Hello Bluesky! Now that a) people are really here and b) we have pinned posts allow me to do a brief welcome/shameless-self-promo thread. I'm a multifaceted guy but for the purposes of this account I'm mostly a writer, with a novel I'm chipping away at and shorter works here: notepadexe.medium.com

BREAKING: Scorpion Bites Frog Immediately and Repeatedly
NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

casting Idris Elba would solve this without having to say a word
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

I mostly lost track of SW Insider a long time ago but it was a great vehicle not just for lots of short fiction with no other obvious home, but for tons of up-and-coming writers I respect to see their names in actual print--sad, if perhaps inevitable, to see that go away.

Oh man, what an incredible bummer! So much of my early days as a fan can be attributed to Star Wars Insider. Growing up without internet (or even a computer in the house until the early 00s) it was my primary connection to the larger fandom. Truly an end of an era. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.
