people get so fired up about cheating, it's wild to me. statistically a lot of people do it... relationships are messy and there are so few real moral absolutes in life. it has to be done well obvi but it's never made sense to me the vitriol some readers have toward it as a plot point. 🤷

moghedien and asmodean. if jonathan rhys meyers weren't a shitbag i'd call on him to play the dark one's liberacci; as it stands i'm dying for just one scene of someone walking into rand's tent in the waste and asmo lounging bisexually on a chair strumming a harp like he hasn't a care in the world.

Trump’s Assault on Trans Rights Has Begun. Here’s What to Watch For. An early executive order shows the White House wants to get into the business of defining sex and gender. That could play out in a few ways.

Trump's promised executive order against "gender ideology" is ugly and dangerous, and also, like everything with Trump, contains few specifics and is meant to terrify people into self-repression. Here's my attempt to refocus on the fight ahead:

The War Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg Are Fighting Isn’t the One You Think It Is A lonely extremist of dogmatic antisocial views has falsely sold himself for decades as a principled capitalist. His biographer explains why Musk’s mask came off—and why Zuckerberg is following suit.

This is a novella.

But if you read it you’ll understand everything you need to know about what Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg are doing right now. I’m a biographer of the first two men, and have chronicled here exactly how and why the third is following their lead.

Again—a long read.

oh wow this is a take i've never heard-- i read the whole cantos in the 90s and loved it, but was a teen so def didn't have the awareness to note anything problematic. i'd already been thinking i should do a reread to see how it holds up, now def going to plan for it in 2025. 🪐📚
