Allen Brunsonallenbrunson@mastodon.worldOct 11, 2026, 1:44 PM@davidgerard he was a fabulist from the very beginning. he couldn’t just write about stuff, he had to craft it into a NARRATIVE, where he’s telling you important information that NOBODY ELSE HAS REALIZED. and in his later years, he resorted to straight-up lying.

@allenbrunson that's very unfair, he lied in his early years too
