I don’t think the MAGAt demographic is a big book market in general. So yeah, her campaign will buy them all and she’ll get the royalties.
I've recently finished Silverlight, John le Carré's last (?) novel, published posthumously. Quite liked it, much like most of his writing.
It prompted me to revisit some of his earlier work, and come to find the Ricky Tarr character started the entire mole hunt that constituted the action in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Which gets me to the point of wondering what screen names mean. To me, to you, to friends, to strangers.
This isn't by way of asking anyone else who responds to dox themselves necessarily, but I am somewhat curious.
Is your screen name self-explanatory or patently obvious? Does it have any meaning to you or anyone else? Is it pulled out of a hat?

My account name, qurlyjoe, is in homage to Curly Joe of the three Stooges. The Q is because I used to name my hard disks in macOS, and for a while I had a series of Quadras at work. They were all named qurlyjoe. Before that I had a IIsi at home named siMon. “Human Kind, be both” I stole from my SiL’s email tag line.
Not usually a shill for commercial things, but I just noticed Criterion (the film channel) is offering 25% off their annual sub, think it ends tomorrow. (My wife loves old films so this ought to be a good gift)

NIN, where to begin? Everything is distilled rage, but Starfuckers, Inc. has a great video. Can you ID the blonde in the back of the car (an object of TR's anger from what I understand)? Adults only!
(How do you set CW? Never had to think about it before lol)
My wife spun up the Avatar sequel the other day, which got me thinking: did the actors have to give up the rights to their images, likenesses,voice, &c in perpetuity as part of their contracts there?
Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink, he began to hum a song
And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along
If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
For everyone who's ever been played, from Little Feat
(Also, have you even lived if you've never seen the band play this on the riverboat by New Orleans square in Disneyland?)
They're more well known for Music For a Found Harmonium, featured in I think Napoleon Dynamite?
We drove to downtown LA to see them in the 80s. They were completely unprepared for an enthusiastic American audience, and ended up with two encores of Music For a Found Harmonium.
