I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Drill baby drill does not sound like a path to getting toxins out of the environment but what do I know.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

I am choosing to keep this essay permanently unpaywalled. It's about the general idea of people reaching their artistic peak later in life, and the amazing art my parents have been producing in their 60s and 70s (much of which has made its way into my books): tomcox.substack.com/p/the-magic-...

It’s been a wet autumn: the kind of wet that, at times, has looked and felt not unlike a trailer for apocalypse.

Yep. Hit ‘em in the wallet.
All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it.

A source sent me a copy of one of the anti-"gender ideology" memos being shared among federal departments today. This was sent to the Department of Health and Human Services. They have a 5PM deadline to take down "all outward facing media... that inculcate or promote gender ideology."

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

This is it by the way. This is the last exit on the highway before we have to wait for some other country's newspapers or history books to tell us of the atrocities we allowed to happen.

Totally forgotten subplot of the first Trump administration: British fascists coming to the US, going full mask off, and forgetting there would be consequences back home. Good stuff.
