Sorry folks, the spam will continue until I can afford a decent cheeseburger. Paperback is finally up for preorder at B&N, I hope they pay me this time (it'll be at Amazon on the 10th because they suck that way but at least they pay up).
Book is basically a "travel guide" for left-centric social media, heavily focused on solidarity.

Netflix descriptions that make me scroll away after 1/100th of a second and try to remember them so I'll never waste time reading them again:
"After losing his memory in an accident..."
"Broke and in the middle of a divorce, football coach.."
"Time-traveling assassins.."
"A horse with cancer.."
"Hunted by the CIA.."
"Vin Diesel..."
Aside from gun manufacturing, the only thing the US does well these days is finance capitalism. Everyone has all sorts of leeches bleeding people's bank accounts for this or that fee for mortgage, rent, insurance, subscriptions to stupid media junk, and now Elmo & Zuck think people will pay to use *corporate social media*, which has always been a barter system where the SM companies get our data in exchange for using their "service."
*Hard* pass.
Lolol, holy crap, we started watching Loudermilk and the whole goddam thing is exactly like my life except he wrote for Rolling Stone instead of the Village Voice family of newspapers and I was never a drunk or an addict and he doesn't have a driver's license and he's single ok it's a bad comparison but HE IS ME
As more women challenge extreme abortion bans that nearly killed them, red state officials are developing a strategic response: demean, degrade, and insult any woman who dares to claim that her life should be valued over her pregnancy.

You know, it's no wonder so many people are vaguely anxious these days, given the fact that we're in this bizarre era of "rentier capitalism" when everyone's bank and credit card accounts have zillions of companies plugged into them, sucking out monthly subscription fees and all that, all while there are literally thousands of techies who could figure out how to hack those systems and take all our money if they made any effort. We're really lucky they haven't yet.
As a nation, Israel is no more wacky than the US. The Gaza invasion was supported by only 49% of Israelis, which means they have the same level of ideological division we do here.
Netanyahu is leading the most right-wing government in Israel's history. In other words, he's Israel's version of Ron DeSantis.
Biden needs to stop behaving like DeSantis would on this matter if he wants to win this year, because voters who don't get their news from MSNBC and CNN will vote with their middle fingers.
