25 year old Jindor knows the price of love is perfection. But the perfect life he's been striving for crumbles under his feet in the wake of a monstrous attack only he seems to remember, and the hungry ocean lurking beneath can't wait to break his fall.

Please do not "He was no angel" somebody while the US illegally goes on undeclared war against Venezuela.
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

I'd love to have a pet bunny, but I'd never subject one to my current living situation (roommate has husky, high prey drive, known rabbit killer)

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

one of whom was literally fucking assassinated. the person responsible for the agenda he got to run on as a VP candidate.

melissa hortman said they weren’t going to sit on their hands with a trifecta. she said lets fucking go and she led one of the most impactful legislative sessions ever.
Say this louder for the people in the back! Walz is a moderate, and while I appreciate that he's governor, let's not forget that he gets pushed by the WOMEN in this state.
tim walz won his governorship by running as a pro-pipeline moderate who was in touch with rural people

he got pushed to the left by the house DFL caucus and Minnesota organizing

Uh oh someone put one too many edits of the Carpathia rushing to the Titanic with "Wait For Me" from Hadestown over it and there's a new idea blooming

They also elected a president convicted on 34 counts of business fraud. They don't care about fraud.

But also if you want to hate computers too that's fine

We technologists have been hating computers for decades, it's a fine and noble profession
I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.

GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.

Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

This is the 4th year in a row that my flight has been canceled due to "bad weather". A more superstitious person might read into that, but luckily I can't read.

It's incredible how much of this stuff is just out in the open, but because Trump said "Russiagate hoax!" 5000 times, the media was brainwashed into treating it like a nothing story instead of one of a ten alarm scandal
Tenet Media founder Lauren Chen, who secretly took money from two people with ties to Russian state media to involve conservative influencers in an unwitting propaganda scheme, is back in the US after being deported to Canada under President Biden. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

All fantastic, but this passage in particular is just so devastatingly funny and obvious:

"I cannot emphasize this strongly enough: this was the lowest possible effort I could make to check out this story, and it was still too high a bar for Bari Weiss."

Other good news? I'm completely onboarded and have a full schedule for January.

I'm still 2 wks out from my VERY 1st paycheck and will spend the holidays on call so if you were so inclined to put some jingle in my stocking, it'd be EXTREMELY helpful. $6,622 closes out this 3yr old campaign forever.

Net Zero Billionaires 2030.

And fuck the institutionally transphobic Vichy New York Times
"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

It's a slow crumble for Jindor, but it starts with our inciting incident, where he obeys his goddess's orders, and in doing so goes against everything he was raised to believe.
What’s the point of no return for your MC in your book/wip? What changes then so fundamentally they can never be who they were again? #WritingPrompt

I've got two that I really enjoy reading/ writing. One is the "Weird Uncle" where they're an antagonist at the start but by the end the heroes are like "Oh hey Dave" and my other favorite is the manipulative bastard who always seems two steps ahead.
What is your favorite antagonist?
Mine is the socially performative but punitive alpha in a group.
