Poppy There are never enough seconds, Never enough kisses, Never enough love, To empty out the grief and pain of losing. Losing friendship, Losing love, Losing moments, Never to be repeated. 1/3 #poetry

Writers, please kill this trope: a gifted protagonist who's gift, shown as a net benefit, is belittled by everyone. Oh, you're a kung-fu master at 6 in a society that values strength and agility, especially in war? What a freak! Go away! (But come back in act 3 where we'll finally accept you.)

Ah, summer is on the way. The sun is shining. The skies are clear. Maggots are everywhere, the bastards. And the days are longer. Magical.

I never thought I'd say it, but I miss the type of US conservative (Buckley, Kissinger, Bush) who at least understood that it was better to be entangled economically with a country (especially an enemy) than to outright threaten them (especially an ally). At least they didn't buy their own hype.

Sometimes we need to remember politics isn't always loud and brash; it can be unassuming and sneaky.

“Leftists being more polite and less mean would win over well adjusted liberals“ is such a tell that all liberals value is their own comfort

Traitor Contestant: Hey, I'm Josh, and these sheeple are never going to see me coming. I'm like a hawk in the night. I'm not playing 4D chess; I'm writing the manual. No one's going to know what happened. Other Contestant: I think it's Josh. Josh, crying: OHMYFUCKINGGODNOIAMNOTSHUTUPYOUDONTKNOW!
