#REVIEW: The Art of Prophecy, by Wesley Chu I have somehow acquired enough pull as an Important Book Reviewer that sometimes publicists contact me to see if I want review copies of things.

Today's bloggery: #REVIEW: The Art of Prophecy, by Wesley Chu

Woah!

Monday afternoon book boosting: just worked through another series of novels so time to promote them to any who are interested.

To start, I worked through the Art of Destiny and the Art of Legend by @wesleychu.bsky.social, the 2nd and 3rd books of his War Arts Saga trilogy.

Final book from the homie @wesleychu.bsky.social The War Arts Saga arrived today. The collection is complete. Wish I could have been at @dragonsteelbooks.com last year and gotten it from you i. Person. No signature, no bookmark. Feels so....empty. 😂

Funny thing about Soviet architecture, they embraced brutalism not for the aesthetics, but because it was cheap and quick to build.

A friend of mine once said, "If you create and support art based on ideology, you tend to get bad art.

Ex: Soviet Union, North Koreans, Kid Rock.

Just finished The Art of Legend by @wesleychu.bsky.social narrated by @natalienaudus.bsky.social phenomenal work both of you. Definitely cried at the end. Definitely loved it. Would recommend.

lol oh no, a guy who paints miniatures is calling me a dweeb. Whatever will I do? And that's NYT bestselling illiterate dweeb to you, good sir.

Midterms are in Nov 2026, dude. Remember, abstaining to vote is like voting for Trump. 😜

The original post was about leaving maga. Man, i think we're done here. Good luck with you in whatever you want to do.

And please consider voting. I'll even help you register if you want.

Please link where I said I wanted MTG in my party. Not yours bc you don't vote, so why are you in these conversations?

LOL so you're here for the complaining but not for actual change.

Grats on owning yourself. Why are you even in these conversations?

You really have zero sense of humor, miniature painter. Go smell some flowers.

Voting is a chess move, not a Valentine.

I do, much to my parents' chagrin. I hope you grow up one day from being a miniature painter to a regular sized one.

Okay. Good day then. Bc we’re obviously reading different post. Nowhere did I say try to win Repubican votes.

Congrats, you won an internet argument.

Sigh. That’s not the point of the post, but you do you.

Ok, then don’t.

I don’t think saying, “good on them for leaving maga” gives them any comfort, but okay. There are also certainly many in maga who aren’t awful ppl who may have had their eyes opened.

No one is asking you to. You’re conflating acknowledging that they did a good thing “leaving MAGA” by having to become their friend.

I think cornering and humiliating people is not a good idea, even if deserved, even if it makes us feel better.

After WW1, the world punished Germany, which led to the rise of the Third Reich. This is why after WW2, the US led Japanese reconstruction.

Give people a way out.

Bc his vote for a non-maga candidate might help elect a candidate who will help protect immigrants?

At the end of the day, we’re on the same side and want the same things. But importantly, it’s all about the votes, and i will accept as many votes to support healthcare, voting rights, abortion, as I can find.

I think we’re not talking about the same things.

I assume that many leaving maga do so for different reasons. Maybe for some they’re not racist enough, or maybe some ppl are finally opening their eyes.

If we blanket disregard everyone who do so, and attack them anyway…they might go back to maga.

You take the victory you can get against the enemy in front of you. If their decision helps progressive causes, then i acknowledge that. I’m not trying to imply anything else.

And there’s a good chance many leaving maga finally open their eyes. Cornering them serves no one.

The OP’s post is if people leave maga, fuck them anyway bc of these reasons…

All I’m saying is, if ppl leave maga, good. Full stop. Their acknowledgment and “enforcing” is “good job for leaving maga.”

I 100% agree with you. That’s literally the crux of my point.

My point is, if someone is leaving MAGA, that’s a good thing. That’s it.

I did not say anything about embracing them or welcoming them to the big tent.

You left MAGA? Good.

Where did I say I think her behavior will change? All I said was, if someone votes or supports an important issue, we recognize it.

I’m not declaring that she’s rehabilitated or whatever. She’s not going to change bc if someone else. That’s something she had to do on her own.

Am I inviting him to dinner? All I’m saying is David Duke at least is on the side of right for an important issue.

This is literally my entire point. Recognize the good point. That’s it.

Emma, that’s all my point is. I’m not saying welcoming them to the tent.

If MTG wants to take on Trump, I acknowledge her position w/o donating to her campaign. If the Proud Boys want to support women’s choice, then I acknowledge that. Doesn’t mean I’m going to join them…

That’s not the example. I’m not trying to win their votes, but if they do support an important cause (I keep using MTG) then we should acknowledge it.
