Midnight. A light flickers on in the darkness. Coils of smoke hang in the projector's glow. The movie is about to begin, and the theater waits in breathless silence.
BLACK FLAME is finally here. You can get it at the link below, and wherever books are sold.

What a statement of not just total indifference to but antagonism toward the suffering of millions of people around the world.

Please help my friend Sama'a and her family prepare for Ramadan. What should be an occasion for joy and reflection is now a reminder of constant hardship.

Because it's made by dead-eyed morons who understand nothing, believe in nothing, bring no beauty to the world, have no capacity for reflection, and immiserate our collective existence with every hateful sentence they squirt out of their wet, waxy mouths. NEXT.

David Brooks laments that literary fiction has been declining in quality, because of its supposed progressivism and "a general loss in confidence and audacity across Western culture." To this, @reproutopia.bsky.social @publicbooks.bsky.social simply asks: "Is the cissexual literary world okay?"

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

If I hear one more iteration of "there won't be historians in a hundred years" I'm going to headbutt someone. I know every generation feels like the world ends with them, but take it from a historian: it doesn't.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"
