You cannot write that you imagine another world without a bunch of people who lack imagination either telling you it’s not possible or telling you John Lennon is the only one able to use the word imagine in a sentence in the context of imagining a different way to exist on this planet together.

Tariff war: Does Trump actually know what he's doing? | About That
YouTube video by CBC News Tariff war: Does Trump actually know what he's doing? | About That

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

I am going to get my act together and fully migrate to BlueSky. I want to use all social media to promote my book. There's no point doing this much work and let it be lost inall the noise. People need to know it exists, then make the choice of whether to buy and read it.
I'm grateful for any shares.

The Editorial Battles That Made The New Yorker The magazine has three golden rules: never write about writers, editors, or the magazine. On the occasion of our hundredth anniversary, we’re breaking them all.

Huzzah for editors! Too many great quotes, here is but one: β€œA writer is a guy in the hospital wearing one of those gowns that’s open in the back” was another of Bennet’s aphorisms. β€œAn editor is walking behind, making sure that nobody can see his ass.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
