<p>Here is an essay by John <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gruber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gruber</span></a></span> discussing political language while taking down a memo about Minneapolis by Tim Cook of <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a>—however, I am citing it as noteworthy for <a href="/tags/writers/" rel="tag">#writers</a> and <a href="/tags/authors/" rel="tag">#authors</a>. Specific colorful evocative language that leads to readers (or the audience for a speech) to seeing, feeling, even smelling smoke or sweat in a situation, possibly even the fear, is essential and critical to telling a story, or to making an argument. This article is worth your time to read.</p><p><a href="https://daringfireball.net/2026/01/politics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="daringfireball.net/2026/01/politics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">daringfireball.net/2026/01/pol</span><span class="invisible">itics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/boostingissharing/" rel="tag">#BoostingIsSharing</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/writer/" rel="tag">#writer</a> <a href="/tags/writersofmastodon/" rel="tag">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/writingcommunity/" rel="tag">#writingCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/timcook/" rel="tag">#TimCook</a></p>

<p>As much as I apporve of this creativity. If you have a book you don't want (I know but it could happen, theoretically) give it to a thriftstore, that's where I get most of my books 😁 </p><p>@libraries @librarians @bookbubble @bookstodon<br>@bookbubble </p><p><a href="/tags/book/" rel="tag">#Book</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookmemes/" rel="tag">#BookMemes</a><br><a href="/tags/library/" rel="tag">#Library</a> <a href="/tags/librarymemes/" rel="tag">#LibraryMemes</a> <a href="/tags/memes/" rel="tag">#Memes</a> <a href="/tags/libraries/" rel="tag">#Libraries</a> <a href="/tags/librarians/" rel="tag">#Librarians</a> <a href="/tags/humor/" rel="tag">#Humor</a> <a href="/tags/humour/" rel="tag">#Humour</a><br><a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/bookworm/" rel="tag">#Bookworm</a> <a href="/tags/bookwyrm/" rel="tag">#Bookwyrm</a> <a href="/tags/booklove/" rel="tag">#BookLove</a> <a href="/tags/boostingissharing/" rel="tag">#BoostingIsSharing</a></p>
