Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why?
So they don't kick in until after the midterms.

I wrote this in response to all the dark, grim, humorless fantasy that flooded the market when GoT was hot on HBO, simply working from the premise, "What if fantasy adventure was fun and not a joyless slog?"
It's not parody, though, just a bit silly.

There is belief. And there is knowledge. What CBS says is that they are going to start emphasizing belief. Sad.

We've established that using gAI to "write" stories makes you a hack and poseur, and using it for promo images or cover art makes you a class traitor to fellow creatives, but using gAI to create an author photo is a special kind of pathetic.

Btw if this sounds like an insane plan for a character arc, the child of Han and Leia no less. Keep in mind one, it was Jacen (one of their children in legends) fate. And that JJ Abrams once said he couldn't fathom his son liking Anakin/Vader.

Not clear when or why. Perhaps as early as TFA filming (there are lines in it that sound like set up for redemption), or as late as early 9 (the end of 8 can at times feel like Rian trying to put him back into full evil) they decided he shouldn't fall completely. 7/?
