Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

the reason these people need to be stripped of almost all of their money is so that they stop thinking that it gives them the right to nominate themselves for the "benevolent dictator" position

Gods trying to explain this to people last time the Internet Archive got dinged for facilitating large-scale piracy… “information wants to be free” was a statement of intent about censorship and not letting facts be buried. It wasn’t a blank cheque to strip-mine the intellectual property of authors

Like either they chose not to treat the person for some reason, or they couldn’t treat them effectively- and I stress that the plague is caused by a bacteria that historically is treated very effectively with first line antibiotics- and either of those are interesting. For different reasons

The real question here is why someone in 2026 died of Y. pestis, which is highly fatal *without treatment* but responds VERY well to your most basic antibiotics. We can treat the plague these days! So why didn’t they.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.

given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists

5) there is a more logical explanation: lots of cheaper ACA plans have very high deductible and copays, so that you’d still avoid getting health care unless or until your seriously needed it. People choose these plans either because they think they’re healthy and won’t need it, or can’t afford it.

4) and IF that is the case, the solution isn’t to go on TV and decry the program, but quietly do the detective work to catch these companies at their game, and send their managers and owners to prison.

3) the only logical argument here is if insurance companies are signing up fake customers and then taking the government subsidies for that coverage, while paying out no claims. IF that is happening, it would be business/corporate fraud, not consumer fraud.

2) insurance fraud, from a consumer point of view, consists of filing fake or excessive claims, not paying premiums and then making no claims. Where’s the payout?

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

a critical weakness in far too many left-wing spaces is the lack of any real strategy for dealing with people who weaponize social justice language to lambast and tear down others while framing even the mildest - let alone well-deserved - pushback against them as bigoted abuse.

Not just people who can afford to buy a 40 dollar hard cover (because yes that's how much they cost here) or a sometimes 14.99-almost $20 dollar ebook depending on the publisher every time because that's going to make them have to limit their reading. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT AS A WRITER. Let them read.
