I have heard it said that beholders are Lovecraft-mythos-style abominations, with the psyche of actual HP Lovecraft. Some musings on beholders and their racism, Lovecraft's cat and the eigenslur, and ultimately why perhaps not to do it this way.

Our original sin was not hanging Jeff Davis and Robert Lee.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

The part where a character was literally punching his own depression in the face, repeatedly and extensively? Satisfying.
The part where punching the depression just made it worse, and the problem was in fact solved with hugs? Spoke to me on a spiritual level.

with someone with an ego of his size, he *cannot* view himself as a child molester. That is a kind of thing that he cannot be and retain his ego, therefore it must not be true

I think it’s also that his friendship with Epstein came during the time he was considered a loser and a joke. Jeff the New York financier had more pull and power than him; he was the hanger-on, the person playing second kiddie-fiddler.
