I've seen spin that this was Dems giving payback for voting against party lines. No doubt votes were result of threats that were then acted on anyway

And I don't know THAT one! Also Hoban faves of mine: The sequel, A Near Thing For Captain Najork, and Trouble on Thunder Mountain. Oh and Riddley Walker, though the six year old won't appreciate it.

I had so much hope for the "Vampire Squid" guy. It's really disappointing. At least the movie "Grabbers" is hilarious.

I'll also add that I'm a reader, not a writer, and mainly follow free-tier content

I have huge respect for you and other writers taking this stance, but as someone with limited time, resources, and attention, I feel like I don't have the cycles to maintain purity like that. "No ethical consumption under capitalism" , etc

It's not just liberals. Even some on the left basically believe the same thing, that conservatives are somehow more real and authentic and if we could just reach them...
There is *a lot* of propaganda behind this to cover up the obvious truth: these are evil people with irredeemably evil beliefs.

There is only one thing that will stop fascists: physically preventing them from getting to their victims. No other activity will have any effect. Once they have begun to persecute innocent people, their desire for blood will make them keep going for as long as they are physically able to. /12

We have got to figure out a way to break the cycle of “humans find ways to prevent bad things from happening, bad things stop happening for so long that humans forget they’re possible and remove the mechanisms of prevention, and bad things start happening again”

My daughter, a recent college grad with a TON of programming skills, has just finished a pre-apprenticeship program in the trades. Hoping fervently that she gets into a union with health care benefits.

I get the objections about Substack, and why Ghost is better for authors, but where is Ghost for readers? I can go to my Substack account and there's an ecosystem: feeds, interactions, discovery of new content. I can't figure out how to do that with Ghost.
