AMERICANS showed up late to WWII, but we did show up and we've never stopped bragging like we alone saved the whole world.
Has anyone considered how utterly insufferable we get to be after we celebrate our 250th by having a second revolution against tyranny?

INCOHERENT SCREAMING BECAUSE OH MY GOD NO ONE ELSE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER HAS ALSO READ THIS BOOK!
What's a book—or series of books—that you loved as a kid that almost nobody seems to read or even remember nowadays?

Oh, look at that. It's $400,000,000 now. Last time I heard about it, it was still only $300,000,000.

Blue State Dems to the world: Trump doesn't represent us! He lost the popular vote! He gamed the electoral college! He's wildly unpopular with most Americans! 😭

Firstly, everything this guy touches turns to shit, so this is obviously a boondoggle, but also, a triumphal arch is built to commemorate a victory after war... so... what war did he win?

🚨SERIOUSLY? Donald Trump’s brain is literally broken: “We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.”
An ARCH. He’s building an ARCH.
And more importantly, WHY????

I can't buy a lottery ticket within three hours of home because the AL GOP will not permit a ballot referendum to legalize gambling. Why?
It would be far too popular, and drive voter participation to intolerably high levels, which hurts their majority, according to the AL GOP Chairman John Wahl.

I agree, most enthusiastically. I think the whole society would benefit tremendously if people began thinking of costs in terms of "hours of labor" rather than dollars.
In fact, this is EXACTLY what we did in homeschool yesterday!

Anyone else finding new/deeper appreciation for Kurt Vonnegut right now?
I really shouldn't have tried this as a youth. I wasn't ready yet. As a forty-something whose been through some shit, living through these times, though. That's when ol' Kurt's words leap from the page and scream truths.

Damn, it's fun to create stories.
To picture a character, in a room, talking, and say, what does the room look like, how did he get there? What's on the other side of the window if he looks through it?
...what is his relationship with his father like, and does he love anyone other than himself?

Politics the first forty years of my life: Democrats are the Rich Fuckers who understand where the money comes from well enough to patch the leaks in capitalism with a few socialist bandaids, and Republicans are the Rich Fuckers so racist they'd rather sink than row alongside a black man. 1/2

We needed economic data for a homeschool thing today. I had to tell the kids to use either 2024 alone or an average of the last 25 years for most data points to avoid The Trump Effect messing with our numbers.

Well, good, then they will vote for him? Looking for the problem with Crockett running, but all I'm getting is "she appeals to a larger number of constituents in the district that votes for this seat so its not fair she's running for it", and, my guy, I hate to tell you what an election is, but...
Talarico has transcendent appeal because he can use the Bible to push progressive policies. A lot of Texans care about the Bible. A lot of Hispanic and black Texans care about the Bible.

Oh, this is easy with my WIP, because the city in which it takes place literally consumes people to sustain itself.
Howdy, #DecemberWorldbuilders! What are some symbiotic or parasitic relationships that occur in nature in your world? Feel free to interpret this one broadly and talk about a character with a parasitic personality, if you prefer😁 Don't worry, I'm not grading you on how much biology is in your world!

I put my fleece-lined stretchy pants on backwards this morning. They fit better. I must now confront very high likelihood that backwards is in fact forwards and I have been wearing these pants incorrectly the whole time.

I read that paper, or at least the first few paragraphs of it. If THAT is college-level writing, we are well and truly fucked as a country and the Chinese are definitely going to win the war. 😬

Living through the collapse of empire is me, eyeballing my heaping scoops of coffee grounds, and pausing to consider whether I will have to give up coffee or chocolate first. When the inevitable but totally avoidable inflation forces us to make cuts, coffee will be the last luxury I give up.

Dang, this whole thread gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, I feel better about myself as a homeschooler to hear my frustrations echoed by professional educators at all levels. It's not just me utterly failing my kids, it's their whole generation and our society is doomed! Oh. Wait. Dang.
It's like they just keep...forgetting? Or they read the instructions and completely disregard them, even knowing that they can't pass the assignment without demonstrating really clear skills (citing material, writing on a course text, etc.). They just...don't do it. And don't seem to care.

worst forest/trees problem in generations is that a canto is A SECTION OF A LONG POEM. THAT'S IT. YOU DIDN'T WRITE A CANTO BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THE WORD LOOKED COOL ON YOUR MEMOIR. CANTOS ARE POEMS. THAT LANGUAGE IS DYNAMIC DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SLAMBOOK A CANTO AMERICAN OR OTHERWISE

One can't even consider publishing until they have something to consider publishing, right?
While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏

...because every single woman in his orbit is one of those Serena Joy bitches who, even if she isnt an outright moron herself, will enforce the subjugation of women because it gives them a little power over others.
It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.
