@CatoMinor3 @steveHNH @fsf So the MIT blurb says Minsky was accused of "***ault" because that's a legal term for *** with a minor being trafficked. RMS takes issue because it has connotations of violence and nit-picks that she probably seemed eager to sleep with Minsky. That nit-pick discussion is awkward.

@SaintsDraftt @TheSaintsWire Problem with Horn is he likely won’t be there at 28. In the interest of brevity I left out a blurb about a potential choice bw Newsome and Farley; I’d be happy with either. Going to have write ups on Farley and Stokes out shortly as well!

But wait, the Buy Me! notes on the back cover there contain the original blurb that Amazon ran for the book, a blurb that was hastily amended due its false claim that Zille is a victim who has been "cancelled."

I've 5 endor*****ts due by the 19. One way to foster the writing community is to blurb as much as you can. We're all busy but make time as much as you can. Authors and editors don't forget and if you just can't say " but I'd love to influence" write the pub date down and share
