Due to my cat's recent health crisis I was not able to be at the Pittsburgh Zine Fair but I was still able to have my zine, "How To Be Into Ancient Rome Without Being Weird About It" there at our table. Here it is in digital form with the lovely artwork by @tbm.bsky.social in the thread below! 1/4

Pretty obvious that Vance has negatively polarized himself into believing that anyone who holds a single opinion contrary to his own is simply “virtue signaling” and that it couldn’t be an honestly held belief
JD Vance: "How many of you really like turkey?"
Many soldiers raise their hands.

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

Again, I cannot stand Amazon or Bezos. However, because _Strike_ comes out in paperback in 2 months, they are fire selling it in hardback for $2.84. So if you want it, you can indeed get it for the price of a cup of coffee. www.amazon.com/Strike-Labor...

The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?

The brilliant post-liberal solution to the housing crisis is to steal houses from immigrants and redistribute them to citizens.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Surely this will succeed phenomenally now that they're finally designing "with gamers in mind" right? Surely all those people were serious when they said that making the character sexy is what mattered, right?

The pitch for AI really does seem like it all boils down to "Yeah a highly developed service economy seems great and all, but it's really hard to integrate slavery into the mix without losing productivity. What if we could fix that?" And it's just impossible for me to see it any other way

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes
