'He never could count.'

I made an agreement with Jenphalian that I would announce I have a patreon every so often. Okay, I have a patreon. I should probably put something up on it one of these days, shouldn't I?

Great question. IMO, the value of 'show don't tell' is more in characterization than anything else. That is, it is usually better to show someone being kind than to say, 'She was kind.' For other things, telling is often the best choice, depending on how cool you can tell it.

No. Trump is a reflection of the outmoded, diseased, rotting capitalist system that needs to call on someone like him if it is to cling its disgusting, miserable life. Replace the system with a rational one based on human need, and he'll be nothing more than a footnote.

This is a good time--in my opinion, a very good time--for the reminder that if someone says 'It is wrong to do this,' and your only reply is, 'it's legal,' you are revealing a great deal more about yourself than you probably want to. This also applies to 'right' and 'illegal.'

My first reaction is to make a crack like, 'Why do you?' but it is more serious than that. A representative of the State is using his position to get someone fired for expressing beliefs he doesn't approve of. This should chill you. It should also enrage you.

Amazon Piss Jugs 🇵🇸 I am 75 and qualify as a 'Boomer' and I still have to work in order to keep a roof over my head. So much for 'golden years' and retirement!

In other I news, I had a minor medical issue last week and the doctor put me on steroids. Alas, this ends my dream of competing in the Olympics. And I've spent so many years preparing for the marathon napping event. Oh well, life goes on.

If you can see what police are doing around the world and think, 'yeah, the people who want to get rid of that are the problem,' you're a much bigger part of the problem than you think.

As near as I can tell, the difference between the US capitalist parties regarding civil liberties comes down to 'We will cheerfully take away your right to protest' and 'We will take away your right to protest, but be sad about it.'

Repression at home and repression abroad. If you think the violence of the fascist Ukrainian regime is far removed, think again. Without opposition, it's coming here. Imperialism. Reaction all down the line.

I don't know anything about self publishing, but I know both Chris Wallace and A Damned Stemple. They both have extensive experience at it and are both good teachers. If you're planning to self publish, I suggest looking into this.

Couldn't agree more. Stewart was amazing, and her works hold up. Why she was dismissed as a 'genre' writer and the equally brilliant Mary Renault was not, is something I don't understand.

Beautiful display of journalism. Please watch this absolute gem of an interview. This is what happens when there’s pushback. Zionists become flustered and cry about the line of questioning because they can’t answer the questions.

I'd have been SO tempted to join the group. And then contribute a materialist analysis of whatever passage we were studying ala Kautsky. I mean, I wouldn't have done it, but I'd have been tempted.
