A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title:
Who is Haunting The Library of Forbidden Tomes? 

Image: five panels showing characters in a gothic library 

22% - tormented souls, frozen between life and death (a ghost reading a book)
4% - dank, fetid horrors from the icy depths below (a black slug like creature with a single eyestalk reading a book)
15% - cold, lifeless bones possessed by a corrupt sorcery (a skeleton reading a book)
11% - frigid and malevolent ectoplasmic vapours (a shapeless apparition reading a book)
48% - regular readers happy to away from the heatwave
(A mother, small child and toddler in buggy, all reading books)

Today is a good day to remind folks about Land of Hope and Dreams: A Celebration of Dave Marsh’s Work and Vision. A number of Dave’s friends wanted to put together a symposium of discussions that would be in conversation with his brilliant work. (1/?)

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

For decades, Democrats did Republicans a favor no one thanked them for. They blocked cuts like this before red-state voters ever felt them. That era is over. This time the bill passed, and the pain must land on the cynical Republicans who voted for it.

Democrats told the left “vote blue no matter who,” and if we wanted to change things, to run for office. So the left does that, and this is the response.

Seeing Super Fuzz and Carbon Copy in quick succession was memorably awful even as a kid (I picked neither)… Fresh Horses is the only movie I’ve walked out of… but for the widest chasm between what I hoped for and what I got, it’s gotta be Halloween Ends.
