Predictably, Tories think lurching to the right will win them votes. It's working everywhere else lately, for reasons I refuse to comprehend - but I'm not convinced it'll work for them.
What OET lacks in actual humour, it manages to be charming by showing us that the more things change, the more they stay the same - and that "products of their time" could still have a fairly modern moral compass.
Having great fun trying to depict my setting (link) in Flowscape.
In order to create the dramatic geography of this city, the cliff faces are actually 3D mountain assets rotated and transformed. As I get more familiar with the software I'm excited to see what else I can do.
Hopefully I get faster, as this setting has over 50 towns and cities...
I was gonna say Kiss From A Rose, but only because nobody would see that shit coming.
Well I don't often drink wines that old, so I'm hardly one to criticise
man is casually unsafe, nearly dies and everyone laughs
Is this an ElectroBoom reference
You can tell this is legit by the way they describe a crater as having fallen from the sky
We deserve a fresh, genuinely impartial court with term limits - three decades ago.
I recall hearing a podcast, probably Hardcore History, in which artillery blasts of a certain size had a tendency to be so disorienting as to cause temporary insanity. Wish I could recall the particulars.
Anyway, fuck
I don't know why people got on your case about it, it wasn't a bad question. I only felt that a rhetorical point had to be made
SCOTUS has been trying to hump democracy to death since 2001. The fuckers have just about finally managed it, and we're all screwed.
If you were trying to actually build a green party from the ground up in American politics, would you platform local candidates, build your bench, develop campaign offices nationwide, and actually try guiding policy - or would you drop your hat every four years so that disillusioned voters can protest vote for you?
What does Stein do?
To sum up: The GOP and its SCOTUS are all actively trying to overthrow democracy in the wake of an actual coup attempt, and a party called Democrats are now legally permitted to have them shot (and absolutely will not do that). Further, the current president is being rubbished by a corporate press so hungry for ad revenue that they prefer bad presidents.
A sad finale, played off key on a broken down saloon piano on the outskirts of a forgotten ghost town. I shall never cross its threshold again in my lifetime.
That's pleasing news. Thanks for disabusing me of some unwarranted pessimism
Voting is like wiping your ass. It's the minimum that you must do when everything goes right. Sometimes you need a plunger or a mop. Sometimes you end up calling the plumber, when some rascally toddler has flushed their toys.
I've been quite coffee dependent ever since about age 16. Sometimes I like to take a week off, facilitated by a massive two litre teapot. In summer, iced tea is my crutch of choice.
I made quesabirria de res and proveletta cheese with consomme. My little innovation is that I gave it a pat of cilantro garlic compound butter with flake salt on top. I'm gonna die happy. These are the best tacos I've ever made. They taste better than being thin, god help me.
A normal septagram continues in an unbroken loop, and is used by some to ward off evil as "god's favorite number". This broken septagram represents a failed attempt to resist evil. We can see pentagrams within from multiple angles, askew, but always frustrating the eye. We cannot ever fully defeat evil, nor attain divinity.
Living in a walkable city means my weekly shop is a few hours of walking or biking instead of being stuck in traffic, and I'm only mildly tired afterwards since I use a bike with pretty large pannier bags. Since I have no car related costs I can afford more fresh food, a healthier diet, and I can afford to be more choosy about the ethics of what I buy. There's a twice weekly farmers market about a ten minute walk away, and quiet walks through parks to get to the shops. Living somewhere with car centric infrastructure, as I used to, this lifestyle was far less feasible.
Have your experiences been different with moving to walkable/bikeable cities? Any questions or points to be made? I'm not very up on the theory side of city planning, but my experiences line up with the whole "fuck cars" thing.

I love this album, it's a quirky, twee little bop. Not my vibe at all under normal circumstances, but it speaks to the malnourished side of my soul that just wants to play Earthbound, laugh like a kid, and throw popcorn at the TV.
These are basically samoas (the Girl Scout cookie) built on top of full sized Scottish shortbreads, laden with caramel, toasted coconut, and dipped in chocolate. Normal samoas are designed so you can eat the whole box before you hate yourself. These accomplish that aim with just one.
I'm used to it being kind of simple - I'd configure DS4Windows, install hidhide etc, and connect via bluetooth. Now, no matter what I do, no game wants to read inputs from any controller I set up. Feeling defeated after a couple hours of poking around. Not looking for anyone to spoonfeed me a solution unless you've had the same issue and solved it, just grumbling.
This is my teapot. It's about 1.5L and has a forward handle for the wrist crushing weight of it. It's a monster, made in America. Sadly I dropped the lid a year ago, and have been using a bowl to cover it, which clatters and makes a hell of a noise from the steam.
Is there a better way? Anywhere that sells lids? Failing that, share your ersatz teapot lids.
Compared with human history, I sometimes think my own setting isn't badly written enough to be realistic.
Stealing from Weissman's board ideas, I made a gastrique with shallot and dried chiltepin for the cream cheese. The rest is all cheap and cheerful Lidl nibbles.

Really happy with it after about 11 years with a Cherry blue MX Das Keyboard, which is starting to break down. I'm exclusively WFH, so I get all the clicks.
