Calling something 'literary fiction' is pretentious gate-keeping. When contrasted with 'genre fiction', it implies a kind of supremacy that is not only unearned, it also sucks the joy out of the written word. Read what you love. Fuck anyone who looks down on you for it.

"Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."--George Orwell, "What is Fascism?"

The President of Texas A&M has said that censorship of their professor's syllabi is okay, because they're not censoring ALL of Plato. In that spirit, I share with you his email, which I have censored, but don't worry, it's okay because I didn't censor ALL of it.

Never forget that not only did Donald Trump say Prisoner's of War aren't heroes because they were captured, he called soldiers who died defending their country "suckers" and "losers." The man lacks the capacity to understand the idea of sacrifice.

I actually do care if he saved puppies. Because I don't just care that he was murdered. I care that he lived. And saving puppies is a great we to live. And we should honor that, not just the fact that he was a victim.

Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files more times than Jesus' name appears in the Bible. Trump's name appear in the Epstein files more times than Harry Potter's name appears in all seven of the Harry Potter books.

“There’s substantial evidence that self-righteous indignation is one of these drug highs...during one of these snits you look in the mirror & you have to admit, this feels great! ‘I am so much smarter & better than my enemies! And they are so wrong, & I am so right!’"--David Brin

This is a great example of how NOT to do social commentary. The evidence that 'the left is ignoring AI' amounts to 'here are a handful of leftists that are ignoring AI.' But even the author cites two leftists who are not. Overgeneralizing is bad, and the author should feel bad.
