it me, the guy whose blog is dedicated to art outside of capitalism, the guy who always talks about being check to check, the guy who loves libraries, and the guy who absolutely thinks the poor should never read a book 🙄

I would not personally trust my book to a press whose founder is saying it’s okay to pirate books

I would use the entire might of the U.S. military for exactly one thing before disbanding it:

force Paramount to issue apologies to Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, triple their salaries, and make the SCREAM 7 we deserve
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

STAY READY CHICAGO

get a whistle, organize at yr schools and workplaces

winter is time to stay vigilant but also strategize
a lot of interesting tidbits in this story about rep. lauren underwood’s visit to the broadview ice jail.

as always, take everything dhs says with a grain of salt. but it sounds like the feds’ terror in chicago is far from over.
