“Can Board Chairmen Get Measles?” Here is the original cartoon found later in the book.
Found this book in the free pile at a favorite used bookshop and in Trump and RFK’s America we can sadly answer, “Yes… and so can thousands of others. Needlessly.”
Thanks to Ray Bradbury, we all know what temperature books burn at. Anyone know the operating temp of a bulk shredder?

Saw a Bluesky favorite by @chanda.blacksky.app at Vrooman’s Books in Pasadena last night. Great placement too!
Found this book from an old project. Post-Epstein files, I’d say forget a new edition. We need a whole second volume just on the deviance of the Epstein Class.
Just rewatched “Children of Men” for the first time in years —fascist/racist governments, anti-immigrant propaganda, troops on the streets, erosion of basic rights, non-citizens held in cages like animals.

Seeing these two posts one right after the other… it’s like Bluesky got what I was thinking😅 @scalzi.com
Watched Dr. Strangelove with my daughter and quickly realized the world hasn’t changed much: rabid conspiracies about fluoride in drinking water and communist plots, toxic masculinity, misogyny and powerful men with ED… all leading to incel fantasies and a warped reality that could doom us all. 5 ⭐️
This is the ad Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post refused to run. Definitely their right as a business but also my right to point out their real business depends on free speech and a free press…not corporate cowardice.
Now this is what I call a Bluesky welcome. Thank you @alfranken.bsky.social.
