None of this "lingering over prose as the story unfolds" business, we're putting the reader in a trebuchet and launching them at the ending

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported.

In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

A lot of politics today boils down to whether you think Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk, and other historical figures who did things along those lines are heroes or not.

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

Roasted Radishes with Radish Greens Recipe Delightfully bitter radish greens, finished with butter and lemon, are a great addition to radish bulbs that are roasted to remain crisp with tender interiors.

Those are lovely! How do you like to eat giant radishes? My go-to recipe for them is www.foodandwine.com/recipes/roas...

a hippopotamus is standing in a puddle of water next to two crocodiles Alt: A crocodile doing his best to stay calm while a baby hippo noms on him.

I mentioned earlier that they chew on Nile Crocodiles - I wasn't kidding, baby Hippos use them as teething rings since the texture of their scales is satisfying to gum.

Just this 12' long razor-toothed archosaur, sitting there going "stay calm, Clarence, you survived the asteroid, you can do this."

Hey #ttrpg folks. For those that haven't met me, which is a lot of you, my new thing has 24hrs left to make 1 million dollars. For every hour that goal is not met, I will eat a full book, spine and all. This will not kill me--it will make me stronger than ever before.

Do your part. Stop me now!!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green, as Green approaches him wrapped in a pink blanket, scrunching his face in disgust. Green: Euugh ew it's cold in here! Green's face brightens up as Blue suggests a solution. Blue: Do you want me to go boot up my gaming PC? Green: Yes, please. Blue and Green settle around Blue's computer, with Blue sitting in front of the computer's screen, and Green seated right next to the machine itself. Blue: I think I know just the right game for this. The fans of the computer starts whirring as Blue turns it on, and the PC begins to glow faintly orange as it begins to radiate heat. Eyes closed in perfect serene peace, Green soaks in the warmth.
