     @adam The annoying thing about Mensch is that most novelists—which she can reasonably claim to be—get their attention fix from fans of their work. They don't need to spray the rest of us with conservative politics or weird conspiracy theories.

     @cstross Her congressional bid didn’t get anywhere. Now I think she’s trying a liberal-criticizing-the-left gambit, probably hoping to get into Bari Weiss’s circle and enjoy some wingnut welfare.
