Another day, another reason to scrap this entire "administration" as the Russian assets they are.
A private call between Trump-appointed envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin advisor Yuri Ushakov was just leaked — and it shows the American envoy effectively acting as a strategist for Moscow.
NEWSFLASH: Witkoff was secretly giving Russians advice
A secret transcript reveals that the Trump envoy was helping a Putin advisor formulate a plan.

We know how much these work-for-hire intellectual properties in "disposable media" are worth, and that IP owners will refuse to pay royalties, despite royalties contracts, Becuz Reasons.
And yet, here we still fucking are.

I saw a YouTube video where a guy posited an imaginary 1978 KISS album where, instead of making four separate solo records, the band put tracks that WOULD have gone on those solo records onto a new KISS album.
I disagreed with his choices, so I made my own. Enjoy!

Within hours, the "country of origin" feature was removed because it revealed how much MAGA presence online actually comes from foreign nations.
Y'know, just like we've been saying for years that it does.

X's new country-of-origin feature shakes MAGA and Democrat circles as many 'US' accounts revealed to be foreign-run
Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, has rolled out a feature where going to the ‘Joined’ tab on one's profile, displays the country of origin for that account.

Had Biden, Harris, Obama or a Clinton posted such a thing, the papers would be raging, news pundits would be punditing, and Congress would be voting for impeachment and removal.

Like many men, my male characters fear having their weaknesses exposed. Naturally, I tear down their defenses and show who they really are. Some, like Hop-Frog in The Lord's Greatest Jest or the narrator of Breaking the Devil's Bread, are far stronger than they appear...

I often lean in on it but subvert expectations by making those manly men either queer (like Rol in Red Shoes, Jo in ...But They Call Me Jo, or John in Johnny Serious) or secretly weak (Tommy in Clown Balloons, Childers in Red Shoes, or the prince in The Lord's Greatest Jest).

Q3. I'm doing what I can to answer everyone, and repost, so bear with me. So I don't keep you waiting, I'll throw out 3. Interpret this one how you like. I know many queer folks like me do not align masculinity with man shaped. And with horror, we love to subvert our tales.

Regardless of gender, the dominant archetypes in my work are tempters, tricksters, ferals, faeries and shapechangers, usually with some magical/shamanic practice involved.
Corruption, in my work, typically involves hubris: "I CAN, so I WILL, and damn the consequences when I DO."

I'm Satyr, I write in a range of genres, and the most prominent quality men have in my stories is they're seldom the protagonist. I have exceptions, of course, but the majority of my tales center female leads.
Those protagonists who ARE male are usually queer.

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

Trump is American Media's favorite monster. They feed him attention and he shits out gold. Our media won't turn on him until it's more profitable to destroy Trump than it is to sustain him. And so far, anyway, backing Trump remains a winning bet for them.

How irresponsible of you to work at a job that exposes you to illness or injury! If you were responsible, you'd spend your career behind a desk in a climate-controlled office with great health coverage and no contact with those icky Poors!
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
