Statement Re: Speaker Johnson Comments on No Kings

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson blamed the peaceful No Kings Day of Action on October 18 for the ongoing government shutdown. After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement:

"Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he's attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that America belongs to its people, not to kings.

"We'll see everyone on October 18."

All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety. Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide.

Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid In the Omelas Hole, by Isabel J. Kim

This short story is great, although you need to be familiar with the story it's riffing on, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.

Yeah, why did they walk away instead of freeing the kid?

Hmmm, a little. The slow-moving part, anyway. Heavy might make it worse.

Though actually, it does have a cute face...

Oh, I figured most people would figure it out from context, but it still pisses me off that I goofed up that thoroughly. 😅

Hah, that was just me being a goober. I don't use autocorrect, so it's all on me! 😅
