Not sure what the guy driving around my hood in a convertible Mustang with the top down and no hat, gloves or coat in -30C weather is trying to prove. Maybe he enjoys ear infections.

Tom and I (and many others) got totally fucked by the same publisher.
I have 88k followers here, and if every one of you bought a book, those royalties would pretty much add up to what they owe me.
Related great news: my books & cards will be back in UK & EU stores next month.

AND THIS is why it was so gross to make cishet men the faces of the Heated Rivalry craze. The queer community has largely feared this milkshake duck was coming, but straight women want so badly to believe in a better version of men, they’ll center & believe them every time.
Empty Netters host called Heated Rivalry 'trash,' producers 'losers' - Outsports
As he publicly praised 'Heated Rivalry,' one 'Empty Netters' host privately trashed the show. Outsports has seen the texts.

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

As I witnessed shadowing a delivery person for a night, there is a real dehumanized disconnect. As if it’s all tech no flesh.
I dunno who else needs to hear this, but avoid ordering in DoorDash, Skip, UberEats, etc. today. Your drivers are gonna be unsafe and your food is gonna be extra cold.
