I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy
Nobody should join the military.

Can we get this trending?
The #scifi and the #gothic have always been entwined. Chinese ideas of the gothic is its own thing, and has long inspired SF writers in China. I'll be at the Mufant Museum in Turin on 23.11 to talk about how they blend into Chinese genre fiction, and Sinophagia, which is now out in Italian! #books

It's not terrifying if you've known more than, say, 3 veterans, or a police officer, or worked in an ED. Or been abused. Most people, I do believe, are decent and compassionate but that's not at odds with the fact that many are also capable of things you may not be able to imagine.

Chuck Schumer should resign, but that's honestly my second choice

The GOP has an opportunity to demonstrate it has its own "Muslim socialist" while still declaring to the world it hates democracy and loves strongmen

Come on, America, jump the shark

Either stupid or complacent
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

You choose what to get angry about

I'm fine with genocide being one of my red lines; nobody gets a genocide pass
Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

If John Wick was a leadership Dem there would have only been one movie, about 15 minutes long, about a real sad guy with a dead wife and a dead dog, cut to black, roll credits

This is a thread about a hostage situation.

It might remind you of other situations.
A few years ago, a client and I were at a settlement conference. Landlord was suing my client for an eviction, and we had a counterclaim because the eviction was blatantly racially discriminatory and landlord made no effort to hide that fact.

Yes, I definitely think of the left when I think of emotional outbursts and objections to limits and boundaries

Remind me who's randomly blowing up boats in the gulf they renamed after themselves?
It is turning to what Americans call “anti-bedtime leftism”, when any of society’s obligations is greeted in the same way a toddler reacts to bedtime
If Labour cranks up income taxes, the left will boo loudest
Many seem to believe in the common good without shared sacrifice

What makes the Democrats liberal?

Is it the donors?
Is it the learned party elders, the wise electoral veterans who believe in the promise of liberal ideas?

Is it the public?

The first keep it capitalist
The second don't exist

Of course it's the fucking public, that is *if* we push them

I am very proud of the Democratic Party for proving again that even under fascist assault, they can poop their pants on national television and demonstrate that embarrassing elderly failures can change the world

Poop your pants
Lecture the young
Die too late

So I re-read The Black Company as a (slight) palate cleanser between Claw of the Conciliator and Sword of the Lictor

Generally, it's good

I don't remember 82 so I don't know how it hit scifi readers and won't claim to. It reminds me of The Forever War which I like. All in a character's voice

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers

Re: George RR Martin

I know a few years back he got a lot of shares because he was like "I write women like people" and hashtag yassssking but, as far as GoT goes, he seems to think women are princesses, queens, and sex workers

He sure can't write a basic pauper and idk, that's a huge blindspot
Unfortunately one of his greatest failures, and the failures of his projects intended goal of subverting tropes, is that he completely disinterested in non aristocrats.

The long Kazakh-Israeli war is over

HE'S DONE IT AGAIN FOLKS 👏 🙌 🇺🇸
In a demonstration of how pathetic and meaningless the Abraham Accords are, the Trump administration is going to announce tonight that Kazakhstan is joining them.

The only problem is that Kazakhstan has had full and formal relations with Israel since 1992.
