"As we have discussed at this site many times, we as a society have been pushed to "peak liberalism" to prime us to push back in the other direction, and we are on the precipice of a huge political pendulum swing. Not just back to something more resembling 1950s conservatism, as some may imagine - but to out-and-out tyrannical authoritarianism.

Forbes on The Folio Society

A gushing Forbes article on the importance and elegance of deluxe books: When Joanna Reynolds first became CEO of The Folio Society in 2016, the London-based publishing company known for its beautifully illustrated hardcover editions of classic books had been steadily losing money for a decade and was on the verge of being sold. “It […]

Have you ever heard of Dycenian glassess?

Dicyanin was a blue dye made from coal-tar. It can be prepared by the action of KOH [potassium hydroxide] + atmospheric O [oxygen] on α-γ-Dimethylquinolinium salts.

The dye is said to make light waves beyond the human eye capability visible. This can only be done by changing the wavelength, something that other dyes will also do and is known as fluorescence.

And the fact that it is banned, might mean it works. Especially since there is no definitive reason it is banned.

The Inventor of the goggles did state that some people didn’t have an aura. Which either indicates someone is so low vibrational or they aren’t entirely human.

Much love,

Immigration on this scale is not immigration. It is replacement. It is colonisation. It is an extinction level event for British culture and the British people. To say that reversing mass immigration is unfair, unethical or impractical is to consign a thousand years of civilisation to the dustbin of history. It is an abnegation of our obligation as custodians. https://www.northernvariant.co.uk/p/immigration-the-time-for-half-measures?

"But Baen has been circling the drain for years anyhow, because its business practices are out of date. It ignored the authors it should have been courting – including Nick Cole, Jason Anspach, John C. Wright, JDA, and myself, among others – while also ignoring the advent of crowdfunding and the negative impact of Kindle Unlimited. And now its window of opportunity has closed.

"People can preen and posture all they like, but what will be will be. And it’s both foolish and futile to get one’s panties in a bunch over educated observers simply noting what has happened, what is happening, and what is likely to happen. Let bygones be bygones and make hay while the sun is shining; just yesterday one of my more vehement past critics and I achieved mutual understanding on a potential future project with excellent prospects for both of us; whether we follow through on it or not, the mere fact of our discussion is a testimony to the professional approach to these things.

"I may not be fond of John Scalzi, just to give one example, but if the man ever decides he wants to do a deluxe edition of Old Man’s War in leather, I’ll not only agree to work with him, I’ll guarantee him that we will make him a higher-quality and more attractive edition than Easton or Folio Society will give him. Because an important part of being professional is learning how to set aside one’s personal predilections."

This was a mindblowing podcast episode. What if Sir Francis Bacon wrote all of Shakespeare's plays?

Before you knee-jerk, it's very plausible.

"News has gotten out to the publishing world about Ark Press and its poaching of high-quality talent from Baen Books, causing a reaction from several Baen employees and authors, including Larry Correia, who says he’ll “add to the freak out” with a new announcement of going fully independent with future book series."
