In response to:

"I think I am going to have all my pants convrted to support button-based suspenders!"

Dear Dr. Freemo: I just checked on the health aspects of wearing belts versus suspenders and suspenders a by far more healthy!

Sincerely, Monica Andrews, Editor-in-chief, #FreePeoplesFreePress News

Are suspenders healthier than belts?

The answer is: Definitely! Belts, and tight pants for that matter, act as a tourniquet on your gut, displacing and restricting blood flow to internal organs and causing fat to get stuck in the torso rather than settling in the buttocks and legs.

I think I am going to have all my pants convrted to support button-based suspenders!

My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, 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."

Indie bookstores can change your life. In 2007, I wandered into NYC's St Marks' Bookstore (RIP) and picked up a book from the recommended table: "How to Cheat at Everything," by Simon Lovell (RIP), and I learned how to spot a scam. It's a skill I use every day, especially when analyzing how corporate America works the US government:

Remember, if you've used a technology since 2009, you can now claim your experience "spans three decades" (00's, 10's, 20's) even if you're just in your 20's now.

So some scammer on FB just tried to tell me if I invest 1500$ in their system I'll have 15000$ in 4 days. a 10x profit in 4 days investing in their trading platform...

Of course I told them they were an idiot and not just lying but dont know basic math. With those returns if someone invested a single dollar it would take only 45 days for them to be the richest person on the entire planet... Jesus christ how did people get so stupid.

Was playing with my son on Saturday when he said the words every weird hacker dad wants to hear: “Papa, let’s make robots out of garbage!”

In my 2017 novel WALKAWAY, there's a scene where the protagonists get into a self-driving car owned by a ruthless plutocrat, only to discover that it moves faster than any other vehicle they've ever ridden.

The plute explains that he's done an illegal mod that lets him override the lane-change safety margins and pay fines for it - an illustration of the principle that "a fine is a price."

If you’re looking for your next domain, maybe consider not using .io as the TLD. The colonial history and status of the British Indian Ocean Territories is… quite terrible.

The UK colonisers forcibly removed the Chagossians from their homeland to create an empty island for a U.S. military base. They still aren’t allowed to return.

The Ogoni 9

In 1995, 9 activists were murdered in Nigeria by the military, for protesting against the impacts of Shell’s oil production.

There were arrests, followed by torture. For example, Baribor Bera, was forced to swallow his teeth after being beaten. This is not a movie. This really happened.

Shell knew and enabled the executions.

No one was ever held responsible.

~Full report by Amnesty International~

What 1O years of brutal & unlawful political persecution has done to a truthful & courageous multi-award journalist!
