There's now 80,000 homeless people in Ontario.

There's 15 billionaires with a total wealth of 86.9 billion dollars.

Failed, oligarch state we live in.

Ann Telnaes says her Washington Post editor
refused to print this cartoon depicting tech billionaires, including Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, paying homage to Trump. The free press is disappearing before our eyes. Brava to Telnaes for resigning in protest. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

Nosferatu was a solid 7/10 for me. Gorgeous shots, incredibly atmospheric, solid acting and effects.

The Witch (my favourite Eggers flick) held my attention throughout, and The Northman dripped with rage and ferocity, Nosferatu dragged on a bit too long for my taste. I felt bored at times.

It’s so fun to have a true, genuine folk hero emerge in 2024. A mysterious stranger whose action represents the frustrations, hopes, and dreams of the people. I hope we never learn anything more about him.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

HOW TO TELL IF OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR MUSIC FROM YOUR SPEAKERS WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN NATURE, a thread

1. They don't.

just repeating the phrase "hawk tuah girl meme coin" over and over until my brain is as smooth as a polished stone

A paragraph from Ta-Nehisi Coates' book The Message, which reads: "It may seem strange that people who have already attained a position of power through violence invest so much time in justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims. And so a story must be told, one that raises a wall between themselves and those they seek to throttle and rob."

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.

I won't be shedding any tears for a guy paid $10,000,000 a year to run a company that denies people cancer treatment in order to further enrich shareholders.

I submit my cat application. It’s very strong.

Fuck, this goes hard.

Have to love the confused question of “lack of coverage?”
You can feel the rich, 1% percenter confusion seeping through the quote.

And Jesus entered the temple and said to the money changers, "You are an important part of the local economy and I'm looking forward to working with you"

Who among us hasn’t dreamt of slowly descending down a stone spiral staircase with a torch in hand and discovering a hidden candlelit library filled with thousands of centuries-old novels and being welcomed by a cantankerous yet endearing library ghost?

That sound sound fun as hell. Applying all those debuffs then unloading grenades or whatever is your main damage sounds amazing.

That's the one!

I have a love for honestly a not great (but fun!) movie called The Skulls with Joshua Jackson which scratched that itch for secret societies and horrible people hehe, and that eventually led me to The Secret History which is excellent.

I gloss over more, however if the item is integral to the character, and I think will learn more about them from the description of it, then I find that very engaging.

I read The Secret History this year, what a great novel.

Short story writers absolutely must be aware of The (Submission) Grinder tool at: thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com
It's the best place to find open markets.

(it's possible you will also be crushed by the 98% rejection rate graphs, but we're writers, we survive off the smallest of hopes 🤣)
#writing

Same energy as demanding a writer pay a submission fee to a magazine. 🤮🤮🤮

Ohh that sounds like a great plan. Yeah, going in blind the first playthrough is the way to go. I've been thinking of:
-Invoker Monk focusing on cold dmg (maybe flicker strike?)
-Blood Mage Ignite (big crits, big ignites...profit?)

Any other Path of Exile players out there? What build are we thinking for POE2 this weekend???

I write some horror! Also a lot of other genres too, but horror has a special place in my heart.

I was looking over my folders of about half a dozen 15-20k “false starts” of novels and just shaking my head last night.
