You’re not a Marxist if you just don’t want to pay for stuff. There’s more to it than that.
We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

RIP legend Udo Kier. I just showed some pals Barb Wire (1996), where he plays “Curly,” the movie’s equivalent of SZ Sakall’s “Carl” in Casablanca, and he gave it everything he had, as he always did.

I've been skeptical about the stories of "BlueSky scolds" but the level of finger-wagging over people feeling a modicum of enjoyment re: the bonkers meeting between Trump and Mamdani...come on. It's not doing a bamboozle on us. You're not seeing the Real Truth we're blind to. We're just goofin'

Entirely true!!
I'm sick of this psyop that turkey sucks. I can only assume it derives from Big Ham. Oh, turkey is too dry? Learn how to brine properly, put some gravy on it, go for the dark meat. BuT iT's ToO bLaNd! Any protein can be too bland if you're balls at cooking it!
One side effect of half the world being in the throes of a fascist takeover is that comments like "turkey sucks" that used to lead to a 4 hour slapfight and approximately 135 blocks are now met with "well thats just like your opinion man" and thats progress

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

One of the reasons Hellboy 2 was no good 👇
Environmentalist in a movie: We want to save the Earth...
Protagonist: Sounds cool...
Environmentalist in a movie: ...by killing all the people AHAHA!
Protagonist: Oh now that's just too far.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling down, I stop and remind myself that season 4 of the CW’s “bras and torsos delivery service” show Riverdale was an elaborate send-up of The Secret History, and I don’t feel so alone anymore.

This is what integrity looks like. "Do it for all of us, or don't do it at all." Let's hope the folks who bought our legacy magazines are shamed into better behavior and we won't have to consider them scoundrels any longer.
Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
