Yup. They used my books, too. But then again, UVA neurosurgeon Dr. Jason Sheehan should be equally pissed off.
Sometimes when you’re hiking a wild animal may attack you. You have to decide on the spot whether to play dead or make yourself large and loud. It depends on the animal. Against Trump and Musk you have to go large and loud. If you don’t know that, get off the trail.
Honestly, that sounds like kinda the best night ever.
Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇
I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
Watch the whole video. Then watch it again. Watch it until you are angry enough to promise yourself that the next time you see something like this happening, you'll be the person who stands up, not the one who steps aside

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site?
Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.
Personally I think it should be impossible for Elon and his lil fash army of engineers to go anywhere in Washington without being confronted by a pro-democracy Brooks Brothers riot and maybe one person with a bullhorn reading aloud everything Vivian has ever said about him, just to be petty
This is so true. And the jank-related game-to-restaurant analogy is 100% spot on.
Totally worth a re-read. Holds up remarkably well. As do most parts of Snow Crash/Diamond Age. Just re-read both in the past month and a lot of it turned out to be scarily prescient.
Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary
This and Diamond Age are the ones that shock me when someone hasn't read them. Plus the Mirrorshades anthology, among a certain vintage of book-punk nerds. Like, how did you have a brain and eyeballs and a few bucks and NOT read Dogfight or Burning Chrome when you were 15...?
The new “Don’t Just Do Nothing: 20 Things You Can Do to Counter Fascism—Yes, You! Yes, Now!” zine makes a great gift for your liberal fam, friends, neighbors & coworkers!
Read, print & distro freely!

Truth.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
