I was thinking about how Wizard of Oz is to America what Lord of the Rings is to Britain and it made me realize that Over the Garden Wall follows the Oz legacy, and that’s part of why it’s so good. Can anyone think of other fantasy stories that are Oz-esque?

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Thank you, Gamecat!!! I'm on my way to check out Ecstasy Club now.
I think that Jeff Noon’s blurb was deeply accurate. My own rough take on a short review is below.
It was a *fun* read, and the shifting, not Deja vu, but unreliable memory vibe in the final act, kept me on my toes until the end, and stuck with me afterward as well.
Well effing done.

Right? If you're still on "X" in any capacity, shut down your account. Stop being part of the problem already.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.
![CRESTRICTED]
ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreigaks7wgy4rvmszhobeed7hlaqap4mynkhqketipzolmesislssci@jpeg)
