You know, I'm extremely angry about what happened to Leslie. This was the last tweet he wrote before he died. This is such a fucked up, selfish society that we've normalized mass infection, stigmatized public health, and put disabled people through hell. Things didn't have to be this way.

I see the Donald has dropped into his odd time machine gain to suggest JP Morgan had email contact with Epstein - you know, like when he said he'd heard Frederick Douglass was "doing great things" and it spawned the novel "Remember Bowling Green," (royalties to the aclu) books2read.com/u/m202Q7

Eggers’ Nosferatu is like they made a vampire movie out of the RFK Jr. sexting affair with Olivia Nuzzi.

What if we sent RFK in to profile Bernstein next?
Olivia Nuzzi got sent in to do a profile but it turned out she wanted to fuck the subject so we sent in Jacob Bernstein to profile her and it turns out he also wants to fuck the subject

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Still remember how I, a Douglas Adams fan, was walking through North London not long after starting drama school and, on seeing the Hotblack Desiato letting agency, just laughing my butt off because of course

I mean, Jirel tells me what to write but the rest of you? Get going!!
115) Do not wait for Conan to write your adventure for you.

There is a story that Conan hovered over Robert E. Howard's shoulder and told him what to write, narrated his adventures. This is a fiction. Howard wrote, rewrote, submitted, got rejected, and wrote again.

Don't wait. Get writing.

Do you remember that brief couple of days where it was deemed utterly unacceptable antisemitism to suggest Israel would ever attack a hospital, that then turned into a year of the media telling us Palestinian hospitals were all secret command bases actually?
I don’t see a need to reiterate what I’ve spoken about repeatedly and what we all saw in real time, but I will say: every media outlet fell over themselves to repeat clearly insane claims from the Israeli government and coordinated bullying to toe the line was instant, harsh and extremely intense.

Started Desolation Angels & I really have psychically assimilated @nmamatas.bsky.social’s Move Under Ground because when the foreword tsk-tsks about Kerouac’s alcoholic decline I think, “Don’t you realize this man sacrificed everything fighting against the Great Old Ones? Leave him alone.”

“You all know how grateful I am to all of you and to everyone’s families,” he said. “The sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could ever ask for. So, I just want to say cheers to the strikers. Cheers to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh."

Jeffrey Epstein's sub-literacy is what makes Bill Barr's father's decision to hire him to teach at the prestigious Dalton School (even though Epstein didn't have a college degree) all the more odd.

Some quick math tells me that should be about $4 per sold book donated, and depending on region $1 to a food bank is $7-10 worth of food. So $28-40 groceries per book sold. Not too shabby, plus you get a book (and also help feed me and contributors).

Bakunin wrote about this very thing!

"Does it follow that I reject all authority? Far from me such a thought. In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker; concerning houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or the engineer.
So there is an issue with authority.

Authority that arises from experience, character, and skill seems to me to be different than authority by hierarchy, force, or status.

Thoughts?
