Is it just me or does #Trump and the #EpsteinFiles thing totally give #illuminati vibes?

An evilly mad and sinister oligarch attacking and kidnapping the elected leader of a South American oil rich nation sounds like it should be part of the plot of a classic James Bond movie but I guess if you elect an evilly sinister and mad oligarch to be #POTUS then it can become a reality.
Stranger Than Fiction marked a turning point for Will Ferrell, revealing a more dramatic side of his work.

Released in 1994 on the album with the same name, Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction, like most of their songs, is incredibly relevant over 20 years later.
Life is the crummiest book I ever read, there isn't a hook, just a lot of cheap shots, pictures to shock and characters an amateur would never dream up. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

Exactly!
A few years ago @cstross had to put the third novel of a near-future Scottish police procedural trilogy on the back-burner because reality was outrunning fiction in the stupid/insane race (what with Brexit and other shenanigans going on at the time).
I can't even imagine what an author trying to write something set in near-future USA - or even anywhere in NATO or the EU, really - is going through right now. "Burn your quill and take up day-drinking" starts looking like a *moderate* reaction.
This caught my eye. Lynx are still around in Alaska and Canada. I was quite excited to see one in the wild a few years ago. But Scotland?
At the end of the article, it mentions that other long extirpated animals, wild boar and beavers, have been illegally released also. (Recaptured, I assume)
Now my imagination has some shadowy Scottish cabal plotting against their environmental regs... Feels like a novel.
So, #MAGA is actually a concept predicted (invented?) by #OctaviaEButler about 30 years ago
Who would’ve thought it!
"I am a #novelist; I make things up for a living. In my trade it would be considered malpractice to make up Jarod Koopman. You just do not give your protagonist a set of attributes that includes black belts, vintage trucks, sommelier certificates, tattooed biceps, a wholesome, all-American rural family and a deeply consequential yet uncelebrated and under-remunerated career in #global #cybercrime."
