Yep. W40k may or may not say something about someone's politics, but the whole combination in the pic is just too much (greentext, "@ImperiumFirst", it's da joos). To dispel any doubt, check his feed: https://xcancel.com/imperiumfirst

On a site whose algorithm likely pushes fascist content it's nothing surprising that two people would come across a popular fascist post.

and I’ve never seen it

I'm not saying you've seen the thread on /pol/ (I found it by searching for the dogwhistle "every single time"), but it's, uh, strange that your post could be replaced with the one from /pol/ and vice versa and they would function the same on both a fascist and on a Marxist-Leninist(?) forum.

I think that the user ImperiumFirst whose banner is this:

and who describes himself as "Political Extremist | America First | Christ is King ✝️", and whose pinned tweet is praising Kanye West for using a swastika, and whose feed is currently filled with Nick Fuentes videos...

...is in fact a fascist and probably a /pol/ user.

Do you follow that guy? Or did the site correctly assume you'd like his tweet?

And yes, the wording, that you're acting is completely neutral, is indeed regularly used by fascists "just noticing" Jewish undermining of the White race, even by the very same profile here:

For a supposed Marxist, you're oddly oblivious to fascist iconography and memes, and uncritical of the content served to you by a fascist-owned website.

Yeah, just w40k and nothing else. 🙄

For a start, read the username of the guy whose tweet OP posted.

A screenshot of Twitter, a site owned by a fascist and populated by fascists, of a tweet by a user called, ahem, "ImperiumFirst", posting in greentext format (which admittedly doesn't have to mean much by itself), with OP's own title being "Every time"... Why does this post feel like it's copy-pasted from /pol/? 🤔

That whole website is incredible.

his publisher told him the descriptions of same-sex behavior in a book on animal sexual behavior were against the law

So it wasn't legally or expressedly banned by the govt. But in authoritarian fear-based and legally unpredictable states it's not unusual for people to individually take rules even further than technically necessary, to affirm their adherence to the system and to be safe from even the smallest suspicion or most ridiculous accusation.

Might be worth noting that the publisher (Eksmo-AST) is one of the biggest book publishers in Russia.

I love how this meme has been reappropriated in a gently self-deprecating way.

I'm not saying you should read them; and I already provided the reasons for reading them above. You can find those reasons compelling or not.

I never mentioned the reviewer being paid. There's many interesting blogs and Goodreads profiles that are worth following too. My impression is, you're drawing an overly sharp boundary between your style of reading and something you imagine is "professional" reading of those who care about reviews.

Analysis and discussion of literary works is only for those "inside" the literary world? But surely everyone who reads is inside the literary world.

It is reasonable to read a book and be interested in other people's different thoughts on it, that hardly requires some sort of specialist knowledge.

That's why I put the quotation marks ;)

Pterosauria is a branch of archosauria, together with dinos and crocodiles. Idk about those in the sea.

 
 

In 1975, Martin met Dune author Frank Herbert at a book convention and they shared a drink. The meeting was “near the end of Herbert’s life,” Martin says. Herbert had written many acclaimed novels, but all fans seemed to want was more Dune. Herbert’s publisher had just offered him a modest advance for a story he wanted to write, or six times that number for another Dune novel.

“He didn’t like Dune anymore and he didn’t want to write any more Dune books,” Martin says. “But he felt locked in by the success of Dune, so he kept writing them.”

Martin finishes … and waits.

I ask: Do you relate to how Herbert felt?

“I’m not necessarily tired of the world [of Ice and Fire],” he says. “I love the world and the world-building. But, yes, I do.”

Béla Tarr passed away on 6 January 2026 after a long and serious illness. We will miss him.

 

The extensive damage means that about 35,000 households will be without electricity until Thursday afternoon, Berlin authorities said in a statement. Power should be restored to other homes by early Sunday.

"Who's to know? [Technology firms] are spending trillions and trillions on AI and maybe it's going to produce the next War and Peace.

"And if people want to read that book, AI-generated or not, we will be selling it - as long as it doesn't pretend to [be] something that it isn't.

"We as booksellers would certainly naturally and instinctively disdain it," Daunt said.

Readers value a connection with the author "that does require a real person", he added. Any AI-generated book would always be clearly labelled as such.
