Literary Loitering 88 - Tales From Fort Peddlesmut: The Big Cocky Dragon Slayer

Don’t trust fairies and other fey creatures like unicorns.

After that public service announcement it’s time for our resident cultural anarchists to venture into the murky dystopia of literature and the arts where they discover racism from the creator of Little House on the Prairie, authors retiring then making comebacks, essays about … essays (and Trump), the rise of Cockybot (pun very much intended), Elon Musk’s ideal utopia, how to defy ISIS with empty cans of date syrup, and a lot of regional words and phrases - some of which are from other countries!
