News
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. @denlillaapan took a brief break this
week from boomer bashing to earn four of the Top Five posts. It's just like
the old days. I finally am getting back into the swing of things here, and
that includes the return of Siggy's Suggestions. It really was a good week
overall, so thanks to everyone who makes this site what it is.
I hope you all have a good week.
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
I choose the top 5 posts each week based on sats, engagement, and overall
quality. 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.

It's good to see @TheFictionFactory back in the territory after what seems
like a long break, but my memory is fuzzy. Check out both of the new fiction
pieces.
I'm glad fiction is returning to the territory, and that @TheFictionFactory is
showcasing new work. Check it out.
@deluluwithjuju_ has also returned, giving us a look into the process of
writing long fiction, and celebrating completion of her first draft.

THE GREAT DEN SWEEEEEEP... is still in the future.
also: when did I acquire the reputation of boomer bashing? Surely I don't do that on too much of a regular basis?
(also, who does that word-analysis/SN summary thing... compare my relative frequency of bashing of boomers to my bashing of, I dunno, FT columnists or Saylor or treasury companies!!)
.... HA! I finally got it. I can retire(!) comfortably now, with a clear conscience.

Commenting here so that I would remember to check out @TheFictionFactory’s works
Glad that @deluluwithjuju_ has finished writing her book!

I believe he was back to Boomer Bashing yesterday
I know. I almost posted about my social security check, but I didn't want to give the kid a stroke.
It would be pretty great trolling
It would be, lol
What?! "kid"
Also, it's Saturday morning... I've had both food and coffee. No strokes (or fits of rage) now!
When you're my age, everyone's a kid
