He feels to me like the Scott Walker of the '28 cycle: The media will try to convince us that he's the inevitable nominee, but he'll bomb with the public so badly that he's out of the race before the primaries even begin.

Robert Goulet as Sweeney Todd

Roughly 80 inches square. My own bed is a twin, and I live in a small apartment, so I don't have anyplace big enough to lay it out flat.

When you’re a weaver, you do a lot of loomscrolling.

Hadn’t read through the entire thread before posting that, but I see that several folks have said essentially the same thing, so maybe it’s not that unhinged after all.

“Literary fiction” is a genre with unspoken rules, tropes, and expectations, and just as much predictably and gatekeeping as any form of what is condescendingly dismissed as “genre fiction.”

And here we have an excellent demonstration of why so few are willing to take position #3. Do so, and you’ll be equated with the fascists, which seems to me a far more fascist position than #3. In almost every case, “You must not say X” will get us to autocracy far faster than X itself will.

There might be a way to be respectful, but I can't see any reason to. The corpse is biodegradable, and that's the most positive thing to be said for the man.

I do think the experiment has failed, and I see no point in pretending otherwise. We had a good long run, though.

Just watched RIVER, thanks to this draft, and adored it!

So it’s another Dem doing something that looks vaguely *like* action but doesn’t actually accomplish a damn thing?

Ouch. Choosing Substack as your platform is a massive blunder.
