There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'

Oh wait, no: got a lengthy, whiny e-mail at 3am explaining that this poor widdle company can't pay us authors what we're owed like it said it would because it still isn't financially viable and btw the selfless executives have all been heroically working unpaid so please don't be mean uwu.
Just wanted to update this because I think it's important to report honestly on the demise of Unbound: I have been told by Boundless I will be paid what I'm owed over a number of installments in the coming months. Which is probably the most transparency I've had since day one tbh.
Yeah, I'm owed something from a translated version of the Small Robots book for Taiwan, of all places. No idea how or even if it was selling, but I had some correspondence with the very kind and enthusiastic translator and there was a (modest) advance involved. I assume I won't see that now.

Gonna burn some bridges and talk about Unbound, since it's unlikely that they'll sue me at this point. They seem to have spent money that was supposed to go towards royalty payments, expecting money to come in, which then didn't bsky.app/profile/laur...

The TLDR as I understand - the company expected an incoming investment for a magazine project, took money out the author royalties account to pre spend the investment, the investment fell through, author money can't be repaid by investment.
That's my good faith understanding of those events.
