No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.
The unsupported use case of Bix Frankonis’ disordered, surplus, mediocre midlife in St. Johns, Oregon—now with climate crisis, rising fascism, increasing disability, eventual poverty, and inevitable death.
Read the current manifesto. (And the followup.)

Michael Donaldson cites Yancey Strickler’s attempt to use Liu Cixin’s “dark forest” as a descriptive model of the internet, so I’m required to note (as I did when Om Malik did the same) that Strickler got the metaphor wrong. Maybe it’s my autistic cognitive rigidity, but I just can’t let this one go. Stickler’s use of the “dark forest” doesn’t understand what Liu was saying, and I wish people would stop repeating him.
