I can't help but feel I experienced the world in microcosm on the way to the shop today.
I saw a queue of cars stuck trying to enter a single lane tunnel. I thought the roadworks on the other side must have caught everyone out with the different traffic lights.
Then I got closer. 1/9

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Hello new followers and happy new year! We're just twelve days away from the launch of my first epic fantasy, SISTER WAKE, everything you've ever wanted in a book;
(provided what you want is Irish myth, colonial revenge and two hundred foot Celtic goddesses with a grudge.
I hope to see you there!

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

I will never stop thinking about how cool it was that their wings folded in the front and looked like capes when they did. Such a clever character design.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

FINALLY a judge is pointing it out explicitly.
The behaviour of Enoch (& the other Burkes) is a clear safety concern.
Genuinely, how far off are they from rationalising violence as appropriate to their cause?

I read these books when I was 15, thanks to the ‘zon algorithm, and in retrospect I was too young for them.
But they still definitely imprinted on me. Karla meant a lot as a lesbian in such a rigid society.
