If I was Godzilla I would be in a better mood because I’d be so big the whole world would look like a scale model and I’ve never been in a bad mood when looking at small, detailed objects.

gotta love how contemporary publishing is 30000000 beautiful, deeply felt, finely crafted books with 7.5 readers each whose authors are just barely making a living, and like 4 books that financially support the whole apparatus, each of which has comprehensively and unforgivably destroyed society

I also want to point out that Vance's whole "professors are the enemy" schtick came after he profited enormously from universities. Nowhere was "Hillbilly Elegy" pushed more than on college campuses. He cashed in with six figure speaking fees to talk about Appalachian poverty.

I know we know about JD Vance, but he's also working to make divorces harder to obtain, and says that people in "violent" marriages should stay married and not get divorced. So.

"Why can't the people who want to re-elect the current President just get along with those who want to re-elect a convicted criminal as a virtual dictator to implement a published plan to strip numerous people of their rights while shoring up an oligarchic white Christian ethnostate?"

President Biden on Sunday urged Americans to unify in the wake of an assassination attempt against his opponent Donald Trump, calling on the country to “lower the temperature in our politics” amid a tumultuous presidential campaign in a time of division and anger.

‘It’s time to cool it down’: Biden urges unity following Trump shootingwww.washingtonpost.com In Oval Office address, Biden says political rhetoric has become too heated and “violence is never the answer”

Biden has done 3 live tv appearences related to the shooting since where he calls for unity. Trump has disappeared and done nothing. The resulting press coverage is covering an imaginary version of Trump as if he had said unity stuff. Like literally they are making up a fake guy to praise.

I have never read anything more credulous than Axios’s thing about Trump this morning. Like…

Democrats are, as always, the main thing in the way of the Democrats. 🤦

Amazing. Trump sent off a mob to go murder his VP, and this did nothing to deter either him or the Republican Party. But the Democrats are just giving up because a registered *Republican* tried to assassinate Trump for some reason. “Gutless” barely begins to cover it.

Creator pro-tip: If you want other publishers or companies to work with you, make an email address easy to find SOMEWHERE. Even a contact form is better than nothing. Social media DMs are NOT a replacement.

Clarence Thomas took $267,000 from a health insurance executive, then issued rulings that made health insurance companies more money, while harming millions of Americans. This is a bribe. This isn’t complicated. Expand the Supreme Court.
