His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have fucking eternal life.
-- John 3:15

excerpt from the afterword of Tehanu by Ursula K Le Guin "what cannot be mended must be transcended." maybe the change coming into earthsea has something to do with no longer identifying freedom with power, with separating being free from being in control. there is a kind of refusal to serve power that isn't a revolt or a rebellion, but a revolution in the sense of reversing meanings, of changing how things are understood. anyone who has been able to break from the grip of a controlling, crippling belief or bigotry or enforced ignorance knows the sense of coming out into the light and air, of release, being set free to fly, to transcend.

excerpt from the afterword of Tehanu by Ursula K Le Guin Is it "feminist?" Moss is pretty contemptuous of men in general, having been treated by them with contempt all her life. That's all right, and I find her discussion of men's power and women's power harsh, incomplete, but interesting. Then she goes off into an incantatory of mysterious female knowledge: "who knows where a woman begins or ends? ... I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island.... I go back into the dark!" And she ends with a rhetorical question - "who'll ask the dark its name?" "I will," Tenar says. "I lived long enough in the dark." "I've often seen Moss's rhapsody quoted with approval. Tenar's fierce answer almost always goes unquoted, unnoticed. Yet it refuses Moss's self-admiring mysticism. and all Tenar's life is in it.

JK Rowling never in 1000 years could be on Ursula K Le Guin's level. Stop fucking reading Harry Potter and read The Books Of Earthsea.

Uncanny X-men #303 was one of the first comic books I read that actually made me feel like the medium was a “serious” way to tell stories. It’s emotional and engaging and just so good. Essential for X-men and comics fans alike.

The mark of a good editor is being able to make the work better while retaining the essence of the author’s voice.

Guess what? If your voice is full of slop, it’s not a voice, it’s a convenience store vending machine going out of order.

Get an editor. Take their advice. Be better.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go next? What should we read to fill this void?
