If you’ve ever listened to Brett Goldstein’s Films to be Buried With podcast, maybe you also have imagined being a guest. Maybe you too assume you will never be a guest. Herein, I’ll be imagining being a guest, just publicly. I’m anticipating fun! johnconnors419929.substack.com/p/fine-brett...

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

I want this lying, sundowning grifter to continue speaking off-the-cuff, emptying his hollow soul into microphones in every swing state he can reach in the next month. I want him out there every day, revealing some fresh thread of malignant, fatuous idiocy. I think he's now a political plague.

When was the last time the press ran a story about republicans making intemperate remarks about democrats? Fretting about whether republicans are doing enough to be bipartisan, to reach out to the forgotten voters who favor the democrats?

10th anniversary screenings of Moonlight this weekend! I did not see this in the theater, but over the past 10 years it’s become a top-five movie for me. So I’m pretty excited to see it on a big screen! And also to introduce my 15-year old daughter to it. :)

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

That Trump genuinely believes the world, after 70+ years, is going to stop using AI as a term, and start using whatever nonsense his addled brain burped up is absolutely hilarious.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

Why is the Republican answer always to accept less?

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

I just watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, S5, E16 with my daughter and wife. The Body. (Third watch for me. Second for the daughter. First for the wife.) Pretty sure this is my favorite episode of television ever.

Article 25 (3)(e) of the statute establishing the International Criminal Court criminalizes incitement to genocide. If someone can walk into the United Nations and say this, they’re daring the court to act.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.
