THE OUTER DARKNESS has slithered through the cracks in SPFBO's armor, and will participate in SPFBOX! (Also, hardback proof arrived; hardbacks should be live within a few days.)

@luke_tarzian Relatable.

Monthly transparency post: Sales sucked. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Now's a good time to read a weird fantasy novel.

@J0hnADouglas @Wolfmantula I've been...facing the obstacles the universe has presented me with. Writing has taken a back seat, but I haven't given up on it. Thanks for asking.

@prindle_matthew @Wolfmantula Bro, how you been? I hardly see you on here anymore

2 years ago, I went through Austin to go float the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, so I made a pit stop to meet @prindle_matthew and received a new cover copy of Bob the Wizard

@Zepp1978 IDK why this person thinks books need to be broken. It's not a boot. Wtf.

ORRRRRRRR…..and try to stay with me here…you just read it. I know that’s a foreign concept to some “book influencers.” But it works.

The books I read this year.

@disneymom1126 Indeed.

Are there still writers here?

@jeremykauffman Furthermore, defending one of the most corrupted institutions in the world--the US healthcare system--only makes you look like a callous corporate shill peddling propaganda...which is probably what you are.

@jeremykauffman This is a purposeful misrepresentation of the facts. The concern is not the gross expenditure of money on healthcare, but the per capita expenditure on healthcare compared to the actual cost. Individuals pay more for medications and procedures than in any other country

Luigi Mangione's manifesto includes a superficially damning claim. However, it's wrong. Want to understand why the US spends so much on healthcare to get such poor results? Read this thread to see the greatest (and most unknown) analysis of US healthcare ever done.

@million_meal @30ACTruth @pmarca So...you're saying there's a conspiracy to provide Americans with affordable healthcare? What a horrible, wicked, affront to decency.

@pmarca Always ask yourself WHY the media wants you to hear this, and WHY politicians enthusiastically report it It's because govt/media are pushing for Medicare For All Everything reported about Mangione is very weird and inconsistent

@rasmr_eth @30ACTruth @FearedBuck Why would his political affiliation matter? Are you saying you'd agree with him if he aligned with you politically? Sounds like something a mindless sheep would say.

@FearedBuck “Lived experience”? Ya he’s a libtard

Luigi Mangione screams out to a crowd of reporters while been taken to his extradition hearing “It is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people!”

@TheDemocrats Nice out of context clip that doesn't actually say what you are saying.

Cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is "on the table" for Republicans.

@realtalkstruth @elonmusk @xai I live in Austin and they are absolutely everywhere.

@elonmusk @xai Who actually has a CyberTruck?

The @xAI image generation system was developed internally in ~6 months

@Hydra_VII Nice. Sleep Token is dope!

It's December. It's time. Yule shall not pass!

@I_kai_ber @Renmakesmusic The issue is not about book bans, but rather the claim that reading specific authors leads to right wing extremism, which would be a very concerning claim if it was actually in the report.

@Renmakesmusic @prindle_matthew Tbh I also went through Prevent reports and many differently worded searches in several engines. There are a few news platforms pointing to each others with this ban. And there is a ban for some books in place. But no Huxley. It’s actually recommended for reading in a few schools

@Renmakesmusic I understand it is plausible in the current climate. But there is a lot of bad information out here, from all sides. I am skeptical of claims without tangible proof.
