The correct response to an accidental early release of a physical book is not to hurl epithets and threats at the author because the e-books were not also released early. As hard as it may be to believe, there are worse things than waiting a couple of weeks for a book, like being the sort of person who would react to an accidental early release of a physical book by hurling epithets and threats at the author because the e-books were not also released early.

Here is a list of some of the things we do not know about the Robocon scandal (for those just joining us, the use of live or automated “robocalls” to harass or deceive — con — voters in certain ridings during the last election). We do not know whether the calls were made by members of the Conservative party. We do not know whether any Conservative authorized them, or even knew about them. We do not know whether anyone was prevented from voting, or had their vote changed, as a result, nor do we know whether the results of any riding were affected.

But my God, what we know is disturbing enough.
