As usual, @doctorow is the voice for our moment.
Billionaires are *pretty confident* that they can't be taxed - not just that they *shouldn't* be taxed, but rather, that it is *technically impossible* to tax the ultra-rich. They're not shy about explaining why, either - and neither is their army of lickspittles.

ALT Uncle Sam as an old-fashioned cop with a gleaming IRS badge on his chest. He stands in a circle of wildly gesticulating, furious, old-fashioned rich guys. The background is a dark green, extremely magnified portrait of Benjamin Franklin from the middle of a US $100 bill.

At long last, the third book in World Science Fiction Studies is out! _The Boom & The Boom: Historical Rupture and Political Economy in Contemporary British and Chinese Science Fiction_ by Guangzhao Lyu. It's great! Ask your library to order it!

The challenge: distilling the rapidly evolving field of Quantitative Text Analysis into one overview paper. The outcome: our latest publication in @MethodsPrimers. I hope reading it offers you as many insights as co-writing it brought me! Read it here: rdcu.be/dErq6

I would also take advantage of such an exciting shift in public services. 😊
A passenger train would be a welcome addition to South Dakota. If I could take a train to Omaha, Rapid City, or Minneapolis, I’d gladly do so.

Looking forward to two days of “Python4Poets” at @unipotsdam, where I’ll continue to learn how a quantitative approach to understanding the impact of literary texts can be leveraged.
