Those are only the ones that could afford to get there; rafts of those who can’t, are being forced to give birth in a state that won’t support them.

Amazon requires DRM, which Doctorow considers anathema. Since the author won’t allow DRM on his works, Amazon refuses to sell them.

In fact, the author, in order to be found in Audible search results, penned an essay explaining how Audible rips off writers and readers. It's called "Why None of My Audiobooks Are For Sale on Audible".

Republicans killing a program instituted by one of their own, that saved millions of lives, is a clear indication of the depths the party has sunk to.

That article has some spin loaded in there.

“Major Reddit moderators went dark last month in protest of the company’s announcement that it would be raising its API prices, saying it was necessary because…”

Bullshit bwana! They instituted OSFA pricing, when prior it was free.

Get the fucking facts straight before publishing, ya gits.

Just like Trickle Down, “Don’t be evil” has aged well and deserves to be repackaged. /s

About damn time somebody stood up to those fascists and said “No!”, in clear, uncertain, simple terms they’ll understand.

Caveat emptor, says the ADA:

“There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth. Because the research was conducted on animal models, its applicability to humans remains uncertain, as stressed by Dr. Erinne Kennedy from the American Dental Association.”

Waiting for the first reports of unicorn spirals and Paleolithic grade protuberances from the clinical trials.

There are benefits?

As a US citizen, it seems like it should be relegated to the last century and not dragged any further into the future.

With how many poison pills inside?

See posts from Will Wheaton and others on what creative accounting does to residual income. Ronald Reagan must be spinning like a top ATM.

That’s some bullshit.

“Davis (the victim of the assault) is struggling with accepting what kind of lenience the plea deal offers Kenoyer. Not only was he able to administratively resign from Cripple Creek PD, effectively allowing him to be hired on with another department in the future, but he also avoided prison time in a case originally charged as a class-3 felony punishable by up to 4-12 years in prison.”

Sadly, it’s the taxpayers footing the bill for this settlement.

Don’t get me wrong, he has compensation coming, but how about from the salaries of those responsible? Or from their departmental budget for the next five years?

Quit allowing them to dodge responsibility.

These are the fools that believe power, position and buckets’o’bux will insulate them from the apocalypse.

In a term? Dominion mentality. Add a little master/servant hierarchy, a pinch of patriarchy and stir well.
