I'm not on Kindle Unlimited, and it was still free for me.

I forgot that Amazon started allowing downloading ebooks again - I used my regular method to liberate it through more complicated means :D

Looking at the CSS, the paragraphs usually have a bottom margin of 0.2em. Ideally it should be 0. Sometimes it's defined in percentages instead. Image is from Amazon's preview.

Thanks! Comment from forums which I agree with, if you ever reformat the ebooks: Please remove the spacing between paragraphs. They're already identified by the indented first line.

What's going on in Israel re: propaganda, so ppl know:

Was talking to family there this AM & they had TV on. It was reported to me (w/eyeroll) that there was a segment on "what a tough masculine hottie" Hegseth is, "with the tattoos and everything."

"Did they mention the Nazi tattoo?"

"What?!?"

The Pain Point – or why the Vimes Boots theory isn’t true The Vimes Boots theory of unfairness is beloved of the internet and, for many reasons, it should be. In Men at Arms, he puts this into Vimes' head: "The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars.

“I was inside the hotel. They killed all our people. First they bombed once. I went inside. Then they bombed again.
They killed our children.”

Here's What We Know We know that this is not about Iran’s people, it’s about Iran’s oil and wealth.

Here’s what we know: this isn’t about Iran’s people—it’s about oil, wealth, and power.

@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social lays out why this war has no mandate (and why de-escalation is the only way forward).

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I traveled across Iran in 2004 as a very young person. It's a beautiful country w/mountainous geography reminiscent of Colorado or Montana. Everywhere I went, people seemed eager to reassure me "we hate your government, not you." In our own hell, we are now experts at making that same distinction.

Story day! My story "Piglet Delivers" is now available to read online in Apex Magazine! I am so excited to share this strange story of my heart with the world. If you grew up with Milne's books about the Hundred Acre Wood, you might feel (somewhat) at home. www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

Hani Mahmoud reports that since agreeing to the so called ceasefire Israel has killed over 600 people in Gaza, continues to bomb neighbourhoods & demolish houses, and is still limiting the amount of humanitarian aid that enters Gaza (including food, medical supplies and fuel)
