Further into the the book, the thing that is so striking is the pure genre velocity, suspense, and economy, combined with razor sharp prose precision, and a deeply disturbing psychological plausibility of characterization.
Total command of the form.

The thing that frightens me about this isn't that kids aren't learning to write, per se. It's that learning how to write also teaches you how to think, and the downstream problems presented by a population who can't think are actually scary. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…
Hate NYC and California all you want.
Revel in your hate.
Savor it.
Relish it.
Talk about it online.
Without them the country doesn’t exist.
Within a few years the economy collapses.
The charity we pump into red states via taxes evaporates.
Gluttony is what flyover country does with our tax dollars.
It’s pretty sad tbh.
Maybe one day we’ll stop giving away our money to ungrateful republicans.
We will only tolerate so much hatred before we stop being so generous to those that hate us so much.
@BrettRedacted 1 thing I would add to is the use of music.
The way the mournful submerged minimalist ambient score creates a subliminal physicality.
How it subtly informs the audience re the pervasive heaviness of mind/body underlying the humor. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Yep.
This whole thing is about equal treatment under the law.
The thing we undermined when we let a felon escape legal consequences, become president, and pardon his thug insurrection squad.
Should not have gone down this path.
The important thing to note here:
“Internet star”.
This is the disease that got us trump.
This toxic fusion of showbiz and politics.
Attention seekers who use politics as a way to….get attention.
This is not public service.
This is a vanity project.
Ego gratification.
She’s a lefty 26-year-old internet star. Her primary opponent is 80. Can @KatAbughazaleh's Congressional campaign provide a jolt the Democrats need? gq.visitlink.me/qgwOEL

The media demanded Biden personally solve a shortage of baby food formula and kept after him for weeks about it while Trump's FDA isn't even bothering to warn people about E. coli outbreaks and it won't even be a story by tomorrow.
Some folks not cut out to be parents.
The father of Daisy — the 2nd unvaccinated girl to die of measles in Texas in just 2 months — says he has no regrets about not vaccinating her and does not plan to vaccinate any future children
Please vaccinate your children; it could save their lives

I voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, so none of this is on me. You don't get to be angry if you didn't vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Everyone knew what was at stake, and people still voted for how they wanted regardless of all the warning signs we saw and heard.
People who hate democrats like it when democrats attack other democrats.
These vultures are happy that Trump is president and destroying the United States.
This quoted post is unavailable.
And it is objectively true that we told you it would be bad.
And it is.
Really bad.
A complete disaster, in fact.
So, yes, we literally TOLD YOU SO.
I'm sorry you can't accept that.
WE TOLD YOU SO, in hopes that you would pull your head out of your a**.
Vain hope, sadly.
