One year ago if that Hawaii missle alert went out everyone would just go "obviously this this is a false alarm"

After one year with Trump not so much

But if dozens of people slow clap it just sounds like regular clapping, which totally misses the point.

Ancient Greek. When the audience were unhappy they would slow clap. This eventually evolved into applause.

Why? Wasn't it called off after less than 10 minutes?

I didn't get the notification it was called off for half an hour. It's plausible that someone saw the warning and then went to a shelter immediately and didnt check their phone at all during that period because HOLY poo poo NUKES ARE IN THE AIR.

Does no one else find this display pretty racist or at least staggeringly ignorant? I mean, why is Malala on there? She isn't from an African country or Haiti which were the countries being discussed at that meeting. I think it's just because she is a poc?

Also there are American born and raised writers on there. It's like they just picked out PoC authors with foreign names and slapped em on the table which is gross as hell.

I’m not gonna accuse you of hand-wringing because I can obviously see where you are coming from but this is like the most Kingston AF response possible and Kingston is a very black heavy city, def one of the blackest cities in NY, and I think the point they are trying to make is more important than maybe attempting to make it in the most milquetoast, least effective way possible.

By using this language, they are making a statement about the power of language, which is a pretty salient thing for a bookstore to do.

I think those are all countries that Trump has insulted lately. Malala's in there because he laid into Pakistan in a tweet and called them liars who support terrorism.

Also, I would probably bet my next paycheck that none of those authors' families originated in America, the former USSR or European country.
