If they think this particular guy is qualified, the message is, "Our party is continuing to do our duty and make the country work, drawing a stark contrast with the party that's messing it up and shutting it down." Now they need to tell that story convincingly and forcefully through next November.

I never said he did. I said that when he was a kid he thought German uniforms and other equipment were cool. He built some models of aircraft. That's it. My point was KIDS can go through a phase of "oh that's cool" before they are old enough to understand the politics and philosophy involved.

Are you ill?

Kids can go through a "WW2 German army was cool" phase. My brother, the kindest, most harmless man on Earth, did. Snappy uniforms and all that. Rationalizing the soldiers were not all Nazis, which was true. But it's the ideology that can't be overlooked.

The officer corps gave him a fair chance despite his iffy background: some did like reducing DEI training and his rhetoric on warfighting. Now they see the rest: politics, protecting DT, no strategic insight, image-building, and carelessness with information. They're retiring or waiting him out.

Agree the key question is what works, but the idea horrible crimes don't deserve punishment is hard to process.

Point taken, but that was before anyone could instantly copy your world and sell it worldwide as theirs. Another age.

Bear stories are fascinating, but the data is just scattered sightings.

I think we can all agree recidivism rates with current systems are awful. But You said "procedures for all these exist." Ok, where are they? And are you saying SA victims are good with the offenders not being punished?

Interesting. Not sure I've heard this idea before.

Agree 100% but How do you even legally define it, much less ban it?

Hmm... in engineering, medicine, and law, the meaning of a text must be EXACTLY clear to everyone who reads it: fuzziness can = serious consequences including death.

Without it writers could never make a living.

How does someone who commits rape or assault with bodily harm or sells drugs that cause deadly overdoses restore?

Amazing. I read a lot on our creature friends and had no idea.

@beautyinthemess.bsky.social Superb. Just superb.

That is superb.

I have a massive dieselpunk world
War I'm my head. It's where I go when I am doing something boring like waiting in a line. Countries, armies, industries, weapons, tactics, etc. someday I'll get to it.

I tip my hat to women sometimes. They look either appreciative or puzzled. When my mom went to a poetry reading at 14, Robert Frost tipped his hat to her. If it was good enough for him...

I cannot overstate how much you should not give Meta access to your photo library.

Welcome to our new global nightmare. If you're hired to create something, create it! If you're paying someone to create something, make clear you're paying for THEM and not an LLM.

Who did he get to construct it?

Setting aside the gatekeeping problem for the moment, replaced where? In museums? In teaching?

Cool!

Yes, we are still finding new species. Everywhere.

Fun. I grew up eating fish I caught in it.

I hope writing helps!

Anyway, I'm hardly a specialist, but s
Meeting someone in a field I didn't realize existed is cool. And I know people with football damage, so I hope your work spills over. Onwards!
