Usually apolitical here, but if you're curious, I'm so far left that checking out my politics might give you whiplash.
I have been gently forced to give them more page time as the series progressed.

Don't give away all my secrets, CT!

LOL.
That seems nicer, which is really kind of weird.

I literally found an ad on reddit.
I do NOT recommend this method generally, though it worked incredibly well for me (I love my editor).

Like, I'm an adult. You don't need an hour of screentime to convince me that the child-molesting villain truly deserves the ass-kicking he gets at the end.
Just state the words "child-molesting." Or hint at them. You don't have to show me a scared kid, it won't make the ending better.

That was a golden era of low-medium budget adventure television. We'll never see another Xena in my lifetime.

It’s 🦖 and 🦕 for me all the way, if I could get my Time Machine™️ to work successfully.

So I’m going to have to nominate @jcmberne.bsky.social’s “Partial Function” for today’s prompt, though I confess I have yet to read it 🫢🫣 Oopzi! 😰

Thank you for the nomination! Not sure it qualifies as history . . . but not sure it doesn't.

Very efficient!

It's given me new criteria for blocking acquaintances on social media.

Conservatism, and any type of nationalism, desperately needs NYC to be a hellscape because otherwise it is active proof that their fundamental premise (that people thrive only in homogeneous communities) is false.
The fact that there has never been widespread racial violence in NYC shows the lie.
