Review: Fracture by R. Sinclair
There was never a single moment in the story where I felt bored... it might just be my new favourite book of all time... Needless to say, I can’t wait to read the next book.

This is not a dress rehearsal.
In LA, we don't see Trump as "going after them."
He is coming for us. With militarized troops. With maximum aggression. With malice aforethought.
This is either the finale of American democracy or opening night of the counter revolution.
We, the people, must decide
We did it! The #MadeinLAWriters Vol. 6 Hollywood Adjacent campaign is a success. We're bringing hyperlocal stories by local authors to the city we love. Thank you to our backers!!! More news soon. Also #FuckFascism

A German experiment gave people a basic monthly income. The effect on their work ethic was surprising
(Or not surprising at this point. The people with UBI didn't quit working. They felt healthier and happier. The women, in particular, felt greater autonomy. UBI works.)

Easier said than done. We've been wrapped in a web over many years. It'll take me a while to migrate my phone, documents, work processes, habits, etc to less bad options. I never bought into smart home devices so that's a relief. But the real world incursion is a minefield too.
