So for now considering where you are on the book AND being a mod in this transitional time should I cut out the "bringing up stuff that might be useful?" I can tell you as far as recording TRAMP's most deranged moments, the opening monologes of Steven Colbert and Seth Myers are good, so there's a source if you need it

I've been following the lol thread since it started, and have only caught glimpses of this book in the trpmo thread, but I really appreciate what you're doing, and working with ink and quill (or STEEL PEN as it is also known) is a rad, messy, fun adventure. Calligraphy is neat and stress relieving, but sometimes you just gotta splash some ink around and not be afraid to make an absolute mess. Here's one item I found that was a game changer - "Masking Fluid." (the stuff I used was milky and almost like a thin glue - no idea what the clear stuff is like.) It's a liquid latex that dries and then acts like masking tape. You could also consider it a "liquid stencil" To remove it, you peel up a corner, it will ball up and stick it to itself, leaving whatever was drawn underneath untouched. rock on as far as a printer goes, I'd look into options closest to you and span out from there & assess cost. If it were me, I would rather personally pick up a bulk of books and ship them off one by one instead of paying for a bulk shipment to be sent to me (books are heavy.)

KRUGMAN: Thinking about the course of the Covid-19 pandemic in America, I found myself remembering Sam Smith’s history of the march to war in Iraq, told entirely in official lies. So here’s a modest attempt to do the same for the coronavirus, with statements from officials and right-wing media. I’ve grouped the statements by topic, and used chronological order within each topic.quote:The course of the pandemic

So lately I've been enjoying Totalus Rankium American Presidents.It's good if you want a light yet informative podcast on that subject - the story of Franklin Pierce remains weirdly relevent Anyway, today I learned Andrew Jackson dresses like a vampire in his official portrait. The one glove thing is a refrence to once of Jackson's arms being semi-functional (dueling wound, naturally:) Here Jackson wears his darker-than-black fuligin suit Though VP [for a while] and noted gigantic rear end in a top hat John C. Calhoun looks like a supervillian. That facial hair, it's like he only shaved the parts of his face that his collar didn't cover: To be fair that picture is later than his VP-tenure, here is his official portrait: I mean seriously, evil muppets are less overtly evil And he is known to have a personal crest, and it is thus: Also haev ad looking for nuclear weapon designers Also also have a John Brown:

Beardless John Brown no less! Calhoun’s neck beard makes it look like he is a werewolf attempting to shave to look like a normal person. That Jackson portrait is very unusual among presidential portraits for not having him holding or near a piece of paper.

He was right Buchanan's portrait is a little weird. Portraits are done only after the president has left the white house or died. This is usually a year or two after. Buchanan's portrait is done 50 years after, and puts him in a black suit in a black background, so he looks disembodied

I heard that there was a comet visible in the sky between now and mid-August and so I've been watching the skies. They were exceptionally clear last night, and I started looking around and spotting some unusual celestial objects. Mars: Venus: Comet!!!!! Reminded me of this: This is from the header of a news article from 1664 which describes "3 remarkable events" of that year. The first was the plague, which killed 10% of the city. Then there was the comet, and we all know comets are ill omens that bring foul tidings. The third was the stripping of the leaves from the trees, probably related to a strong hurricane season in the north Atlantic. Well, that season is just about to start, so let's see if the cycle repeats itself. I will update the book to include a mention of the comet. twoday has issued a correction as of 04:13 on Jul 13, 2020 |

I feel like Cuomo’s poster oddly fits the theme pretty well. maybe the book needs a “c-spam tough” or “Covid tough” poster of its own! https://twitter.com/nygovcuomo/status/1282865048889827329?s=21 also twoday, i saw you mention in another thread that you’re considering publishing earlier for funds reasons. I bet some folks would be willing to pay up for a preorder. I would! I know it can be rough to estimate costs before you have the materials and practice with the labor involved, but maybe something to consider.

So, we're in a time now where the plot of Jaws replayed itself, with Dr. Fauchi as the Sheriff, Trump as the dumb-as-gently caress mayor, and the shark as itself Who's the sea captain who gives a career-making performance only to die before the movie is even released?

Woodrow Wilson apparently: 1. Never made a single statement about the Spanish Flu 2. Caught said flu in April 1919, when he was at Versailles negotiating the infamous treaty 3. That's really late, Wilson caught the Spanish Flu in its last, mildest wave 4. It still shithoused the man and affected his mind. He'd have his stroke six months later Anyway, let me just say #1 is STRONG EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE the Spanish flu never happened* *or maybe Wilson was not very good at presidenting Peanut President posted:bernie

So there are two ways I could go about this. The first is the traditional way, getting a printer like Print Ninja, where I have to order a minimum of 250 books and pay upfront. It seems like the quality would be high, and it would be cheaper, but then I have to fork up several thousand dollars upfront (I am broke af and behind on rent so that's not really an option), and then I could sign them, and edit them by hand and do some other nice things to them. But besides the main problem with this of having to pay up front, there is another problem - that I don't know how many copies I would sell. So I might end up with either too few or too many. Another problem is shipping, this would make the shipping really expensive because I have to ship them from europe (18 euros per book). The other option is to use a company like lulu, which is a quite a bit more expensive per book (so I will make less money off of it unless I jack up the price), and I think the quality of the books will be slightly less nice, but they print on demand and then also ship the book (and also list it on sites like amazon and barnes and noble, lol), so the shipping is much cheaper because the books never pass through my hands. Then I can't sign them either, or do some other stuff I wanted to do to them. Right now the second option seems like the easiest. But I guess I could make a kickstarter or something and try for the first option. If I do a kickstarter I can make tiers. For instance there was one goon who keeps offering me 200 bucks to make a handbound super fancy version, and I was thinking I could emboss a leather cover with the trump face and some nice leafing or something, really trump it up.
