Here's a link to the site for our workshop, small town, but we have some successful writers and lots of readers. It's a good system. If you can find a place to meet, start your own!

Inside The Lions: Coverage of Penn State football by Audrey Snyder | Substack Original reporting, insight and analysis of your Nittany Lions. Click to read Inside The Lions: Coverage of Penn State football by Audrey Snyder, a Substack publication. Launched a day ago.

In April, The Athletic decided it no longer wanted to cover Penn State football. I was out of work ahead of the most anticipated PSU season in two-plus decades.

Well, they don't know this place like I do. I'm back and would love to have you along for the ride!

But do *you* love it?
No one else matters.

It's a matter of priority.
First thing, every day, learn the craft (never stop studying the craft!), find a workshop, and if you do it for the buzz, you'll probably create something you love.
And you can't beat that.

The thing about short stvs novels is that perfection is possible in 3000 words, but impossible in 100,000.

Workshop them!

ICE: With great power comes great responsibility! ICE will soon be a greater force than the combination of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and Secret Service, accountability shouldn’t be too much to ask…

#ICE With great power comes great responsibility!
We just gave ICE a 300% raise, we have a right to know what they're doing. ICE must become accountable and transparent--how can help:

Scotland knows.

100 year anniversary of Hitler's Mein Kampf. Just think of the manifesto 47 might have written, ya know, if he could read.
Instead, he plagiarized project 2025.

That's a pretty broad brush you're using to paint millions of people. What fraction do you think adheres to your stereotype.

All generalizations are wrong.

The End of Privacy: denial of transparency is Obstruction of Justice Having surrendered our right to privacy, we turn to transparency — the right to observe and collect evidence with our mobile devices — and…

Privacy? Forget it.
Instead, we turn to transparency — the right to observe and collect evidence with our mobile devices — and demand laws that preserve this right.

And... yer mom's the bozo!

Marshall, yeah, it's not like we disagree on any of the points you raise. Presidential politcs in the US *are* binary. Decision by a simple majority renders 3+ parties ineffective. Vote for the best we can get and push to fix the system.
Democracy allows change without violent revolution.

Well, in the USA, it is binary. A two party system is an emergent property of the constitution.

Sure, the alternative is working out great for Palestine.
Stop sacrificing the better on the alter of the perfect. Wake me when you get the votes for perfect, until then, just vote better over worse.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.

Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

General counsels at various companies told The Wall Street Journal that they doubted that firms surrendering to Trump could be relied upon to represent them — in court or at the negotiating table — since they couldn’t stand up for themselves.

Good time to point out that Trump has "limited immunity" but no one else does.
ICE agents committing assault, kidnapping, etc are likely to do hard time when sanity reemerges.
That includes everyone in the cabinet. Look forward to seeing Stephen Miller get what he deserves.

Tweet showing a protest-style sign on a city street that reads, “We are officially living out the part of history that makes school kids ask, WHY DIDN’T ANYONE DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM?”

You are here.

Headline says Starmer told to accept Trump free speech agenda to win trade deal

The same administration that bans journalists from their press conferences wants to lecture us on free speech.
Fuck. Off.

And the people who "arrested" and took him need to be arrested for kidnapping.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele should be arrested by DHS before his plane lifts off.

This is what magic sounds like ✨

You're confusing bitcoin for blockchain. Blockchain is legit tech with many useful applications.
Bitcoin is a waste of cpu power, a greenhouse gas generator that will collapse the instant the first quantum computer is engaged.

I seen ya out there... reporting to Tulsi--omfg what universe is this?

I can imagine Ashland mustering 1000+. Pam Marsh estimated 5k in, I didnt sample and count, but 5k is an upper limit.
It's easy to protest in Ashland. It's practically catered--crepes on the corner, two tap rooms, 3 bars, a dozen restaurants--no better place to protest this side of Mill valley
