“I was in love with the book. In pure, ignorant defiance of the decree of the Iowa Writing School that controls almost all modern fiction, Galt tells without showing.”

—Ursula K. Le Guin discusses John Galt’s ANNALS OF THE PARISH

“As the brakes never really worked anyway, we figured the team’s existence was redundant. Going forward, none of our models will be outfitted with brakes"

Israel blackmails ICC with threat to cancel ceasefire it never offered
It has a right to defend itself from international law

Due to serious concerns the International Criminal Court is about to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his officials, Israel has been left with no choice but to increase the intensity of its genocide. This is because Israel has a right to defend itself from international law.

I was a lifelong Democrat until Judge Merchan threatened #trump with jail time for repeatedly violating his gag order in his trial for covering up his hush money payment to a pornstar he had an affair with while his wife was home with his newborn son.

Bottom line, anyone who protested as a student knows you simply don't have the education and sophistication to really understand the complexities of the Middle East.

In contrast, I look forward to the predominantly male Supreme Court ruling on women's bodies.

Some good news from media land! Satire outlet The Onion is under new management, with one of the owners being Jeff Lawson, co-founder of Twilio, the cloud communications firm with a market value of $11 billion. “The Onion is an institution, a national treasure, and we need it,” says Lawson, the new chairman. “But its success is based on something different than most media companies. The Onion has been stifled, along with most of the internet, by byzantine cookie dialogs, paywalls, bizarro belly fat ads, and clickbait. The Internet sucks, and it’s time we made it better.” The new CEO will be Ben Collins, the reporter who previously covered disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC. He says that the plan is to work with the union, keep all the writers, and "make it so they can hopefully get paid a little bit more money." Here's more from Deadline.

Our stuff isn't selling at all— we put it out two weeks ago and it's just not selling. Next year our store might not stock it at all.

I guess Christians are not interested in buying Easter stuff?
