AVAILABLE WORKS: I intend to use this thread as a shopping guide for my works, and sub-link within them. I am working with a lovely group of people to help-produce low-cost paperback and omnibus editions, and I am not a fan of several of the distributors available. Some may be out of print.

It's always amusing when people literally can't perceive your meaning because they've cast you as a villain, deluded, ill-informed or whatever narrative you've been assigned.
It's one of the easiest ways to exploit power.
It assumes the person you've cast in that role cares about your view, though

The Constitution stipulates that the census counts the entire population, not just citizens. But Trump has an intense disregard for the Constitution.

As Europe has faced refugees and the USA has threatened them, Europe has gotten better to live in and the USA worse.
ICE crackdowns are leading to American people of means fleeing to Europe... disproportionately white males.
The white supremacist American government is causing "white flight."

Perhaps I missed the part in §274a.14 that lets random enforcement officers destroy employment authorization documents.

Anyone who says, concerning the sexual abuse of teenagers, "She's 16. It's not like she's four," needs to be banished from polite society forever. Not like, "can't write for the Atlantic anymore" banished, but like, "can't safely get dinner at an Applebee's" banished
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

Folks really need to learn that "the organised, militant anti-trans hate movement is a construct of the ruling class" is not the same statement as "every working class person everywhere is a flawless trans ally", and pretending that it is is actively harmful.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

I'm constantly amazed that not everyone knows it's not Mars for Bezos and Musk, its destabilized Earth..
He does not actually want to go to Mars. All of his habitat research for *after* going to Mars would fail on Mars. Most of the tech is old stuff that would require a different Mars.
They would, however, work PERFECTLY on a planet Earth with a completely destabilized climate.
