News
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. Things are humming along nicely in the territory. I was too busy to really delve into @denlillaapan’s book review when it was first posted, but man, am I excited to read “Everybody Loves Our Dollars” now. I’m a sucker for anything involving money laundering. @plebpoet’s new blog “Do Ya Like Art?”, hit the ground running with the first two entries cracking this week’s top five. Damn, it’s good. I’m looking forward to more. There was plenty of good content even beyond the top five. It’s easy to pick out suggestions when you get this many quality posts.
I hope you all have a good week.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 9:00am every Saturday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
