Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

This is an accountability post for myself.
I _will_ read the new things on my TBR list, from the interesting people I listened to at Brighton
I _will not_ slump, and comfort read Dungeon Crawler Carl book six.

Glenn Powell looks like a PT that you wouldn't trust to train your significant other.
Every session ends with a bizarre stretch where they put their leg onto his shoulder.
He insists its fine, and tries to disarm you by inviting you out for 'brewskies'

Modern Leper by Frightened Rabbit is the best song that most people haven't listened to.

Went to my first finance seminar since world fantasy con today.
The first guy to approach me to network was working on reopening dormant mines, using pneumatic chainsaws - which very much sounds like the sort of WIP people were discussing in Brighton.

On bonfire night every other year, I've worried about the fireworks winding up the dogs and making them bark.
Just had that thought today, and now I'm low-key dreading the conspicuous silence that's gonna follow the sounds.
Remus will be fine, he was always just copying his big-little brother.

Binged all of The Witcher season four while my head is still full of cotton wool and my liver is still pickled in the pints of Easy Street from the weekend.
Sharlto Copley is brilliant as an unhinged, horrible bastard.
Otherwise, it's fine but unremarkable - similar to earlier seasons.

I know scooters are fairly modern, but that's the most medieval-coded insult I've ever heard.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl.
The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.
