It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

one take on Spring 1 Year 2 introductions, related but not verbatim to my AO3 fic, A Hot Start To A Cold Spring. I've since tripped over a scenario I like more, for the dramaz, but I still like the 'immediate boning' scenario, too.

stardew valley AU, on the morning Kent returns to town. in his farmhouse's kitchen, Safay has been pushed onto his back, on his table. all semblance of pants are missing, and he pulls up his loose cropped teeshirt to expose his chest to Kent, who is shirtless and whose pants have fallen off his hips. Kent's left hand is between Safay's legs, touching to and into Safay's labia; his right hand holds his erection, hard and dripping eagerly. the second panel has Kent lying on top of Safay, penetrating and pounding the younger farmer's body while they kiss, and hold and caress each other.

top row panels show macro images of Kent's cockhead pushing into Safay's pussy muscles. the passage is growing wet, and Kent's cock spits a small burst of precum. middle row shows views from below, as Kent's cock shoves itself inside of this 20yo he only met a few minutes ago, and emerges amid his thrusting, coated in Safay's excited cream. last panel is a close up of Kent and Safay's faces, and Kent laying claim to the farmer's pussy.

one-panel page, of Safay's nudity and Kent penetrating him. Safay calls the repatriated soldier 'sir', and by his rank of Corporal, both out of conditioning from Joja's secret supersoldier project and a correct assumption that Kent would find the grant of power hot. Safay weakly begs to be creampied.

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

I don't like weighing in about the latest tedious rounds of AI garbage but this has stuck in my mind. Shapiro perfrctly exhibits this profound misunderstanding of how creativity works that is an attitude that I feel drives the slop mills. How bewildering ignorant, how contemptuous of art this is.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
