Rejected opening of the day: "Your goal," she said, enunciating carefully. "Is to make the candidate look like a mammal. Voters like mammals." The new public perceptions sank into his chair. He hadn't signed up for this. Hadn't gone to school for this. Yet he was good at his job.

New layer of hell discovered: listening to two younger coworkers have a profoundly ignorant discussion of AI.
Underappreciated deep cut of the day: "Shoggoth Butt Invasion" (2016) by Jason Wayne Allen. Not a very long review, but I often get somber when I think of books like this, which vanish soon after publication and which no one makes an effort to preserve. deepcuts.blog/2022/11/23/s...

I've written at some length about Robert E. Howard and flagellation literature, which shows up in several notable stories (e.g. "The Black Stone," "Xuthal of the Dusk"), but not many people know he tried it out in a few poems as well.

Rejected opening of the day: I found her there, staring into space, a book in her lap. "All this time," she said, words soft and low, as though her chest were hollow.

Technically, national socialism never fully disappeared. It just survives in remnants, kept alive by small dispossessed communities of believers who maintain ties to the past, sometimes hidden under a veil of normalcy. Its gospel was once forbidden, but now many ignore the dangers it once presented.

Rejected opening of the day: The black dress tonight. The one that hung off her shoulders and hugged her hips, reaching down almost to her knees. A gold torc on her left arm, a cut and smooth oval of obsidian set in the twists of the wire. Nails painted black. Hair in a bun, not a one out of place.
