So you publicly accused me of sexual assault and perversion knowing you were lying, and knowing it could damage my reputation.

There's a legal term for that, Leslie. Image
Also, that's absolutely not how karma works.
Blocking me doesn't change what you did, @virtuallyleslie.
Amazing.

Let's be very clear about what just happened, Leslie.

Your partner and clients didn't face fallout for "standing up & defending" yourself.

The fallout comes from you knowingly, deliberately, publicly lying about me, then refusing to apologize even after confessing. Image
That's all I asked for. That you retract, delete, and apologize for the knowing lie you told about me. A lie you knew could damage my reputation and career.

That was not an unreasonable request, and it had nothing whatsoever to do with standing up for yourself.

M'kay. To get everyone caught up on today's complete bullshit, this person spent the last few days cozying up to the criminal cult SWATTing my family, adopting their fake narrative, boosting their lies, until today they falsely accused me of being a sexual predator. Image
No, for real. They just outright falsely accused me of being a sexual predator. Then, after being challenged, they said they knew the accusation was a lie but said it anyway.

This is someone who works as a literary agent, representing other authors just like me. ImageImage
When not making sexual predator accusations they knew to be false, they were RTing accounts run by the same criminals stalking my family.

"Sommerville Dan" is Daniel Mullen of MA. He runs a "podcast" dedicated to their campaign of criminal harassment against us. Image

Friend of ours just posted this.

They're not banned from these states because they pulled a string of bank robberies. Or shot the sheriff, but not the deputy.

They're banned from these states in the "Freest Country on Earth," because the GOP made their existence illegal. Image
Made wearing their favorite clothes illegal.

Made using the public bathroom where they're least likely to be raped illegal.

Made them playing sports illegal.

Made books about people like them illegal.

Made it legal to kidnap children like them from their loving parents.
Made it illegal for doctors to treat them.

MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR DOCTORS TO TREAT THEM.

Paul's foresight of the coming Fremen Jihad and his inability to prevent the avalanche of violence he's forced to set in motion is the WHOLE FUCKING POINT of Dune, Dune: Messiah, and Children of Dune.

The more powerful Paul becomes, the fewer choices he has.

It's not a bug.
Jesus tap dancing Christ. Who is writing these articles?

Paul is backed into a corner. He can save what's left of his family and watch his adopted army set fire to the known universe, or let his House die.

That's the choice his powers give him. And he chooses to live.
And he ultimately regrets that choice. He walks into the desert a blind hermit, only to emerge years later as a street crazy preaching against his legacy and cursing anyone who follows him.

I'm begging you not to let people who didn't read the books write about the books.

"Old" Star Trek doesn't look "Woke" today because the civil rights battles it fought were won so decisively, so overwhelmingly, that nobody questions if it was right or not anymore.

And in 50 years, the "Woke" Star Trek of today will seem just as tame and mundane.
But make no mistake. In the context of the time, og Star Trek was controversial As Fuck. A fully integrated senior crew with Russian, Asian, and black woman officers set in a future society evolved beyond money or material wealth?

In the 60's? Are you kidding me?
PLENTY of people thought Kirk and company were "forcing diversity" down their throats. PLENTY of people complained about the themes of racial, social, and economic justice. They just didn't have YouTube and Twitch channels.

They look like absolute fools today.

There's been a lot of ink spilled over "Deep Fake" tech after Ryan Reynods was impersonated with it for a Tesla ad (please sue them, Ryan). The image quality was crude, but the tech will only improve, and rapidly.

And that's more dangerous than anyone realizes. 1/
So far, most of the public conversation around the potential abuse of deep fake AI tech has centered around public figures, politicians, celebrities, athletes, these sorts of people being made to "endorse" products or ideologies they don't.

This is not the danger. 2/
Public figures are recorded constantly from multiple angles. It would be difficult to take public remarks or speeches and manipulate them in a way the original won't be available to refute the fake.

Private citizens are a very different story, and ha e little defense. 3/
