Even the murderer, the guy who ordered the journalist to be executed and dismembered with a bone saw, looks a bit embarassed for our American president.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Blows my mind that the writer of one of the finest experimental novels of recent years cannot find purchase with the UK's allegedly 'No one publishes the stuff we dare to!' indie publishing sector. Generic, humdrum, feelings-fodder trumps the technically advanced, poetucally astute always.
Attempting to rally myself and my agent into resending out an (edited, expanded) story collection. I would like my work to persist, even as the heat death of the planet nears. Like making a memento mori and throwing it in the smelter

And with 53% of respondents in the British Social Attitudes survey recording themselves as “no religion”, it’s hard to argue that we are a Christian country. The country is what it is now; not what it was 100 years ago.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
