Please keep doing this, because those of us resisting here need the people we are fighting to feel as much pain as possible. Keep the pressure on and stay strong. And yeah, the food from here isn’t safe anymore, so do it for your own health too.

Cringing in Legal Knowledge. The poor child. How the state has decided to abdicate on the combined issues of chiropractic fraud, food regulation, and child welfare is beyond me. Every part of this is just so, so wrong.

Up until very recently indeed, airlines were the only businesses that I dealt with regularly that practiced "price discrimination," charging different customers different prices for the same seats.

I’ve been appointed as the AI SME at my work because my hatred of AI has made me the foremost expert on it in my department. I think I need to drop some coffee creamer into this bitter irony before I can drink it, but at least I’m positioned to do a truly great Cassandra impression.

The other gods are going to be a bit wary of the hero, but honestly, if you made a hero that powerful upset enough to cut you off from their world, you aren’t doing the diety job very well. Gods are pretty complacent and none of them see themselves in the bonehead that just got limited.

In my setting, gods are the embodiment of ideas. “Killing” a god means taking away their ability to answer prayers and manifest on that sphere of that plane. The idea still exists. The god could be “resurrected” by an epic quest to restore their connection. Someone else could take over their duties.

Pangolin in-skin roast with bean-gravy boba and headless matchsticks. It’s a diet food, because it is so inedible that for a day or two you won’t be able to eat anything else without gagging at the memory of this travesty.

I have to agree. I’ve been trying to write some short fiction, and the explanation of the villain’s motivations feels like telling instead of showing. I’m doing better when I describe the actions and how they look while doing the things that they do. Tragic backstory implied but not told is better.

Too many so called “progressives/liberals“ are neither progressive nor liberal minded. Progressive, by definition doesn’t mean backtracking on rights. You cannot call yourself progressive or liberal if you are not protecting the most vulnerable of people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids

On the one hand, very “It wasn’t a robbery, it was a drug deal” vibes here. I would routinely have clients insist that admitting to drug trafficking as their defense would somehow be exculpatory. On the other hand, this is very much a “no, if I drown I’m pulling you down with me.” So, yeah, ok.

Newsom, like Cuomo, is a special kind of blue state jackass who'd be a Republican if he lived in a red state. There's no path to power for him as a Republican in California, so he's cosplaying as a Democrat and corrupting the party as a result. Remember: he loves billionaires and hates you and me.

Susan Collins is corrupt, the FBI probably had her, but Trump made the investigation go away? Collins’ actions show she’s been on board with the corrupt, anti-democracy ideological project since at least 2017—while pretending to be “concerned” about it—but a personal angle too fills in some blanks.
