But the ones that could have galvanized the people and brought real change? Definitely shot.
Now comes a list of all the heroic people who weren't shot...
That world had real heroes that inspired people.
All of our heroes were shot.
“Where’s my reboot?!”
I'd watch it all from the beginning if I could.
Nonfiction works best for me if the writer is also a good storyteller. Malcolm Gladwell is a great storyteller.
But a bunch of interesting facts with a little connective tissue is not a story.
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg was another good one. Lots of great stories in that one.
I may need to reread Ezra Klein's Why We're Polarized. I feel like I didn't retain much.
Or... maybe I need to find a better book on the subject?
I doubt the subject has even come up on conservative media. They just don't know the truth and want to squash the dems.
I see a full Mignolaverse read-through in my future.
Can't wait to read it!
Mine at last!
I would have waited a thousand years for these!

Yeah. Young people think we run the world, but we were never in control.
And somehow it’s my generation’s fault.
How long have Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner had their own podcast?

Eat a cookie!
A most harrowing experience!
MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.
Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Some intelligent writing — on the internet!!! — in this thread.
It all makes sense if you consider all these idiots care about is making good television. "Good" is debatable but they probably are getting the ratings.
It's nice having other people to think about.
Like when you're browsing the bookshelves and you think, "I wonder if they'd like this...?"
Maybe "acts of service" or "gifts" are my love language?
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Vol. 8
People tend to come together when there's no other choice.
Think you'll watch the movie when you finish the manga??
When you feel like you constantly have something to prove but are always falling short, and everyone simultaneously knows it, judges you for it, and doesn't care.
My sister took my old TV to the dump. It was pre-flatscreen, but I was still reluctant to part with it.
It had a combo VHS/DVD player.
It's all timing. They boycotted Target at the height of their discontent. They literally needed something to target.
This year's journal is up to 70 pages.
No, you can't read it.
(For perspective, this amounts to multiple prior years' efforts combined.)
I still fall into traps, like wanting my friends to validate me in ways that make my flaws feel less real.
But that’s not their job--it's mine. I'm the one who needs to work on myself.
They validate me simply by choosing to be my friend.
