This is how I feel about Charlie Kirk.Fuck that guy, I'm glad he's dead. Not glad he was murdered (murder's bad, m'kay?) but glad he's gone.https://mas.to/@continuation/115185302846062833
"What should Poland have done?"Deployed a cheaper SHORAD system. Shooting $10K drones down with F-35s firing AIM-9X at $300K a pop seems uneconomical to put it mildly, and it won't scale up if Russia is serious about attacking NATO.Which they may very well be. They've lost the Ukraine war at this point—it's a stalemate—their economy is about to topple over, and they've got a war machine: this is a desperate time, and their leadership is demonstrably reckless and evil.https://mastodon.social/@yacc143/115181164093833274
Reminder that the England flag (flag of St George) is also commonly known as the Butcher's Apron because of it's association with crimes against humanity (specifically, massacres).https://mastodon.online/@iinavpov/115157051548383085
#WritersCoffeeClub 9/5. How much should a writer read?Voraciously, constantly, curiously, and not just within their own field.(It's an essential prerequisite for not being derivative, clichéd, and constantly reintenting the wheel. You're very unlikely to produce something original if you aren't familiar with the prior art.)
