Finished reading this, thankfully an easy read cos I struggle with books these days. Filled in a lot of gaps. It’s thorough, though intro level. This resources page isn’t linked from the main site.

At the beginning the 'enemies' were the #Jews
(Jude Will Not Replace us)
Then the #Media
(believe only me)
Then #liberal/#Democrats ('woke')
then #Latin immigrants
(parasitic criminals that bring diseases)
& (they eat the pets!)
Then the #FBi
Then Women (in general)
then #Gays to follow #Trans
('god' does not want them !!! the children the children ..)
Then #Books
Now #People who work for the #Government

#MAGAs have so many 'enemies'
...
they'll find more
to justify their idiocy of hatred.

Started reading American Hippo

Where has this band of queer misfit cowboys riding hippos in the bayou been all my life?!

(Also, I know exactly who the cast would be if this was a movie.)

#SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #OmarElAkkad to discuss his new book, #OneDayEveryoneWillHaveAlwaysBeenAgainstThis.

"Omar El Akkad wrote this full-throated indictment of the 'principal concern' of the modern American liberal. It is 'not what one does or believes or supports or opposes, but what one is seen to be.' "

As you will know I'm no stranger to typos, so this cartoon goes out to anyone who sent me a massage about a typo in a post (as always thanks for your help, much appreciated) bit also to my Mastodon friend @h4890 who will appreciate this on a Saturday morning.

So, by law in Hungary books with any #LGBTQ content have to be sold with the warning "Non-traditional content!"

On top of being sinister, his system is also:

1. Ironically useful, because Hungarian bookshops didn't have queer sections before, so the label actually makes queer content a lot easier to find

2. Low key surreal when the label is put on folktales, Greek mythology, or biographies like Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls...

3. Useless and dumb

Another story behind the stories in my new collection, The Gates of Polished Horn:

I've always admired Italo Calvino, particularly his experimental novel, Invisible Cities. So much so that one of those cities inspired one of the stories in the new book!

Hoopla, which provides U.S. public libraries with ebooks, says it will do more to prevent their distribution after @404mediaco showed they were common on the platform. An AI-generated book about Elon Musk and a cookbook about fatty liver by an author who does not appear to exist were highlighted in the original report by @emanuelmaiberg. Some librarians say that Hoopla’s “light on details” statement avoids accountability.

I considered using Ivan from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel for my protagonist, but it's a less common name among Millennials to Generation Alphas. So, I chose Alex as a grateful homage to Solzhenitsyn. 🙏 #books #shortstories #speculativefiction

Eek! I'm having an HALLUCINATION! I did a search on 'best books about the history of film-making' and I got THIS slop, slung together by AI.

Just look at the creepy uncanny valley 'photos' - what language this side of H.P. Lovecraft are those titles from???

And the WEIRDEST thing is that these are from... 'factualamerica.com'.
I think we're entering the Twilight Zone, here, folks.

Hunter S. Thompson died by his own hand on this day, 20 years ago. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was wildly entertaining and an important book to me in my young life. I find the film of that book with Johnny Depp to be unwatchable as none of the charm of Thompson's writing comes to bear. The Rum Diary is a pretty good film though IMO.

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced contemporary thriller set in northern Scotland.

The elusive Hermit’s Castle at Achmelvich on the west coast of Sutherland is visited by the book’s two central characters. This remarkable concrete folly was built in 1950 and is sometimes known as Europe's smallest castle: though it’s a castle in name only.

To all you #SciFi #writers out there,

Please please please please have an astrophysicist or aerospace engineer review your book before publishing.

I'm reading an award-winning scifi book right now and while the writing is good and the author obviously tried to get the science details down, they also obviously didn't do much more than read wikipedia. It's getting painful to read.

One of the #books I've currently got going—Donato Loia's fantastic 1095 Short Sentences— helped me think through some ambiguous feelings about the rise of the #newsletter. Of course, that's over at the #blog, a medium I suspect is still a different beast from a newsletter:
