Love the charts. I wish people were more curious about why people's lived reality doesn't match up with the charts, because nothing is more frustrating to poor people than feeling like they're being gaslit by exasperated Democrats
Everyone has utterly lost the plot about the actual material state of the economy. It's as if the last 4 years did not happen. Denial of the shape of the earth. There's really no other conclusion other than that nothing actually matters anymore. We're through the looking glass into pure vibes.
Just to Start, since this is a member of my discipline either obfuscating the truth or forgetting it: The cost of shelter has risen much faster than the cost of the items used to measure inflation (usually a 'basket of goods')

Quebec's government is about to introduce a new secularism law which will ban the niqab on campus, campus prayer spaces and daycare workers and ECE students from wearing religious symbols. All to try and save their racist asses in the polls.

Today, the Coalition Avenir Québec is introducing, An Act respecting the reinforcement of laicity in Québec (the name is better in French, surely).

This whole project of “secularism” in Québec is racist bullshit and I loathe it.

They're not evangelists, they are certainly not experts, they're nothing but the increasingly standard blend of con men and dodgy salesmen.
So why do we afford them so much uncritical coverage, why do we allow them to lobby and advise governments, and why do we let them write their own policies?

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

if I had to choose between "being able to comfortably support myself and my family through my writing" and "actually making a difference with my writing" I would be deeply conflicted. thankfully, neither of those things is actually on the table so this is more of a goku vs superman kind of situation

For me, it makes more sense to acknowledge that kids were bullied & rejected for a variety of reasons & say that the people who were bullied need to go through a healing process & not use that as an excuse to become a coon than to insist that the bullied individual must have somehow deserved it.

If you consider random NPC dialogue "boring and unimportant" and you're okay with relegating that to gen AI, frankly I can't trust that the rest of your narrative is any good either.
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

The most reactionary anti-immigrant policy in my lifetime cannot fail it can only be failed, both the absence and presence of violence against the state are seen as justifications for its continued and expanded brutality.
