As we enter the “Bernie vs Warren” stage of the primary, please remember:

Corporate media (1) does not give a shit about you or your country (2) is trying to rile you up over trivial bullshit (3) will do anything to steer the debate away from critiques of capitalism/corporatism.

@bentateauthor You wear pants when you write? Good to know.

This Vox article of all the RWA happenings is fantastic. Seeing it all in one place still boggles the mind. RSJ is one of the many sources linked in the article. Thanks, Vox for the coverage. https://t.co/tCVsO8ICF5

Categories of friendship (not mutually exclusive) that writers would understand:

1. I Have No Interest the Types of Books You Write and You Have No Interest in Mine But We Are Still Good Friends

2. We've Hung Out At Many Cons & I Still Don't Know Your Real Name or What You Do

@JulietEMcKenna So sorry to hear this. You deserve so much better.

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

if i were a liberal billionaire with a $100 millions to burn i'd spend it on a nationwide voter registration drive instead of a vanity presidential campaign

In 1996 Terry Pratchett interviewed Bill Gates for GQ and accurately predicted how the internet would propagate and legitimise fake news. Gates didn’t believe him.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

When companies like Toys R’ Us & Sears go down & lay off thousands, people think it’s “internet kills brick + mortar.”

That’s not the full story.

CEOs+boards load these co’s w/ debt to enrich themselves, tank them, & leave workers in the cold w/o promised severance.

No more.

[Natalie Shure @nataliesurely]

billionaires are so obsessed with space colonization because they see it as a solution to climate change that doesn't involve confronting capitalism

[Allie Goertz @AllieGoertz]

For anyone who doesn't know, a "Mary Sue" is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character. You know, like Super Man, but *bad* because it's a female.
