A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Republican politicians and the media oligarchs who fund them regularly distort reality to further their agenda, and half of the Senate Democratic caucus won’t even try to acknowledge — let alone correct — the distortion.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

I have a new short story out today in Blue Mesa Review. It’s a retelling of the “One-Handed Murderer.” Although this folktale was written a long time ago, we are still writing about the same shit. But I hope we can change how we tell the story. I’d so appreciate it if you’d take the time to read:

Two days ago we at @roomy.space had an interesting epiphany: Roomy's server wasn't just another off-protocol server or AppView, it was it's own kind of PDS with similar advantages of data ownership.
This opened up a different way of thinking about services similar to Roomy and they might co-exist.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant
By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Casey Reiland explains how the man the river witch had been fantasizing killing for days arrives at her door, setting of a series of unstoppable events, today at Villain Era!
The Hex Hollow Murders as Told by the River Witch of Marietta, Pennsylvania, 1928 by Casey Reiland
Warlocks and the black arts, hexes and pow-wows have been neglected by a race of modern rustics who, when their crops are bad or their pigs perish, appeal to the U.S. government. City people, who supposed that the last U.S. beldame had long since ridden up the wind and that the rattle of wild laughter in the autumn air had never been heard since Salem, were surprised to learn of the York witches.
