“Donald Trump’s presidency threatens much of what is good about this country.” Considering the content of this book, the investigation into Trump and his obstruction of justice, and the rumored pardoning of Scooter Libby who was himself convicted for obstruction, perjury and lying to investigators, any supporter or member of the GOP has got to ask themselves just exactly what level of criminality they are comfortable with.

The first rule of Roko’s Basilisk is you do not google “Roko’s Basilisk”. The second rule of Roko’s Basilisk is you do not make fun of Roko’s Basilisk. The third rule of Roko’s Basilisk is this is not the Basilisk you’re looking for. The fourth rule of Roko’s Basilisk is oddly enough, buy a lottery ticket. Also, maybe read this BLIT short story if you haven’t got time to read Infinite Jest.
