The article that quote is from — "Chris Evans, Original Insurgent" — is a major source of inspo for Dutch Van der Linde in general. Very specific "a real piece of work" vibes coming through
Added to this piece: a (definitely very real!) conversation Chris Evans reported having with Collis P. Huntington, which inspired Dutch Van der Linde's "you rob; I rob" dialog with Leviticus Cornwall.

From Chicago and the Twin Cities to Vermont, police departments play an essential role in the ICE abductions, violently suppressing resistance that would otherwise keep people safe from the clutches of the kidnappers.
ICE is the enemy of humanity. So are police.

This particular piece has been updated several times for two reasons: one, did Christopher Evans [notthatone] ever lie. Also Wallace Smith was, at best, a really bad researcher. TL;DR: never believe a man just because he's a history professor.
Highlighting some site updates! To begin: discovering the historical fight that inspired RDR2's "Americans at Rest." Also, over 100 years later, I definitively exonerate Sontag & Evans of one of the murders they were accused of. NBD!

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
I still have important new research to share on RDR2's history and geography, but I'm feeling a bit winded/demoralized. It's hard being a person who makes things in this world! So … visit and share the site, if you're so inclined.
NEW on Read Dead: … everything! The site has been completely redesigned. The essays have been edited for clarity and updated with new evidence. Many new photos, inc. classical art bc fuck generative AI. Also, DARK MODE now available!

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance
I hope all those Rockstar North boys go choke 💕
Pals! A friend of mine is in serious need in LA. Phil is one of the kindest people I know, and he's always taking care of other people. If you can give to his fundraiser, or share it, please do!!!

ABOLISH ICE
Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.
no, those are my emotional support 50 screenshots from 1 minute of primary text
actually, now that I think about it, it's fucked up that we never get to send any telegrams in RDR2
nonsense about telegraph poles and spider webs??
oh I love her
every time windows updates: let cortana call your mom for you. install copilot on all your thought processes. windows now wipes your ass
girl. tf is wrong with you.
goes without saying if you're familiar with my work, but don't buy GTA6. you have better things to do with your money/life/time
"2025 has seen the industry seemingly collectively agree that its prices should be based around the income of the CFO rather than the working Joe." SPEAK ON THAT
siri cite this weird old microfilm of a weird old historical document for meeee
The number of bibliography entries I need to write. horrid.
gross
In fact I'm currently so research-waterlogged I'm literally dreaming about it.
I've found an enormous amount of information, btw, and I feel like I've gained a whole new understanding of RDR2. Very excited to share, but it will unfortunately take some time to offload it all from my brain to the page.
I am still hard at work on new research and site updates!! Please don't forget me 💗
god, how awkward it would've been if Dan Houser had had to give Best Narrative to Silent Hill F
