News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the newly named Books & Articles Weekly. The name change isn’t a big deal, but I think it will better reflect changes I want to make to this post. I’m working on ideas, and I’ll likely make a post to get ideas and suggestions from stackers. I want to incentivize original work with sats, written specifically for SN, and published here first. I think I will probably start with zapping the top 5 posts. so long as the content has not already been published elsewhere. I have some other ideas too.
This week’s top posts don’t have many surprises. @denlillaapan once again won top honors with his post about Vaclav Smil. I confess I had never heard of this gentleman before, so I’m trying to make up for lost time. @south_korea_ln, and@plebpoet also had very good submissions that made the top 5.
Reminder: For the time being I will zap the top posts half the rewards I receive about twenty four hours after the post, rather than split zaps into cowboy credits. I have forgotten until later in the week to zap the top post two weeks in a row. I apologize, and I won’t be offended by a gentle reminder.
Happy reading!
.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

@denlillaapan cheats though. He uses his brain and it's an unfair advantage. I support lobotomization to even the playing field.
That seems drastic. How about he just has to take a few shots of whiskey before writing?
I'm game!
Spelling might get worse, but ideas crazier
I love crazy ideas! Maybe we should start with the whiskey
Drastic problems call for drastic solutions. Our mental disparity is way more than a few shots. We have to remove part of his brain.
I take your point, but we still want him at full strength when he has to take on the bad guys outside of SN.
How about this: half the sats earned on each post have to go into shots that are consumed right before his next post?
Better idea. We remove part of his brain and then I eat it. Then we will both be as smart as a regular person.
This is true.
I'm privileged...gotta nerf that shit
At least you're humble, but the mental midgets like me still have to be careful to not get squashed by you giants.
Thanks for the newsletter. It's quite long already but serving the purpose.
The NYM is @Carresan there, I guess.
I'm confused. Are you and carresan the same supposed human?
Haha, NO.
It's just lined up above to my story and I just noticed @carreson and clicked to get "404".
haha I can confirm we are two different humans... and as she mentioned is @Carresan instead of Carreson. I did not correct it earlier as the link to my post is the right one.
