.

Are your guns legal in Virginia?

@ratlpolicy This is why I keep getting pissed off at these CAIR-indoctrinated useful idiots who keep peddling the lie that the GWOT was a plot by the "elites" to enrich themselves.
The "elites" have been trying to declare victory (or surrender) and quit since 2004.
English
@ratlpolicy Too many people don't know or want to know reality.

Two reads to help understand what's happening right now. The version of the Muslim world you have been sold by media (both traditional and social) is only the shadows on the wall of Plato's cave.

There's a lot of criticism to be made regarding this memorial. But the most salient isn't design, location, or symbolism. It's that we're still in the middle of the damn war!

An early look at the @GWOTMF memorial planned for Washington, D.C, released today. It's planned on what are now athletic fields at the corner of Henry Bacon Drive and Constitution Avenue, near the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The Ummah will always band together against the Dar al Harb. They will lie and dissemble when weak, and stab you in the back when the opportunity presents itself.
