Today Karly & Mia are throwing it back to the 2010s YA Dystopian Fiction era and diving into the worlds of "Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi and "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. In this episode, they provide spoiler-free background insights into both captivating series, exploring the dystopian landscapes and compelling characters that have captured their 10-year old (and now 24-year old) imaginations. Join the girls as they pit these two beloved series against each other to determine which one reigns supreme.   Speaking of the 2010s, remember when we all downloaded instagram for the first time and followed anyone within a 10 mile radius? Karly & Mia recently hit a wall and unleashed an Instagram following purge. The girls are ready to rant about how to feel empowered to hit that unfollow button with no second thoughts. If you need any convincing to clear out your following, Karly seriously envisioned her villain arc movie montage and Mia was quite literally giggling and kicking her feet in the aftermath. But actually though, the endless scroll of perfection and supply of engagement pics is exhausting, and no one has time for that in 2024. Happy reading besties!

There's a book about Billie Jean King that's mostly about tennis but there is a reference to being married to another woman. Someone has a problem with this because they didn't watch "My Two Dads" starring Paul Reiser on Sunday nights back in middle school! Also, save the turtles, drone wars, and ballsacksofinstagram.

We’re continuing our discussion of Justina Ireland’s High Republic novel, Out of the Shadows! This time, we talk about the worldbuilding within this book and for this era of Star Wars, how the average galactic resident views the Jedi Order, and, as always, how much Stellan Gios sucks.

How much has the digital revolution changed the publishing industry?'Book Wars' by John B. Thompson is an overview of how the internet and digitisation of books changed the publishing industry. It mostly covers the 2005-2018 period when Ebooks started gain popularity and momentum. It goes into extreme depth so be prepared to read through a lot of history, which makes it a comprehensive book. I quite enjoyed it for the unexpected outcomes that ran counter to intuition but also found it tedious at times to keep going through.Only one boostagram from Brian D O'Leary this week (which is very much appreciated). You are actually making a sad puppy :'( But I do appreciate the comments on the YT channel.Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(2:15) - Initial Impression(3:26) - Plot/Style(6:06) - Quote 1(8:33) - Themes/Questions(15:07) - Quote 2(22:55) - Author & Extras(26:34) - Quote 3(30:04) - Summary(34:22) - Boostagram Lounge(36:52) - Value 4 ValueValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastConnect With Cole McCormick (Voice Actor):Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/colemccormick1Podcast: https://fountain.fm/show/6705669

You’ve heard about library book bans in Texas, but behind the scenes there is a campaign underway to prosecute librarians for putting certain books on the shelves of school and public libraries. After four decades, Texas politician Ben Barnes comes clean about his role, and that of former Texas Gov. John Connally, to delay the […]

In 2019, a group of librarians (quietly) stormed the offices of a major publisher, Macmillan, to protest a controversial policy on e-books. On this show, how a tiny change - a book on a screen - threw an industry into war with itself.Subscribe to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoneya

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul's writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. In this Part 35 I continue our study in this Matthew 24. I share John 17 verse 1; Rev. 22 verse 18; 2 Chronicles 7 verses 12-14I go into a rant over the Covid issue, Catholic and the Pope, The New Agreement BibleThe apostle John received revelation relating to the Daniel 9:27 prophecy: Satan and his demonic angels will be cast down from their heavenly realm to the earth in the middle of the seven-year Tribulation (Rev. 12:7–9). This action will infuriate Satan. Knowing his time is growing short, he will begin wrathful desolation (Rev. 12:12). Then he apparently will take possession of Antichrist and prompt him to stop Israel's reinstated Old Testament worship. He will seize the Temple, set himself up as Yahweh in that place, and demand to be worshiped as Yahweh. Because Satan desires to be worshiped as Yahweh (Isa. 14:12–14), he will receive that worship by proxy through his Antichrist (see Rev. 13:4). Once this blasphemous worship begins, Antichrist will be empowered to continue for 42 months (Rev. 13:5; cf. Dan. 7:25).Yahweh will not crush Satan and establish His Millennial Kingdom on Earth until Israel repents and experiences a national reconciliation with Yahweh (Zech. 12—14; Acts 3:12–21). Thus Satan attempts to destroy Israel beforehand so that Yahweh will not crush him.The word translated “tribulation” refers to “distress” and was used to describe birth pangs. The word translated “great” emphasizes the “intensity” of the distress.Earlier in His discourse (vv. 4–8), Yahshua indicated the first half of the Tribulation will be characterized by “the beginning of sorrows” (literally, “birth pangs”). The concept of “great” distress in verse 21 means the second half will be characterized by the intense, hard-labor birth pangs. The Greek text reveals that Yahshua used a double negative to emphasize the impossibility of any other time equaling the intense distress of that time.Could Yahshua Messiah be making reference to what Josephus writes in his Book Wars of the Jews Book 2 Chapter 13 Section 4? There was also another body of wicked men gotten together, not so impure in their actions, but more wicked in their intentions, which laid waste the happy state of the city no less than did these murderers. These were such men as deceived and deluded the people under pretense of Divine inspiration, but were for procuring innovations and changes of the government; and these prevailed with the multitude to act like madmen, and went before them into the wilderness, as pretending that God would there show them the signals of liberty. But Felix thought this procedure was to be the beginning of a revolt; so he sent some horsemen and footmen both armed, who destroyed a great number of them.And then we read in Section 5: But there was an Egyptian false prophet that did the Jews more mischief than the former; for he was a cheat, and pretended to be a prophet also, and got together thirty thousand men that were deluded by him; these he led round about from the wilderness to the mount which was called the Mount of Olives, and was ready to break into Jerusalem by force from that place; and if he could but once conquer the Roman garrison and the people, he intended to domineer over them by the assistance of those guards of his that were to break into the city with him. Have any questions?

