Next Weds (1/16) at 1530hPT, I'm joining my co-author Rebecca Giblin and our host, Brad Stone, for an @internetarchive/@coil@mastodon.social livecast about our book #ChokepointCapitalism:

It's been more than a decade since I began thrilling to Kate Beaton's spectacular, hilarious snark-history webcomic "Hark! A Vagrant," pioneering work that mixed deceptively simple lines, superb facial expressions, and devastating historical humor:
#5yrsago Congressional Democrats have so little faith in Trump’s leadership that they’ve awarded him the power to conduct limitless, warrantless mass surveillance of Americans theintercept.com/2018/01/12/th…

#5yrsago German steelworkers demand the right to take two years’ worth of “work-life balance” 28-hour work weeks to look after children or aging parents theguardian.com/world/2018/jan…
My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

"Ducks" is one of the best and most memorable books I read last year. It touches on so many of the big problems of our times. I will reread this many times!
@vesperto As noted in my bio, I post long threads from this account and there are many ways to get my essays if you don't like my Mastodon style - RSS, newsletter, Medium, Tumblr, a blog, etc. I recommend unfollowing me here and subscribing to one of those if you prefer. Links at pluralistic.net.
