Even though published almost 4 years ago, this is the best article I've read about book bans. I hope you'll read and share it. #BookSky
it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease
Happy paperback pub day to me.

Absolutely essential reading on global borders and asylum.
ANCIENT GREEK PRO WRESTLING PROMOTER: ok so you're going to be what's known as a "heel"
ACHILLES: fuck you
I believe this to be the case wrt ~90% of the changes to social media since 2020, if I’m being really honest

As a former StoryCorps facilitator, this is fucking disgusting.
End the project already, Dave.
You created a good model: you encouraged people to sit and do oral history for 20 yrs.

Same reason mediocre men podcast.
There is an inherent belief that that their every thought should be admired by the public at large.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

btw started getting tattoos nearly 20 years ago and still don’t feel the dire regret that the boomers smugly assured me i’d feel. they’ve never been wrong about anything before so i’m sure it’ll kick in any day now
