RAWIllumination.net: Chicago area news site covers new Robert Shea book www.rawillumination.net/2025/10/chic...

Huh. I had no idea Robert Shea lived in nearby Glencoe. www.therecordnorthshore.org/2025/10/08/p...

Nice writeup of my new Robert Shea book: www.therecordnorthshore.org/2025/10/08/p...

Quality can count, too, for an audience as well as numbers. This is a good post, and the artwork at the blog also is reliably good.

Without giving further notice as to where they have moved, both Bobs have changed their cosmic address. Fortunate for those staying behind and all newcomers, Hilaritas Press continues to publish the books of Robert Anton Wilson, and recently, a new book by Robert Shea: "Every Day is a GOOD Day." ⭐️✨

By @r-michael-johnson.bsky.social: "A speculative essay on how Robert Anton Wilson MIGHT have been an influence on Thomas Pynchon. Wilson was in awe of Pynchon and was influenced by him; of course we know bupkis about most of Pynchon’s influences." overweeninggeneralist.substack.com/p/notes-on-r...

Overweening Generalist reviews the book „Every Day Is A Good Day“ by Robert Shea, edited by Tom Jackson. Been running a bit amok lately in purchasing loads of books. I wanted to restrain myself for the rest of 2025. I think this one will be (yet another) exception open.substack.com/pub/overween...

Michael Johnson asks over at his excellent Overweening Generalist (OG) Substack. I ask myself this question quite often. The hope to (re-)discover cool, interesting, far out stuff is my main reason to even bother with social media. This is a refreshing wellspring! overweeninggeneralist.substack.com

It's too early to tell how well my new book will do, a collection of pieces by "Illuminatus!" co-author Robert Shea, but I already have succeeded in getting a well-written and thoughtful review. Thank you, Michael Johnson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Every Day is a Good Day by Robert Shea, edited by @jacksontom.bsky.social - Review by @r-michael-johnson.bsky.social - open.substack.com/pub/overween...

Briefly breaking my break from social media, as I see this Robert Shea anthology is now available (ed. Tom Jackson @jacksontom.bsky.social). Aside from his co-authorship of Illuminatus!, I'm not too familiar with Shea's work. But the blurbs here seem warmly endorsing: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FQRNL8VP

A collection of Robert Shea's writing came out today. I blurbed it. Check it out here: www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-it...

Republicans have long cast themselves as defenders of free speech against cancel culture and the censorial impulses of the political left. But now conservatives apparently see no problem policing speech, at least when they're the ones who are offended. reason.pub/46fkP2Z

When the FCC pressured Disney to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air, it crossed the line from free choice to government coercion, explains Cato’s constitutional expert Thomas Berry. Free speech thrives on open debate – not on threats from those in power.

If you're in eastern Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire and love silent film with live accompaniment, save the date: I'll accompany Buster Keaton's _The General_ at the Plaistow Library on July 22 at 6:00 PM.

When I signed up on Bluesky, I wanted to make it an oasis for talking about silent movies and classical music while staying clear of politics. Unfortunately, the USA has sunk so rapidly that this isn't an option now. We all have to speak out.
