Now I understand why Obama thought that Kanye West was “a jackass.” It’s because he doesn’t march in lockstep with the Left and the grievance industry.

On the other hand, Cathy Young isn’t impressed with Candace (to say the least).
Oh, sorry. Candace. I followed her activities at the time of her previous venture.https://t.co/tzK3xsYm5uhttps://t.co/01OSoc13T9https://t.co/5UBJo5EyDl

I’m back in the states, (back to Florida for a couple days, then back to CA on Friday), and I woke up to this story from Sarah Hoyt over the latest mau mauing of the left against a sane SF writer.
I grew up reading SF in the sixties; I don’t know what happened to it. The Left apparently has to corrupt and rot everything it touches.
A guideline to how to woke-ify it, from Frank Fleming (who has a new book out), over at Sarah Hoyt’s place.

Yes, this is a problem I’ve always had, too:
This one is going to be harder for some than others. Sarah Hoyt has been pretty good about this, while I have always struggled. But if at all possible, when you sit down to write, don’t be a straight white male. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with being a straight white male — you were born that way, no fault of your own — it’s just that everyone hates you. So stop it.
I don’t think I’m even going to work on that one.

Sarah has some blurbs about the book.
A harrowing expedition deep into Clinton country.
The surprising reason there are so many Thai restaurants in America. Does any other country do this?
The first Mars visitors will probably die. Of course, we’re all going to die somewhere.
As I note in the book, it’s very unlikely that the Shackleton ad was real. If it had been published in a London broadsheet, it would have been spelled “honour.”

And per usual, a lot of ignorance and stupidity in comments over there.
I’ve got review copies of Tim Fernholz’s
Beautiful imagery from Trevor, who I met at the launch.
Laura Montgomery has a new short story out.
Sarah Rumpf had a little tweetstorm the other day, and I largely agree with her. I continue to be happy she lost, and happy with many of the policy outcomes, but that doesn’t mean that I have to abandon my principles just because the clown in the White House apparently has none.

Hillary Clinton, the woman in the high castle.
