Short story collection "Georgia Buddha" from @PassagePress. Opinions my own.

I haven't been marketing myself for a minute, but my collection of short stories is out from @PassagePress, link below - the cover is beautiful, and captures the tone of Buddhist-inflected Southern Gothic

Georgia, I’m honored to be your Republican nominee for the United States Senate.

Now it’s time to get to work, defeat Jon Ossoff, and take this seat back for the people of this state.

Hammer Down!

VoteHub projects Mike Collins to win the Republican primary for Georgia U.S. Senate.

There is a Japanese aesthetic concept, wabi-sabi, of beautiful imperfection that inspires reflection on the transience of all things. So, think of purchases of factory seconded copies of my book from @PassagePress not as a discount, but as deepening the experience of my work.

This story was originally a novella that I tried to cram into my book from @PassagePress before it was rightly cut for space. I tightened it and it works now. It's about a man who missed the War, and a man who didn't, visiting Spain and getting lost. Link below. If you like it, buy the book.

@varadmehta That a GOP candidate has to carry at least one of the Midwest swing states, in addition to the Sun Belt, to win the Presidency in 2028 also seems lost among commentators who want a return to gentry-conservatism uber alles.

The book's available here:

The most expensive tweet of all time.

> only 12.3% reached a level of “eminence,” defined as “full professors…Fortune 500 execx … judges, lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning writers.” This means 88% never did.

GPT says this is 0.4% of adults

So gifted 'only' achieve it at 31x the base rate.

@smithpatrick08 What a horribly unfortunate building. Really a horribly unfortunate trend in mid-century architecture.

So tragic. Just a few weeks before we celebrate the 250th. RIP Gordon Wood.

Poorface might be the phrase of the current American creative culture.

Every industry has the same endemic vibe the more you start to notice. Design, tech, music, even the influencers.

This was a much more interesting read than I expected

@christopherrufo I once met a group of American expats in Southeast Asia who all said they couldn't come back to the United States because they'd lose their ammahs. The Third World's a different place.

@neontaster She would like to immediately be rich because she worked on a surprise hit and feels like she almost bought a winning lottery ticket.

no it’s okay sir i know this 70mm showtime of The Odyssey is sold out, i just have to deliver this very large horse-shaped package to someone inside

@IMAO_ Generic sci-fi/fantasy blockbuster with a meta/irony vibe that's gone stale and audiences have moved on from, with an underlying property nobody has a deep attachment to.

Trying to buy toothpaste on Amazon and suddenly having five books in my cart on the post-Civil War South is a bookworm's equivalent of an alcoholic binge.
