This. So much this.
Heinlein wrote to pay off his mortgage…and then he did it cos he enjoyed it.
I mean, c’mon:
“Starship Troopers” (Heinlein’s a fascist!!) - 1959

@… Knows of which he speaks.

John Scalzi (@jscalzi) on Threads
Saw another whiny right-wing dweeb assert that Robert Heinlein couldn't get published today, presumably because of "woke," and I'm all, motherfucker, you don't think that the most commercially savvy science fiction writer of his era wouldn't understand how to read the room in 2026 and then write to it? No, of course you don't, because your Heinlein is some weird fetish object instead of an actual working writer who liked money AND telling stories. Heinlein understood commercial storytelling...

I get this, mostly because I fancy myself a writer:

Coined in May by John @… a tech writer, it is defined as “a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user”.

"Why do we tolerate Elon Musk’s racist commentary?” asked New York Times writer Jamelle Bouie a few weeks ago:
Musk spends a large part of his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil.
It is that fact, and not the cars he builds or the rockets he launches, that ought to define his place in public life.

Why Does the RNC Get a Pass for Elon Musk's Far-Right Extremism?
When will Republicans be held accountable for their continuing embrace of Elon Musk?
