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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
