I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

There was some lady who I swear said that this dude was in bed with Project 2025. Everybody said she was fearmongering though. What was her name...? Not Cassandra but it’s close.

Trump: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut ... I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.

c @james.claims · 28d

Anyway watch the stocks of whoever has the patent of leucovorin go up after the announcement. That’s all this is. Promoting Leucovorin so adults force their kids to ingest it to “cure their autism”.

But what is Leucovorin and why are they claiming it cures autism? 👇

If you didn’t know, Mehmet Oz has a financial stake in the company iHerb which sells: folinic acid supplements (folinic acid = leucovorin)

The lies about Tylenol, autism, and this “treatment” are ALL part of their grift.

Anyway, don't give your child an unproven autism "cure" sold by a snake oil salesman. Stop trying to fix your autistic children. They aren't broken.

You can "honor" Kirk's memory by doing the thing he'd hate and donating to an organization that wants to help low-income trans adults receive gender affirming care:

It's always been like this, and it's because the elites are essentially self-preserving, and civility has always been the tool by which non-elites are condemned.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · Aug 28

I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time.

How We Brought Respectful Debate Back to The Harvard Crimson’s Editorial Board

To us, the solution is deceptively simple. Universities should create environments where students with different views must talk to one another routinely and establish ground rules that ensure they do so without distractions or prejudgment.

Illiberalism on college campuses isn’t inevitable. At The Crimson, it took only a few months to radically improve.

Much of the apparatus of fascism--surveillance, militarized cops, etc--uses how armed the American population is as an excuse why they need so much more.

Next week I get to onboard at my new gig AND have surgery. Rough, but the promise of flexible but steady income is THRILLING. Provided I make it through the end of August checkpoint AND can afford surgery and med costs. Current goal of at least $1395 of the remaining 18% of the campaign total.

Here in Colorado, legislators from both parties are trying to grant AI companies immunity from consumer protection lawsuits.

Like immunity for gun manufacturers.

Politicians will be bought off by all these tech bros as their products continue to kill us.
