Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘The Man in the High Castle’ by Philip K. Dick “The Man in the High Castle” explores the sort of “what if” question that plagues the imagination of anyone who has ever thought critically about our history books, our involvement in war, our past, and what it all might mean for our present. “It allows you to think ‘what if I'm reading the present wrong? What if we did lose to fascism?’” notes author Jonathan Lethem. “I don’t think it has ever failed to be relevant.”

"The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick asks what humanity, morality and creativity look like in the face of evil. "He’s asking you to experience a kind of vertigo," says author Jonathan Lethem. "It allows you to think 'what if I'm reading the present wrong?'" #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

Looks like a nice setting for the Polonaise that opens Act III of Eugene Onegin.

They’re lying.

Anywhere else in the world, you see denser housing right where all the key transit stops are. If I lived in one of those cities, I’d want to live near a transit stop. This LA approach baffles me.

All of the US military “experts” commentating on TV are showing their hard-ons. No one knows what may come out of the US strikes on Iran, but boy are they excited by it.

This Labour lie is so insane, I was lost for words.

Rep. Al Green, thank you for this moment.

Good evening, NYC!

✔️Every street across all five boroughs plowed

Weather: Chance of light snow, then rain

Roads: Open, but proceed with caution.

The UN itself is a joke, and this voting is nothing but a meaningless gesture, but this US abstention tells so much about one of our security guarantors. Allies my ass

Very cool. I first met Greg Ketter and bought some books from him at an sf con in the 1980s. I may even still have a 1980s Dream Haven bookmark lying around somewhere!

Michael Gove smeared Zack Polanski over his opposition to Israel's genocide.
