Humanity is a silent, lonely, endless archipelago of minds. My island is a remote, uncharted one, where M.R. James is a more renowned horror legend than Lovecraft, David Fincher more celebrated than Scorsese, and Wire more famous than Taylor Swift.

@AskTheDevil - Huh, if it's that kid from Wisconsin I'll have to fix my hairstyle!😂

My totally surprised face, Bluesky and Threads blowing up the app-download charts. Train's leaving, Twitter buddies.

The elites have overdone it this time. #ExitCapitalism is my mindset going forward. Some 20th century thinkers argued that capitalism eventually morphs into socialism organically, and I think that's where we're going. This bullshit is so intolerable that we're fools to think we can survive, much less thrive, in it.

@AskTheDevil - That has to be an imposter...!😂
I know there's an Eric Saeger from the midwest who writes boring books about programming or something, but no, it's not me. I like Lovecraft but I'm a lot more into MR James.

I was listening to a really interesting interview with Amber A'Lee Frost the other day; she mentioned that today's level of wealth inequality is way past Roaring 20s level. "We're talking about four poor people sharing a car."

Lol wtf are people waiting for, seriously?

@AskTheDevil - Oprah can buzz off too. She helped give us Dr. Oz, Dr, Phil (who's not a real doctor) and Joel Osteen; she helped platform Jenny McCarthy's antivax craziness among other things. Then there was the time she opened an all girls-school in Africa where the teachers sexually molested the kids.

Now that the GOP has destroyed the Democrats and taken over the system forever (all the Dems are going to do from here is move further to the right, not the left), we need to reject that system even harder and organize better to create a more sane one through things like mutual aid, value-driven worker-owned businesses, communal living, retirement homes that double as childcare facilities, participation in worldwide barter systems, etc. It's time to just say no.

Hello people who don't know me at all, I write a weekly music review column for Hippo Press, and this is what kicked it off last week, some love for a lady who plays classical stuff on really old recorders and how some weirdo on Facebook gave her a hard time

Worried about how sucky Thanksgiving's going to be with your family? Here, somebody read this, that'd be great.
