People are taking “fake it til you make it” waaay too far, wow. We need a new adage like “learn it until you make it” or something.
Blocked someone who told me they intended to pirate my work because they can't get it exactly where and how they want. Maybe they will, but they're an asshole to go out of their way to tell a creator that, and I'm not tolerating assholes on this site. It's easy not to be an asshole, y'all.

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.
I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare

Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
