What you describe is vengeance, not justice.
Don't these type of sentiments make you as nasty as the person you wish ill towards?
Cool calm and confident
Very 1984 and 2025

The Right, Racists & Nazis: Migrants caused the housing crisis! The Australia Institute: there is no shortage of houses in Australia.... the construction of new dwellings has outpaced population growth for the last ten years.
Yes yes
I'm reading 1984 right now, as a response to a lecture by Christopher Hitchens. The beginning of the world of 1984 is evident in the US's swing towards authoritarianism.
Australia 0.87 per 100000.
The world, lead by the US Republican Party, is goosestepings its way into an Orwellian dystopia. Vale democracy, Vale human freedoms, and Vale America. youtu.be/rY5Ste5xRAA?...

Ah I missed that reference. Thanks
Just wondering why I would want a technology whose "grandest promises" include destroying the need for human creativity and creating a new class of enslaved people trapped inside data centers controlled by oligarchs
It's lovely, but I have to admit my first thought was tardigrade
Entrepreneur is French. George Bush Jnr CLAIMED in a public presser when being disparaging of the French that the French had no word for it.
Have you heard. WH is changing their lattice structure to triangles so as to differentiate themselves from the Dutch and Belgian inventors of waffles. And of course French speakers have no word for entrepreneurs.
Thank you. An interesting article
Only about 1/3 of Americans vote. US elections, seen from a distance, are little more than straw polls.
Something I find useful when searching for reliable information is to use Google or whatever search engine lights your fire and then based upon the best results to frame a question/s and use scholar.google.com In my experience this using method you have a better chance of finding source documents
He writers, what do you think? A speculative fiction story in which a banal restaurant company with a banal logo changes their logo to another banal logo & the whole banal country looses its mind.
Yep
There will need to be some cooperage.

Australian here. I think the distinction between I'm sat in a chair and I'm seated or I'm sitting is one of tone. I'm sat reads as tense and put upon while other variations are fuller expressions allowing space to represent other states of mind.

Cops better not come for me. I've got finger guns and a handwich.
it’s crazy that in 2025 it’s still controversial to say that due to 50 years of US involvement and destablization in the middle east it caused a direct and traceable blowback in the form of 9/11

He is a strawman using straw man tactics.
Quietly funny quotes from books He listened, but there was no sound on the wind beyond the now familiar sound of half-crazed etymologists calling distantly to each other across the sullen mire. Adams, Douglas. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Complete Trilogy in Five Parts p. 441

America, what are you doing today yourself? Becoming the suited Taliban?
A technicolour yawn followed by driving the porcelain bus.
There are insufficient linguistic banterers indulging in japery anymore.

Thete is probably room in the narrative for the characters to transform.
This is a long, important, horrifying & necessary article on a historic case of violence against Aboriginal Australians which has consequences reverberating into the present. On cyphers, silence, atrocity, truth-telling & Indigenous knowledge. A must-read. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

DFW was correct. America will entertain itself to death.
Watching the AV equivalent of Tat is a choice. Most of the world thrives without ET, GOT, MARVEL, STAR TRIPE, BOND et al. There are two lovely films titled Amanda. Subtitled. They are both worth your time.

Try writing the scene in the present tense and use Christian names and reader understood character specific 'pet' names.

When i first saw this i thought of the creepy torture christian motif . But no. It's a dagger. Congratulations
There might be an element of sarcasm in that post.
I ran into you here at Bsky. I backed up and over you to take a gander at the corps. No i mean corpse. I discovered that you'd written a book. I bought it, and it brought many issues to my attention. Thank you, Mr Dreyer. I wish I could have played the game with you.

No, but the majority of society believes we are supposed to suffer at the hands of the people in power because they are, erm...how do I put this politely? Oh yeah! They're morons.
I'm experiencing an interesting phenomenon. Spoken American English, particularly male voices, have become deeply unpleasant to hear. They create visceral revulsion. Thanks, America, and thank you especially to tRump

As a recent graduate of a CW degree i feel that the problem is 1. We are all taught to write like Austen or clones 2. Insufficient number of the GP have the required education to survive on a diet of literature as prescribed by the literary gate keeps.

Humans adore the sex organs of plants.
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.
