"It Can't Happen Here" is a 1935 dystopian novel by Sinclair Lewis that explores the rise of a fascist leader, Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, in a fictionalized version of the United States. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy and the potential for authoritarianism to take hold in America.

The problem is that Trump has so backed the U.S. economy into a corner that China recognizes that if they shut down data center construction they shut down the country. It's pathological to give another country this much leverage over your affairs.

While writing for Marvel Comics, I invented Cabbage, a green version of Carnage who turns his hands into salad spinners instead of cool knives. The company sued me for six years of back pay, and I have security camera footage if editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski planting a car bomb under my Nissan Leaf.
