Nice review in @WordOnFire of Spare Us Yet by Bonfire E-i-C Lucas Smith.
"A challenging collection, Spare Us Yet rewards close reading, with each story rich enough to warrant a review of its own."
“Smith is not especially concerned with settling ideological arguments or telling us which side is right. He is more interested in how imperfect people reach for God.”

Books are for supermen, Übermenschen. All the rest is for Untermenschen. Love books. Read them. Try to understand what is within. That is the only way to stay human. The man is the middle of string between Superman and subhuman. The books make you what you are in the core.

Someone has discovered the plotline of Billionaire Boys Club
There is literally a group of gen Z kids online that has mastered the art of VC investment fraud
They have a playbook where they hire guys from stanford and MIT to be faces of a startup, vibe code some good looking software and straight up run away with investor money after raising small 100-500k preseed rounds
I learnt about this today, considering how legal crime has become i can’t even say i’m surprised

After many public allegations, I stood on stage at KGB Bar and read aloud, humiliating my critics who have accused me of illiteracy. Libellous. Big thank you to the Panacea Review for organising this event! Big thank you to all the internet friends who came along as witnesses!
Get to this if you are in New York! Jack is a 100% contagious writer. To acquire immunity pre-order his next novel virus, Audience Capture, at Bonfirebooks(dot)org.

I want to add for my fellow Amerimutts that you can buy this book on the @BooksBonfire website and that the prices there are in Australian dollars. So the USD price is lower than it appears.
