When you start "the world's biggest bookstore" and buy a print publication but think encouraging a culture of reading is a waste of money and kill its books section.

Dispatch from my hometown, wish none of this had ever happened newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

@FedeMazza @lxeagle17 oh no am i being obtuse and performative for attention is there a website for that

@embot @lxeagle17 Yes, it actually is. The fact that you did not even bother to scroll a tweet down and do not admit your mistake tells a lot about your intellectual honesty.

@lxeagle17 ah cool, thank you for explaining that, let's keep going back and forth in a way that optimizes our engagement with a broken website instead of doing what's right.

@embot Yeah, it's really common for people to just link to the article in the reply to the tweet on X instead of linking in the original tweet, especially since links are deboosted now. That is, in fact, how it works.

@lxeagle17 Ah okay, so I'll credit him for doing that here in a random comment that nobody will read either. This is how it works?

@embot Posted in a reply to his initial tweet, 5 minutes after the post, linking to your article. x.com/DKThomp/status…

@sidez4 thank you for reading!

@embot 😩, I'm not surprised, there are no real "publishers" in Europe anymore, but sellers... It doesn't matter, I'll read it in English (it will just be slower lol). Thank you for answering me🤟

@MariahCBlake thank you Mariah!

@embot Congratulations, Emily!!! That's fantastic!! And so well deserved!!

I'm so happy to share this news, especially because Isherwood is one of my favorite writers and one whose work was on my mind when writing Health and Safety.

Lots of gratitude to @latimesfob and @IsherwoodFdn —it's a very good time to revisit The Berlin Stories, Journey to a War, Christopher and His Kind, and all of Isherwood's writing.
