So in Claremore, OK people are being arrested for speaking out against AI data centers and meanwhile no one is being arrested for being in the Epstein files. The elite and ultra-rich seem to be above the law under this administration. We truly are living in the upside down.🤦🤷

In England, they arrested a former prince for being in the Epstein files, while here in America, a president who was in the Epstein files a million times, including for punching a 13-year-old in the face for biting his penis, wants his face to be on Mount Rushmore and have an airport named after him

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Reading Marco Rubio’s speech about how “western civilization” is about embracing God, rejecting the foolish ideal of cosmopolitanism, and celebrating the genius of bands like The Beatles who were founded by the guy who wrote that song about a world with no countries or the concept of heaven & hell.

For the love of all that's holy, if you can't write a eulogy, just leave someone else. Grief isn't something you can delegate. I know we'd all like to feel less of it, but feeling it is also a function of having loved.

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest.
We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.
