Sam Flynn - MYSTERY OF THE PALE KING out now!

"Empathy is a sin" crowd basically asking to take Ls at this point

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

It’s important to remember that billionaires are parasites with a vested interest in persuading you they are predators.

If you like a blend of history, horror, and fantasy, my novella The Mystery of the Pale King combines the historical legend of French nobleman/serial killer Gilles de Rais with The King in Yellow mythos for a flintlock fantasy/cosmic horror hybrid. www.timberghostpress.com/pale-king.ht...

It's got it all! Transfeminine protagonist! Angelic births! Fighting white supremacy!

Unironically the premise of my next novella #ApocalypseAuditor

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Currently in cover design for my flintlock fantasy/cosmic horror novella Dweller in Darkness, the conclusion to the Deadlight Duology which comes out this fall from @timberghostpress.bsky.social! The first book The Mystery of the Pale King was one of Grimdark Magazine's Best Read of 2024.

“In order to connect with young men in America, we need to support those systems most effective as taking their money.”

DEATH CULT

He’s currently suing The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, his DOJ seized devices from a Washington Post reporter, he’s said that the broadcast nets should lose their licenses and called for the firings of various journalists, what are we doing here?

Creativity is nonlinear: Was wrapping up #ApocalypseAuditor when the idea for a new scene way back at the beginning struck me like lightning. So now I gotta go back and work that in. Unexpected detour but I think it will pay off. Gotta follow the muse.

Oh fuck yeah, a new episode of Jason Statham Kills Dudes is out.

In 2026, colleges must teach students that this is not the end of the world. We must teach hope. Current undergraduates can barely remember a time before the threats of climate change and authoritarianism loomed to catastrophic scale. Since 2010, the future depicted in TV, books, and games has been dystopian or apocalyptic, so for our current students the end of the world feels more familiar and realistic than a future with hope. Now we are asking them to choose majors and life paths when the desirability, indeed the very existence, of whole sectors of employment are in question, due to the overwhelming promises of LLMs and machine learning. As young people hear daily that vocation after vocation may vanish into automation’s maw, and that democracy, liberty, land, sea, and sky are all in jeopardy, despair is growing. Despair is very emotionally tempting. It means freedom from the responsibility to shape the future. This is a terrifying turning point, but many generations before us have faced such turning points, and met them. We can offer our students perspective. Only a few dozen institutions on Earth are more than 900 years old, and the vast majority are universities. The university system is not a house of straw to buckle in this storm: We are the rocks that have sheltered the knowledge, hope, and truth through tumults which have toppled kingdoms while classrooms endured. We can endure this, and be a guiding light through it, but only by recentering, by teaching citizens, not workers; power, not PowerPoint; aspiration, not apocalypse. Despair is how we lose. The classroom is where we battle it. All other battles flow from here. Ada Palmer is an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago.

This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.
