If you've spent any time in the world of advertising, you can always spot an overleveraged client a mile away and know exactly how hard they're gonna press to get out of their position and make it the consumers problem. TELL THEM IT CURES CANCER. TELL THEM ALL THEIR WILDEST DREAMS WILL COME TRUE

Remember that this was the result Elon Musk wanted when he cancelled USAID. He's not some buffoon who didn't know what he was doing with DOGE (as I've seen some media suggest). He's a lifelong racist who hates black people, wanted to kill some, saw an opportunity to do so, and took it.

I sweated over color like a bad dream. I did try to learn digital art. I hate it. I fretted over it. I questioned my value as a human being over why I couldn't learn it. You'd think I'd find ANY shortcut to the process a real get-out-of-jail-free card. I didn't and I don't. Fuck AI.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, "economic anxiety" and whatnot. At some point your analysis needs to make room for the fact that a lot of people are hateful, racist, and deeply prejudiced against anything that seems even remote different to them.

This drive to rehabilitate the foul racist pig Enoch Powell has been going on literally my entire life. It's ironic because the 'rivers of blood' speech was clearly recognised as racist, and widely condemned as such, including by Tories, at the time. We're being asked to misremember clear history.

This response is understandable, and feels compassionate. I said very similar things about the area that I grew up, which voted heavily for Brexit. But the thing is: these people have been indulged in their ideas â which are racist, and also simply incoherent â for over a decade.
