If you're a radical leftist, a progressive, a liberal, or even just a plain old Democrat, I'm probably on board with your politics.
But in this political climate, that shit doesn't matter because we're not even in the ballpark.
So until the room changes a LOT, I'm focusing on other shit.

I feel like I'm properly run bird feeder is proof that competition and conflict are a byproduct of scarcity.
All these different kinds of birds. I just hanging out here and eating because they don't need to fight over food.

The rule should be that if anything at your restaurant has a flavor that isn't mentioned on the menu and doesn't fit the profile, straight to food jail.
A citrus cocktail with surprise anise? Jail.
Surprise black truffle on anything? Jail.
Spaghetti and meatballs with helpful mint? Dead.

Seriously, Word is such trash for formatting. (not a hot take exactly, but damn)
Same seven lines, same formatting, every chapter page looks different. H8.

Be advised that with only three viewing experiences, we have the sum total of what the American entertainment industry has to say about Thanksgiving.
1. Planes, Trains & Automobiles in full.
2. The camp play carnage in Addams Family Values
3. The clip below.
After that, it's all just football.

47 years ago today, dozens of turkeys met their unfortunate demise in a Cincinnati parking lot.

I struggle with the fact that I don't believe in stupid people.
Because some people are always DOING stupid shit.
Like trying to be a federal prosecutor without any of the needed skills or experience. Like pushing people to use AI in workflows that will only suffer for it.

Watched Wicked For Good with the wife and Kids today.
I loved it. A movie about overcoming fascism with the power of positivity and love? Yes, please.
I thought the new songs were trash, but they made a great way to manage a bathroom break.
But overall, still a 9.5/10 movie. I want more.

editing book formats till the wee hours, but I think I have it in a place I like now.
Which is to say a 14 pt engravement mt chapter number, a 22 pt chapter name, a graphic behind the name, a 3 point space to the start and a 3 line drop cap. the text is currently 10 pt Lora. 11.5 felt huge.

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

@gailsimone.bsky.social ... I have a terrible need.
An egg cracks in Gotham when Poison Ivy kisses a "man" with her mind control lipstick (that only affects men), and it mysteriously doesn't work that time.
Poison Ivy: "Oh fuck. You're a trans woman? Girl, I'm so sorry."
Egg: "I. . . have some things to think about." *walks away confused*

I have similar thoughts, but similarly, i'm in neither group, so I'll follow their lead.
I’ve thought about this a lot and it is not my place to say but I’ve always found these words to be neutered by the “phobic” - hate is not a phobia. Phobia implies something that is out of a person’s control. Hate is evil and insidious and shouldn’t be watered down by mental health implications.
good call @erinbiba.bsky.social and can we replace “transphobic” and “homophobic” with anti-Trans and anti-Gay?

I just turned on the writing light, so it's serious business over here. Finally got all my notes back from the sensitivity reader and I'm about to finalize things for book 2.

This is a problem parents need to understand on college tours. I have always thought that once parents start asking about the % of contingent instructors, there might be a chance to turn the tide. I asked when my kids went to college, and I'm pretty sure no one understood what I was saying.
This (youtu.be/2AvfOhtmCZY?...) is an older @acollierastro.bsky.social video I must have missed, but it is brilliant in explaining the intensity of the bullshit of the adjunct system, for students and instructors.
