(And another one.) No preamble: today we revisit the great Jessica Watkins and her heartbreaking story. Y’know what, maybe we should thank Shane Gillis for making us revisit this discussion.

Also, Keith still has the best refrigerator contents in the game.
4001: ARCADE.gov and ReadersMagnet w/ Andrea Allan
Just today, Keith got a spam call from ReadersMagnet, a scam company trying to take advantage of independent authors.
