There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

I was pretty sad about hearing about Naomi Wolfe, so I had to Google it and realized I was thinking of Naomi Klein.

Matt Taibbi was a bit of a disappointment.

The grift is lucrative. I guess I should be surprised the number of people you can squeeze money out of it before they get wise but it just doesn't seem to run out.

Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.

I went through the exact same experience with the Klein/Wolfe mixup.

And, Klein has what sounds like a fantastic book coming out right now that was triggered by the confusion.

Check out some of her recent interviews on Qanon Anonymous, Conspirituality, and On the Media podcasts. She is a really shrewd person.

The wolf/Klien confusion is the subject of klien’s latest book, doppelgänger.

If it’s Klien it’s fine.

lol I'll use that mnemonic from now on. I didn't know it was such a common error!

The book is out, I'm definitely going to read it. Thanks!

I can’t take credit. I have up on both Naomi’s until I read the articles on Klein’s new book.

Well, it's pretty tragic for Naomi Wolf, as well. Although I'm glad we kept Klein.
