Amazing series! I loved it. If you're a fan of fantasy martial arts, buy this book. $1.99 is a steal.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Trump and Hegseth are morally bankrupt monsters.

If you’re calling for civility in a time when fascism is overtaking the country then you are on the side of the fascists

I hate when my most dire instincts are correct. "The statistics are brutal. Fascist takeovers prevented after winning power democratically: zero. Average length of fascist rule once established: 31 years. Fascist regimes removed by voting: zero." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.
Once they win elections, it's already too late.

Trump's deployment of the National Guard is right out of the accelerationist playbook. Throw gasoline on the fire and burn down existing systems and institutions.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

I absolutely adored this issue of Fantastic Four. I've been reading the FF for over 40 years, and this might be my favorite exploration of Ben and Johnny's relationship.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...
NYT screenshot: 
One day earlier, in a neighboring state, another couple making a politically motivated move had a different flag on display — a Pride flag on a T-shirt.

Jennie and Jeff Noble were packing their possessions into a 26-foot U-Haul truck in suburban Iowa. Ms. Noble, 37, who was wearing the Pride T-shirt, and her husband were leaving Iowa for Minnesota.

Their only child, Julien, came out as transgender at age 11. Now 16, Julien uses prescription testosterone. After Iowa banned gender-affirming medical care for minors, criminalizing their son’s treatments, the Nobles — lifelong Iowans — concluded they had to get out.The Huckins family and the Noble family have not met, yet their journeys — from blue Oregon to red Missouri, and from red Iowa to blue Minnesota — mirror each other, unfolding only five weeks apart this spring. One family relocated because of a single issue — restrictions on transgender rights — while the other believed a broad swath of progressive policies had degraded their quality of life. But both families used strikingly similar language to describe their main concern: the need for personal safety.
