JaymesRS,

I’m reading Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It’s an epistolary novel where the author must continually use fewer and fewer letters of the alphabet due to actions within the story. It’s been pretty good so far. It is my experimental square.

JaymesRS,

Without thinking about the validity of the ICCs argument for it, I wonder if part of their concern is whether or not having an antagonist like the ICC doesn’t shore up potentially eroding domestic support from Gantz and his allies.

JaymesRS,

I heard Biden lieks Mudkipz.

JaymesRS,

This announcement is entirely part of a plan trying to build up good will before ruling Trump immune from everything.

Not “may”, the wording is “shall” and “with””. And while I would have rather they try to end run around the road block, shall and with have specific meaning in legal documents that is much less wishy-washy than “may”

JaymesRS,

I wonder how hard it will be to make this all… DISAPPEAR…

JaymesRS,

Sometimes things aren’t your fault but are your problem. And men making excuses like “just locker room talk” and not confronting other men in their lives who do or say toxic things or espouse ideas or personalities that generally make women uncomfortable are our problems, whether or not they are our fault.

JaymesRS,

Sure it’s good, but it’s no Streets of Rage… 😉

JaymesRS,

Not even being subtle here.

JaymesRS,

The book is so much better than the Pirates adaptation. I was looking for fantasy books a few years ago that didn’t have such a Eurocentric setting and stumbled across this. I liked Tim Powers so I read it and enjoyed it tremendously.

The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker - $1.99

Chava is a golem, a woman made of clay, who can hear the thoughts and longings of those around her and feels compelled by her nature to help them. Ahmad is a jinni, a restless creature of fire, once free to roam the desert but now imprisoned in the shape of a man. Fearing they’ll be exposed as monsters, these magical beings...

JaymesRS,

This book is fantastic, it’s got “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles.”

If you love the movie, this book is the movie ramped up your 11.

JaymesRS,

Bah, like the Romulans could do any better.

JaymesRS,

If a bear pisses in the woods, would Bear Grylls try to drink it before going back to his hotel for the night?

JaymesRS,

In a normal media environment I’d agree with you completely, the problem is that we have a media apparatus that is set up as a propaganda arm of a political party and mainstream media thinks that balance is that any negative news story must be balanced by a negative news story in the other direction (“Trump incites riot and Biden mispronounced his granddaughters name, why both could mean the collapse of their campaigns” type coverage), instead of being balanced in standards of reporting.

I don’t know what the solution is. My strategy though is to work down ballot to get better people in positions to push Biden and get him more flexibility to make better choices and changes.

JaymesRS,

Pitch for the NYT:

THIS Week: Top Republicans not sure if they’ll accept election results. And Biden is so old and confused he mispronounced the name of the prime minister of Belarus. Which is worse? We asked ten voters in a diner.

9/10 agree it’s Biden.
