Everyone discusses the lessons we can take from Persephone, but no one mentions my favorite lesson: That you can be both Death *and* the Maiden.

As I've said many times throughout this year of Old Blogs, the @archive.org is an AMAZING resource in these times of ephemeral record keeping and broken links - life is going to be difficult enough for Future Archeologists, they're going to need this sort of thing a LOT!

Oh you broke ranks and squandered your politically advantageous position on the government shutdown, and the audacious gambit resulted in the most obvious outcome imaginable? You really are a Democrat.

Oh, how I love horror where the colonial greed is why the strange new world has demons, not indigenous practices.

I have a two-step solution to our modern loneliness epidemic:
1. Haul immense stone slabs over long distances to build a Great Temple to Aten;
2. Gather at the Great Temple to Aten.

But the Baileys said he's doing great!!! Not his actual constituents, but that's a minor detail (this is sarcasm).
Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

It's definitely not how you get a country ruled by a military junta. Not at all.
I've read a couple of history books and I can tell you for sure that rounding up your generals, having a drunk yell at them and call them fat, and then stopping paying them that same day is absolutely how you institute durable personalist rule

I'm in Seattle right now, and the biggest culture shock is how many people casually consume energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster. In New York, it's either Celsius or coffee. Anything else leads to everyone being very concerned for your well-being.

This shy guy is a new ash-red juvenile that's been around a lot, but too skittish for a photo until now. I wonder which pair were his parents?
