They want you entertained but not enlightened. They want you and your children to die on a ravaged planet while they pile up the earth's riches in their impregnable bunkers and dream of living forever. (2 of 2)

Here is the truth you need to reckon with. They have no use for you. They want you sick and starving. They want you voiceless and enslaved. They want you opinionated but not educated. (1 of 2)

If you can follow Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings and the whole damned Marvel cinematic universe, you can follow Moby-Dick. Trust me.

Here's a good example why it pays to read widely. The more tools in your drawer, the more choices you'll have.

When you're accustomed to raping and murdering children one by one, striking a girl's school with a Tomahawk missile is about economies of scale.

Don't forget: Trump isn't composing prompts and generating this AI crap on his own. He's too impaired and stupid for that. It's being fed to him by people who know exactly what they're doing.

Chicago proves once more that Trump is *all about cruelty.* The Epstein files are going to sicken every one of us.

When Philly cops bombed the MOVE house in 1985, the story was everywhere. Nobody's covering this week's assault on innocents in Chicago. That's the difference between what we were and what we've become.

I think Trump meant to call himself the Grim Raper.

I would honestly like know why the sell copy for most current fiction focuses on the concealment and revelation of deep, dark, secrets.

If they can shut down the government, we can shut down the whole damned country. General strike now. Let’s go.

I want a one-man show that's nothing but bits of Trump speeches read for alternating hilarity and terror by Brian Cranston in a fat suit.

I present to you a man who has actually been modeling his speech pattern upon that of his favorite imbecile.

Why aren’t we talking about how “dangerous cities” is code for “places where brown people live”?

LBJ stole elections, cheated on Lady Bird, escalated Viet Nam, and lifted his beagle up by the ears, but he never went after the Smothers Brothers.

If Charlie Kirk were a first-grader, they wouldn't be giving him a second thought.

Pleading the Fifth Amendment should disqualify you for lying in state in the Capitol. And I'm not only talking about Charlie Kirk.

While we're redrawing all the state maps, let's redraw the whole country. I suggest splitting it in two.

I'm writing a novel about a weak and self-loathing individual who enslaves himself to a seductive monster. After MARLEY, it's my second book for the Trump era.
