News
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. Things picked up a little around here. @elvismercury set the pace with the top post, A Bunch Of Alarming Shit. Apt title. This hit home. I recognize my own shrinking attention span and that of those around me. I had more to say, but now I forget ;) There were a bunch of other good posts, with decent engagement and zaps.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 9:00am every Saturday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Enjoyed the ‘There are still real bookstores out there’ post. I hope people are still reading physical books and not using them as backdrop for their Zoo-m meetings… I may be a touch too cynical.
Woah, nice... Did nooot pay enough SN attention this week, obvs
Great work!
Thanks for the shout out! Hope you find this story out-of-this-world.
