I think the rising generation of young republicans is...something even the current republican party is not ready for, as evidenced by these recent clashes on Heritage, Tucker, etc. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...
do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

We as a society seem to have decided that shared reading, with someone reading aloud to a group, is only for pretentious book events or for young children.
I think that is a mistake. Here's an example of why.

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.
All of Philly:
Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, itβs not a publishing problem, itβs a men problem.
I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous
Fucking hate having to fight technology all day every day. Two factor authenticate my nutsack
According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.
H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

just to get out ahead of any "what do you mean we" commentary. we produce guys like this in greater numbers than any civilization in history. there is currently no plan whatsoever to stop making guys. we should have a plan. we need to hobble these guys with crippling taxes and restrict their rights
wishing a very SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN to all other anti-trans Democrats nervously looking ahead to their own primaries
We canβt clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
Thatβs why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldnβt mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
May everyone involved burn in hell
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Fucking sucks being at the mercy of a bunch of pedophile leaders who are on the verge of death and have been bought and sold by a fascist oligarchical class that openly hates humanity.
