Zohran should create little schools everyone has to go to that teach you to still talk with a 1987 nyc dirtbag accent the way the Irish do with Gaelic

Swerve has the same aesthetic concept of what looks cool as a 22 year old vampire larper and the physical conditioning of that larper’s character. this is why he’s the best pro wrestler in the world

You've got to admire Hillary Clinton's consistency over the years: She's always been out of touch with and contemptuous of the public, and she's always been more than eager to build her political ambitions on the blood of foreigners.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

it should not be taken as a criticism of this comic, which is great, to say that it really should not have hit me as hard as it did

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

you really should read HILD
OTD in 680 CE Hild of Whitby died. Ever year I celebrate. This year by a) showing off my fabulous, specially commissioned snakestone cast in silver to wear as a lapel pin, silver jacket pin cast in silver, and her death
b) my imagined version of her grave marker
Celebrating Hild
On this day in 680 CE Hild of Whitby, patron saint of learning and culture (including poetry) died. I mark her feast day because she marked my life, and my writing, indelibly.

my top 3 can’t-miss movie cliches:
1. huge piece of shit does heroics for their only friend
2. you really should have let this retired violent guy stay retired
3. recurring pair of henchmen
My top 3 can't-miss movie cliches:

1. Old man warns you this place is bad
2. Memorable second-in-command
3. Severe, attractive middle-aged woman is mean and fucked up
My top 3 can't-miss movie cliches:

1. Villain is killed whilst monologuing
2. Crusty, sour older relative gifts super-meaningful heirloom to young protagonist
3. Dog to the rescue!

I got snipped at the last time I went off on Trope Derangement Syndrome…but every time I see one of those graphics I get incredibly sad for my profession. Art is more than the sum of its TV Tropes tags! Our work is not “content!!” Let us not go gentle into that extremely online night!!!
I get why authors are compelled to do it, but few things make me want to read a book/story less than those tropelist pointing to the book marketing banners. I really wish they'd go away, but I guess they Do work as a marketing tactic on more people than they're off-putting to.
