I see people talking about gender fluid all the time. Just be careful! A lot of gender fluid is made with pure spirit essence and if you consume too much of it at any one time, it could liquefy your entire practicum.

There is nothing in anything I have seen from his actions or statements that makes me think ANY message could be clear to him.

That's the rumor I heard last night, second hand from a source who read it on the Internet. And if you can't trust that chain of attribution, what can you trust?

AAAAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm reading this right after reading a long thread where a bunch of "I'm not racist but..." white guys earnestly explained that Harris had too many negatives and is too unpopular to be elected.

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

The NYT headlines write themselves if there's a new candidate: "As Dems Frantically Assemble New Team, Polls Favor Trump" "Dem Campaign in Chaos, While Reps Show Unity" "They Have a New Candidate, but Do Dems Have a Message?" "With Four Months to Election Dem Leaders Doubt New Candidate"

I found some of the criticisms kind of a reach, even silly. But then I have to admit one of my main reasons for liking it is silly-at the beginning it reminded me of the old Pink Panther TV cartoon. The morality criticisms are weird though, and some go to unintended places.

Eerie Emilie… for now.

That's a really old plot device, going back to oh, the Comic Roomies From Hell / It's Walky period or earlier. And as long as drama is easier to write than comedy, it will almost certainly continue.

For my part, I have enough problems justifying HUMANS in a FRPG setting. I mean seriously, look at your average fantasy world- it has a geography nothing like Earth, so where the hell did the humans come from? And looking all weirdly pseudo-European?

Today is the 80th anniversary of this New Yorker cover by Rea Irvin, portraying the D-Day invasion in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry. Bayeux was the first town to be liberated (although the tapestry was, to the surprise of many, not there anymore; that story is the subject of my next novel.) 1/5
