it’s very easy to say “liberals aren’t on our side/they’re brainwashed by cop
shows” or something, but then you basically have no allies and can’t win. there is no mass of pure uneducated workers yearning for brilliant marxist grad students to descend from on high and tell them what to think

so many of our current problems stem from americans not being able to comprehend that a guy they know from tv might actually be stupid

damn straight!!
You know what’s ripe for a comeback is the Wolves of Willoughby Chase series by Joan Aiken. Smart & non-condescending YA, fantastical without being fantasy, dark and Dickensian as hell, extremely lefty and anticapitalist, a full dozen sequels, amazing Edward Gorey covers.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I won't die on a hill over this, because it's not even arguable enough to count as an anthill:

There is NO SUCH THING as a "Very Good" "former library book".

That is all.

A lot of folks view their vote as a little gift they give to a politician who catches their fancy, rather than an act of collective action on behalf of the less fortunate. You are not giving out a rose on The Bachelor, you're acting in solidarity with millions of other people.
"we don't owe anybody our vote"

you don't owe *politicians* your support, but you have moral obligations to other people that entail trying to avoid their death or oppression
new episode! - i'm against abstention threats*, but is trying to wrangle the online left a fool's errand?

if your soothsayer soothsaid that fawn hall was going to get married to oliver north this year, hold onto her! she is the genuine article.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories but my god how the matrix is glitching
an exact text I sent earlier when somebody asked how I was doing today:

"Oliver North married Fawn Hall last month after they reconnected at his wife's funeral in December and I've been Julia Sugarbaker and Mary Jo Shively about it all day"

it's like they're willing themselves to believe that the entire public is extravagantly stupid.
The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

REASON #4 to get the new EVEN STEVEN book:
LEE ALLRED (FF, Bug) and @stevelieberart.bsky.social (Jimmy Olsen, Metamorpho) starts with the insane, and then their story goes *totally* insane!
First panel: here.
Rest of the story: in the book.