After returning to his Ashaninka roots, Edwin Chota fights illegal logging in the Amazon community of Saweto until he is shot to death by timber traffickers. Máxima Acuña, a farmer and shepherd from the Andes of Cajamarca, is reluctant to abandon what she considers her property despite the presence of the Conga mining project, which seeks to extract gold on the same boundaries. Eleven-year-old Osman Cuñachí appears bathed in oil in a photo that travels the world and reports on the spill that contaminated the Nazareth community and the river where the Awajún swam and fished. Written with journalistic rigor and literary pulse, these chronicles by Joseph Zárate - awarded the 2016 Ortega y Gasset Prize and the 2018 Gabriel García Márquez Prize - not only seek to denounce the social, economic, political and environmental wars that explode in the interior of Peru . They also illuminate the personal, psychological and emotional wars of men and women who, due to different circumstances, decide to defend and conserve their lands, customs and identities. What are we capable of doing - as individuals, as a society - in the name of what we call "progress"? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

John Brookshire Thompson is a British sociologist,  a professor at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Jesus College. His work over the past two decades has focused particularly on the publishing industry. Books in the Digital Age: The Transformation of Academic and Higher Education Publishing in Britain and the United States (Polity, 2005) presents an analysis of higher education publishing from 1980 to 2005. Much of the analysis is based on industry interviews made on condition of anonymity. His Merchants of Culture (Polity, 2009) covers in a similar way, the entire publishing and bookselling industry from the 1960s to 2008.    We talk here about his latest book Book Wars: The Digital Revolution in Publishing (Polity, 2021) which tells the story of book publishing's wild ride over the past decade - the surge of e-books, the self-publishing explosion and the growing popularity of audiobooks - plus successful and failed attempts to create new businesses in this space. It's a comprehensive, dense (in a good way) human read; and, if you love books as I do, an extremely entertaining way to spend 15 hours or so. 

Today I talked to John Thompson, Emeritus Professor, Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, about his new book Book Wars: The Digital Revolution in Publishing (Polity, 2021). We discuss crowdfunding, audio books, distribution chains, social media, self-publishing, ebooks, Amazon, retail, and oh, also those things that are made of paper and glued together and have words printed in them. Interviewer: "One of the real eye-openers for me in the book was the distance, historically speaking, between readers and publishers. Now, as I think about it, and as I compare what a company like Amazon does to what traditional publishers do, well, I begin to notice that publishers are on the side of authors and content and that publishers have an obligation, even, on that side." John Thompson: "Yes, they have an obligation to authors. Publishers are good and professional at developing content. And if they're good publishers, they have a well thought-through and sophisticated marketing and publicity operation that helps to create visibility for books. But on this last point alone–––making books known to others–––the opportunity created by the digital revolution is not just that you make books visible by using traditional media like advertising in the newspaper, but that you are able to reach out directly to readers and consumers and make your books visible to them directly, in much the way that Amazon does when they send an email blast to an Amazon user that says, 'You might be interested in this book.' But why can't publishers do that themselves? Now, thanks to the digital revolution, the opportunity is created for publishers to develop relationships with readers, and to do so at scale. It simply wasn't possible, prior to the digital revolution and prior to the Internet. But now it is. And so that is a huge transformation that publishers are beginning to avail themselves of and which will, I think, continue to change the industry."
