Since it's almost Midsummer...

A giant, red, goat-headed demon sits on a stone throne in a subterranean chamber.
"So, it is decided: on midsummer's eve, my words shall spew forth across the land like black fire!"

"We prefer to call it 'publication day'" says his publicist.

"..And we were hoping you might do some social media to to promote the book?"

Things turmn dark, the demon's goat eyes glow
"I cannot fathom the accursed opiate screens that so enthral your kind."

"Yeah, some of our other authors feel that way, but that's why we have Toby: he's an absolute whiz!" she replies, introducing a small man.

"I'll set you up on twitter and you'll be corrupting Souls in no time!" says Toby.

A caption reads: "An hour later"

The demon now has his head in his hands and moans:
"I can endure this Foul parade of doltish barbarity No longer! Please deactivate My account, wizard Toby"

1927: Europe is healing. Berlin is burning—bright with decadence, danger, and change. Ladies’ magazines spin seductive tales of female force. While acrobats, divorcees, degenerates and amputees lure a dreamer with innocent blue eyes. geni.us/BlueEye

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Who’s
running
this
country:
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our
livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your
Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

Still probably the single Itch of Writing post I’m most proud of as a piece of writing and thinking. buff.ly/4juKR6O And actually, the deeper I am in the trenches of writing fiction or creative non-fiction, the more often I also come back to these ideas.

Can you all share this? It's a series by the BBC of great actors reading abridged versions of books such as Ken and The Lonely Londoners. It's so well done and a gift for anyone who struggles or doesn't like book in hand reading. Check it out and reskeet or whatever it's called. Cheers.
