that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

"This story doesn't need a sandworm"
This is almost always wrong. Arguably, EVERY story benefits from adding a huge subterranean worm with quasi-mystical or semi-supernatural powers, or equivalent (similar to Moby Dick).
Obviously the bigger the worm, the more literary quality it adds.

Is this a thing? Do people not just automatically take their shoes off in other people’s houses? I’ve been walking outside in the street in these. How many dogs have peed on that sidewalk?
“Along with the usual fun, viewers will go into the brownstone at 123 Sesame Street for the first time, instead of just hanging out on the stoop.”
It’s probably one of those houses where they make you take your shoes off.

America already failed the "Don't give the wannabe dictator an extraordinarily well-funded secret police" test. Let's see how we're doing on "The GOP is becoming infested with open Hitler lovers" test!
That the vice president of the United States and new leader of the Republican Party welcomes a coalition with gutter antisemites and racists with outwardly genocidal politics feels like big news!
JD Vance now leads the GOP. And he wants the party to welcome Hitler lovers.
The VP wants peace with gutter racists who spew vile hatred at his wife. And the press refuses to reckon with what this means.

"Are there even any-" it doesn't matter. Banning the few trans athletes isn't the point. The point, from Trump's ban on trans people in government to Britain's bathroom ban to Newsom's sports ban, is to make sure everyone knows trans women are OTHER and to act accordingly to us in their daily lives.

I need everyone to take the time today to learn about incremental change and then consider how much incremental change was flushed down the toilet last November. It took DECADES TO GET WHERE WE WERE.

Every fairy tale is about how the woods are so deadly that we'd rather go hang out with the witch or the beast or the wolf instead.
You can always tell when folks who didn't grow up in nature are getting into a mystical nature kick because they talk about forests like they're these serene, perfect, peaceful places. No friend, nature is scary and tense as fuck and you're looking at a place where things live and die BY THE MINUTE.
