Want to be depressed? Read Elle Griffin's analysis of the book publishing industry. Short version: No one buys books. Most books have fewer readers than attendees at a random high school football game. Only a handful of hits subsidize a vanity industry. elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-…

I wrote up a more formal critique of the @LastWeekTonight UFO story and its strange rejection of facts and reason. jasoncolavito.com/blog/john-oliv…
The publisher of one of my books included a form letter with the royalty statement asking if I would donate my royalties back to them to use to support "the next generation" of authors with their book marketing.
I know it's supposed to be a humor book, but this textbook parody, out tomorrow, ends up reinforcing the very stereotypes it supposedly combats.
John Oliver of all people should know that the truth isn't automatically halfway between two opposing views. Sometimes one side is just wrong.

@JasonColavito @LastWeekTonight I have to agree with you on Oliver’s report. It was a very timid approach that were not used to from Oliver.
@JasonColavito @LastWeekTonight I love John Oliver, but I found this really underwhelming without anywhere near the level of criticism of other issues he tackles.
Sometimes I think about weird random things that happen, like when all of Jason’s contact paper fell off on the same night:
I have frosted contact paper on several bathroom and kitchen windows to keep the neighbors from looking in. Some has been up for two months, some for years from the previous owners. Last night, ALL of it started to peel off. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I can't figure out why.
@JasonColavito There are people who delight in Blazing Saddles for reasons completely at odds with the film's intent. I'm not comically fatigued but I'm satired of this. See also Starship Troopers fasci-fans.
@JasonColavito By making UFOs mystical, they are liberated from showing any proof or having any plausible, logical hypothesis of their nature. They become "unknowable" like the nature of God.
@JasonColavito I took his final point to be that scientific inquiry into UFOs is a good idea but that it keeps turning up nada. He (mis)defined hardcore skeptics as those who dismiss and ridicule without even inquiring (i.e. the general public).
@JasonColavito @LtTimMcMillan I actually agree with JC. First time for everything. 😱
@JasonColavito Mine was last month. Treated myself to a platter of Bellavitano cheese with Modena Balsamic vinegar & prosciutto and my home made lasagna and Eggplant Parmiagana.
@KUHoopes @FlintDibble @JasonColavito I got his Mound Builder book, lots of interesting stuff, I didn't realize the myths were so old and so many famous people were involved or knew about it.
