Richard Spencer said the quiet part out loud:
“White privilege is wonderful. I want to expand and deepen white privilege.”
He’s not confessing — he’s recruiting. This isn’t satire. It’s strategy.

For some reason, people feel compelled to signify that Black people aren't doing enough during ICE raids.
We are actively not being arrested when we can. Why?
Been there. Done that.
In my essay: I told you to keep you Black ass at home. I meant it. I still do.

Subscriptions = Enshittification.
If they go that route, then this is the last version of the program I will ever own.
I came to them to avoid Adobe and their monthly subscription bullshit.
I enjoyed the hell out of them for the three or four years I have used them.
Nothing good lasts.

RECRUITMENT DRIVE: #ICE
Insecure with your masculinity?

Too ugly to show your face?
Join ICE. There are no standards!
ICE: We're #feckless pussies.
Be one of the most reviled Americans alive.
ICE is taking back America one deported US citizen at a time.

ICE is a festering pit of evil where men indulge their darkest passions in the light of day without fear or censure.
What monstrous mortals could arrive unchanged by their opportunity for depravity?
Be afraid. He walks among them, a Pale Rider, waiting for a moment of willingness not weakness.

And of course, some super-genius or highly privileged individual will come here and say:
“It's like that for me. I can create as easy as drawing a breath. I wrote three novels this year, each becoming a best selling publication.”
From where I sit, under a mountain of stress, it is hard work.

Why do people think creativity is like turning on a light and BANG, you have something new, interesting and able to be sold? I try to explain this to my beloved wife:
“Every meaningful act of creativity is the sum of thousands of quiet decisions, risks, revisions, and mostly failures.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is currently Secretary of Health and Human Services.
He was an environmental lawyer turned anti-vaccine activist. He spreads misinformation that undermines public trust in science and public health institutions, making America less safe in the face of real health threats.

We've kept a log of the challenges of this journey which has taken us from peritoneal dialysis at home, in our personal clean room, to hemodialysis at the local clinic.
Each came with their own challenges and benefits. We thought the battle would be over when the kidney arrived...

I also know genre is a moving target. What one scholar calls 'fantasy with spaceships,' another calls 'hard sci-fi.'
So I don’t pretend this view is universal, only reasoned. I’ve laid out the distinctions as I see them. If others choose to collapse them through differing philosophy, so be it.
