A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

At exactly 0 times in my entire adult life have Democrats in Congress done what's actually necessary to hold Republicans accountable. I'm hoping this streak will be broken starting in January. But it's easy to see why Republicans think they can just keep getting away with it.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

Please enjoy this weird ass book of mine (once it's up for purchasing) about the relationship between an agoraphobic vampire and his grocery delivery driver. In the meantime, a perfectly normal snippet for you:

The idea of having mice again is almost exciting. A little something to break the monotony.
The knob on the back door rattles and my hope shatters.
Not a mouse.
No mouse on earth can turn a door knob.

it is REALLY easy for folks to 'do the right thing' when they are getting bombarded with bad press. so in my mind i thought 'well, if they REALLY want to grow and learn, we can see if they REMEMBER this and actually care when the smoke clears and nobodys looking.' i have not been invited back.

Working on an action scene and just had this thought: There should always be an answer to "What's going on in this fight scene?" that's more interesting than "These guys are trying to beat each other." It could be a character thing, a tactical thing, a stakes thing—so many possible answers!

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

You aren't a writer if you're asking a puke machine to spit out ideas modeled after books people like me actually wrote. The EASIEST part of the job is the idea. That's why real writers are asked 1700 times if they want to "go halfsies" on someone else's idea while the writer does the labor.

We live in an increasingly isolationist culture that encourages you to be emotionally stunted. Books and stories should be about experiencing minds different from yours. They should expand your empathy and emotional intelligence. But that doesn't happen if the reaction is constantly this:

This sums up my own experience in recent years. My theory is that there are so many genuine existential crises right now that people's instinct is to treat even low-stakes issues (movies! fandoms! personal preferences!) like existential crises. Makes having a normal conversation almost impossible.

This is part of what I'm referring to with many people demanding stories that reassure them they're a good person. They want the moral instruction because otherwise, rather than processing the reading experience, there's a thrum of "am I bad? am I bad? what if someone finds out I'm bad?"

Tumblr post by graftini:

stories about abuse are allowed to exist without reducing themselves to moral instruction. i think sometimes when people complain about the “romanticization” of abuse, what they're actually objecting to isn't necessarily the way abuse is being represented, but the fact that the representation doesn't provide them with constant moral reassurance. like, there is a difference between “this story frames abuse as desirable or inherently romantic” and “this story depicts abuse in an erotic/ambiguous/complicated way and doesn't repeatedly tell me that abuse is bad, therefore the depiction itself is irresponsible.”
