A post on John Scalzi's website.
A book written by "an obvious rabid liberal," you say, Mr. Internet shithead who obviously meant it as an insult? And this new book is going to be even "worse" in that regard? Well, damn, that sounds like something that would be right up my alley.
More seriously, it's still a problem that needs to be rectified that I follow John Scalzi and read just about everything he (and his daughter) writes on his blog these day, but I so far have read only one of his full novels and one short story. I have a couple other things of his on my Kindle as well, but I haven't read them yet, for whatever reason. One of these days, I need to get around to reading everything else.
(Also, in a semi-related issue, I just found out that I can no longer access my Amazon/Kindle/etc. account on this computer, at least for the time being, because when I try to log in, it wants me to verify a thing that they send to my phone, but I'm never receiving the thing they send to my phone. I can log in just fine to the related apps on my fucking phone, though, without them needing to send a verification code to my phone or whatever. [EDIT] And then, over two hours later, all at the same time, I got a whole bunch of "Oh noes, someone with your password is trying to sign-in to your account!" texts. No fucking shit, Sherlock. It was me trying to sign-in to my account. [/EDIT] [EDIT 2] Okay. *weary sigh* This time when I tried to connect to my Amazon account via this computer, because I had installed the "Amazon Shopping" app on my phone after the above, instead of sending [or, rather, failing to send] a verification thing directly to my phone via text, they sent a verification thing to that app, and I was able to verify that, fucking yes, it was in fact me trying to log into my own account. So that's sorted, finally, at least. But then, the reason I wanted to log in in the first place is no longer necessary, so whatever. [/EDIT 2])
