once again this is useful for demonstrating that the media that spent 25 years using "gotta support the troops we love the troops do you support our brave troops" as a cudgel against anyone opposed to war were full of shit this entire time. they never even cared a little tiny bit about the troops

Q: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln TRUMP: No they're not Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.

*I* can though! JK Rowling has denied the existence of the Holocaust and routinely enabled genocidal behavior through her continuous crusade against marginalized communities, and is an active threat to a decent, caring, and overall better society.

To be fair, we *can* call her a hateful transphobic bigot, we just can't accuse her of specific things. Like i can call her a talentless hack who couldn't write a decent story if her life depended on it because that's an opinion and you can't sue for that.

Thinking about the time I was going to my car when one of my neighbors was walking by with their dog. The dog came up to me, so I crouched down to pet her and my neighbor said, "She doesn't normally let strangers pet her." The rest of that day was utter shit, but that was the one bright spot.

Sure. The problem with using "AI" at any point in the book production process is that people will think you'll use "AI" at any point in the process. When I learned about my "AI" cover I apologized, made it a contract point it couldn't be used again, and donated to an arts org helping young artists.

My author friend gets a lot of flak for AI cover art on occasion. People insist that it means she must be using AI to write the books. 🙄

Y'know, upon further reflection, I really think it's inappropriate to call John Fetterman an ogre. Ogres simply deserve more respect than being compared to John Fetterman. They're hardworking, industrious creatures who are integral to society and the ecosystem at large.
