I have seen this done with two scales - amazing. Then with three - awesome. But the ease with which this lady sings four scales is out of this world and beyond beautiful. [Jowairia Hamdy was Egyptian finalist of The Voice Kids Arabia, season 1]

must’ve been terrible to date AOC as a regular man because one minute you’re dating a bartender who’s a bit out of your league and the next there are tabloid stories like “you’re not gonna believe how ugly this guy is”

Lots chatter in these social media streets bout Children of Blood and Bone. ALL BLACK EVERYTHING flick got ALL BLACK DRAMA. But this blog ain't bout none of that. Instead, I tackle another related controversy about the joys, rewards, perils, and pitfalls of writing African-inspired fantasy.

Okay this legit kills me. I can’t stop laughing at it. I know everything is terrible but at least it’s also incredibly stupid!

Here’s a rush transcript of Trump’s abysmal WHCD speech last night. Best part is when he tells a mildly funny joke and it falls flat and he tries to explain it and complains about the rest of his crappy speech. www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2026/0...

Joking aside, I do think we need term limits in Congress. I think term limits are very important because I see what's happening. I see what's happening. The other day, a senator I knew got a text, a great guy, from his wife. And she said, when you get home, I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me. And he said, I can't do both. You know what the, you know. In other words, can't go up the stairs and make love. Does anybody get that? Well, I thought that was actually pretty good. That was actually the only thing I thought was good in this whole frickin' stupid speech that they wrote. That was the only good one, and that went down with not exactly great laughter. I think, you know, in other words, you can't go up the stairs and make love to a woman.

Thinking today about how often SFF folks scoff at the idea that romance requires worldbuilding when we're out here daring to build societies where consent exists and is even tangentially understood, which is a task more ambitious than any magic system.

One thing that I suspect many people outside of the romance genre have rarely considered is how much worldbuilding it takes to create a world where consent is normalized. Its lack is so baked into our culture that it's more fantastical than flying cars and sea monsters. Days like this remind me.

Absolutely love that Trump and the GOP are all in on the World Cup now that they realize it's about people with money and influence being above the rules. They hated it when they thought it was about foreigners coming to visit the USA for fun, but now they're like HELL YEAH I LOVE SOCCER

quiet part out loud -- Ted Cruz thanks Trump for "getting rid of that ridiculous red card," then tells him, "there was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did"
