Oh but by his words, everyone but the natives should go back to Europe it seems.

It’s how they do thing: campaign to manipulate people, then boom they come with an executive order.

Of course. I mean Trump has to appeal to his main supporters - white/Latino men. White women just voted against themselves

“But while ice and clouds can reflect sunlight back into space and reduce global heat, water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and the longer that vapor remains in the atmosphere, the greater it will heat our planet.” - still polluting. Stop defending billionaires

Dear Byron,
Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the
first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above).
I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible.
One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again
whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the
States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the
way it is!
There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense.
Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every
single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that
Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So
why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And
'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that
Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel
disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that
people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You
wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'.
There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a
generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to
"Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they
haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks
Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text
of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the
continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't
heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most
people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of
just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and
see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people
are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get
through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

They were not stuck. You’re supposed to do proper journalism.

If you want to build a community, you engage with it. If you want to be “followed” and a one-sided, narcissistic side, post cryptic stuff and never explain them.

Of course. A delusional megalomaniac thinks everyone should adore him and nothing they do is illegal because they’re the supreme. Autocrat to the core

I posted a video with banned books recommendations and I’ve got quite a few comments saying “it’s ONLY in schools”, “only in a few states”, etc. I don’t think people grasp what it means

3. Everyone who worked in DOGE will have criminal charges because they broke tons of laws.

I do hope most people fired will get their jobs back + USAID comes back.

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: 

I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it.

~Noam Chomsky

Wise man…
