@nedwin I think a lot of the cheap terrible books that aren’t related to IP must be created specifically for sell in to large chains (ie Walmart) and are pumped out by publishers using fake authors (almost certainly AI now) and flat-fee illustration (likely from lower-paid countries)

[Hannah Babble @hannahbabble]

@nedwin Licensed / IP content sells and is super cheap to produce. Quality original books are expensive to create (ie paying an illustrator to adequately cover labour hours), if it’s a new/unknown author you start with a lower print run, low margin and higher risk

@RossFloate Why pad the saddle when you can pad the shorts?

@MattCowgill Roll Bus Roll by Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyards. Extremely bus positive.

@MattCowgill We have recently started rewatching to fill the Succession-shaped hole. I had forgotten just how viscerally painful it is to watch (and I mean that in the best way possible).

[Heather Hogan @theheatherhogan]

What in god’s name is happening here. Do Succession and Sex & The City exist in the same universe? Is Che Diaz buying Kendall’s clothes off of Poshmark? Is Kendall buying Che Diaz’s clothes off of Poshmark????

@garethsd Are the cocktail frankfurts the ones wearing the fancy clothes? I’m thinking yes.
