I'm kickstarting the #audiobook for my next novel, an anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams called *Red Team Blues*. #Amazon's #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free, but crowdfunding makes them possible:

What comes after neoliberalism? "There is no alternative" is really a demand, namely, "Stop trying to think of an alternative!"

The Golden Rule (them what has the gold makes the rules): Dobbs, SVB, the Internet Archive, antitrust and the law's foundation in norms, not consistency.

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers @torbooks and @HoZ_Books, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. 1/

In fact, Audible won't sell *any* of my audiobooks. Instead, I have to independently produce them and sell them through @Kickstarter:

We have an eyewitness testimony, an actual victim of Robert E. Lee's cruelty.

Wesley Norris speaks to us from the grave.

White Supremacists lie.

Listen to actual eye witnesses -- people who were there.

Listen to your African ancestors.

Listen to Westley.

Listen to Olaudah Equiano.

Listen, as they take the stand and denounce The Monster That IS White Supremacy.

Sıradan bir kitapseverin #JamesJoyce’un #Ulysses’i ile 24 senelik imtihanı (1996-2020)... Bu thread benim gibi #Ulysses’e başlayıp başlayıp sonunda bitireceklere adanmıştır. @enisbatur @MeltemGurle @armaganekici

1996’da lise son sınıfta iken @YKYHaber 'in başında @enisbatur vardı ve ilk #Ulysses çevirisini #NevzatErkmen yapmıştı. Kitabın dil oyunlar ile başa çıkabilecek en iyi aday deniyordu. Çünkü hem eşi #Joyce ’un ülkesi #İrlanda ’dandı hem de Zeka Oyunları Takımı’nın başındaydı.

Heyecanla ilk baskıyı satın aldım. Fakat herkes #Ulysses 'in rehber kitap olmadan okunamayacağı görüşündeydi. Nitekim benim de denemelerim başarısız oldu ve anahtar kitabı beklemeye başladım. O esnada üniversite bitti ve İngiltere’ye taşındım.

Glad the New York Times has caught up to what I’ve warned about: mailing in your ballot is playing Russian roulette with your vote. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t. #VoteByMail #VoteByMail2020 #SaveMyVote2020 nytimes.com/interactive/20…

And this year, some Boogaloo schmuck in a Hawaiian shirt will be the poll watcher challenging your ballot. #ElectionDay #Election2020 #Voting gregpalast.com/warning-trump-…

As we've previously reported, a seminal MIT study, Losing Votes by Mail, warns that 22% – more than one in five mail-in ballots – never get counted. #VoteByMail #VoteByMail2020 #PurgeByPostcard #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud #VotingRights #CivilRights

Trump’s surprise 2016 wins in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were the shockers that gave him the White House by a minuscule margin of 77,400 votes — just 0.5% of the vote in those states. gregpalast.com/audiobookoffer/

Trump won Michigan by less than 0.1% — but the exit polls showed he’d lost by 0.3%. In Wisconsin, Trump won the official count by less than 1%, but the exit polls showed Clinton won by a substantial 3.7%. In Pennsylvania, once again: exit polls gave the win to Clinton.

So what happened? (Hint: The Red Shift.)

I am proud of pastors who chose to move to virtual services today! Good choice, sisters and brothers! In this time of isolation there is REAL potential to transform our churches, if we leverage this period as an opportunity to thicken our gospel. 1/ #COVIDー19 #virtualchurch

In his book, Prayer, @FosterEveryday says connection w/ God happens in the silence. Could this be opportunity for national #soulreset? Could it be an opportunity for us to connect w/ God again—through deeper introspection and intentional listening to voices usually overlooked? 2/

I’d like to recommend #fivebooks for pastors to dive into with their congregations over the next 2-3 weeks; while we have the blessing of this national #soulreset. 3/ #COVIDー19 #SocialDistancing

A quote from the former slave and abolitionist and writer Olaudah Equiano, that addresses the atrocities of 18th century slavery.

🎧 Free #AudioBook of "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. (FULL audiobook)

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African, Written By Himself.

Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797)

An interesting observation: Olaudah Equiano came from the Kingdom of Benin. He observed both African and the race-based slavery of Europe.

Ok I just finished my last #Audible #Audiobook. Time to trade them all in and get new ones. For my personal record I am going to tweet all the book, that I have listened to in the last few months. Ok here we go.

Learned more about #JFK than I have in my life. I really enjoyed this one. It's long, but for someone like me that didn't live through that time period, it was good at giving a sense of just how close we came to nuclear war and how JFK avoided it.

Another President I knew barely anything about, #LBJ. This book was really good too. I will probably listen to it again because I would like to be able to retain and repeat some of the stories that prove how corrupt #LBJ (and the Democrats) were. audible.com/pd/B00BFYJQJQ?…
