"I could make you into a vampire," the monster whispered.

"Living forever? After the twenty years I've lived? That's a curse!"

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
