I had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed. All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.

By voting for him you have declared how little we have in common, how small our shared ground of agreement is, and how different the visions of this nation we share. And as much as it grieves me, I’m simply choosing to believe you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.
