A lifetime of reading dystopian scifi has prepared me for how bad things will get, but unfortunately none of the cool shit that would allow me to deal with it better arrived. Cyberspace sucks, none of the drugs let me play Perky Pat. Where's my nanofiber garotte, cyber impants, & scrambler suit?

Also: I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Publishing, let me write a media literacy book, I am begging you. I keep being told that there's no appetite for this...
But how can there NOT be, when it's an urgent and pressing issue, especially with how we aggregate news + use of AI?

"The king can only scream and curse
The minister can only fill his purse
The people go from bad to worse
So what are you fighting for"

Can't imagine why that's relevant at this moment... seriously though, see this movie

Well, the asshole got his war. Along with the rest of the morally bankrupt GOP. I'm sure Schumer is crafting a sternly worded email though so it'll all be fine.

Trump's invasion of Venezuela is not fundamentally different from the 200+ years of fuckery the US has committed in central & South America and the Caribbean, at least as far back as the Monroe Doctrine. It's not enough to remove him, we have to fundamentally remake this country

One 2025 movie everyone should absolutely see is Richard Ledes' V13. Taking place in Vienna 1913, with a very young Hitler and an older Freud vying for the soul of a young man. Daringly shot and acted w/Alan Cummings turning in a career-best performance as Freud. www.richardledes.com/film/v13

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I think I'm gonna come in at reading 24 books, plus about half of Robert Alter's Hebrew Bible+commentary, a few hundred pages of some other books I started but didn't finish.
Finished a novel this year and started querying it.
Started writing a new novel.

Not feeling the holiday spirit? The usual movies not working? May I suggest:
City of Lost Children - Caro & Jeunet serve up a delightfully dark story that takes place in a rundown mean seaside town. Orphans fight it out with cyborgs, there's a brain in a jar, Ron Perlman is the straight man /1

NEW: The request to ‘pretermit’ is an effort to toss a person’s asylum claim, leaving them defenseless against deportation to a country they are not from and may have never even entered before: Honduras, Ecuador and Uganda.
