The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

These are great. Been thoroughly enjoying Tchaikovsky’s post-dystopian worlds.
For those who haven't come across the Terrible Worlds series - these are standalone novellas, entirely separate to one another in setting and plot, but loosely grouped in conceptual trios...
Next year, a new TERRIBLE WORLDS novella is coming your way from @aptshadow.bsky.social !
Preorder PREACHING TO THE CHOIR now: https://geni.us/preachtc
And dive into the rest of the thematically linked series whilst you wait. Each novella is a standalone but 1-6 are available in bind ups too!

Put another way: it turns out Louis CK was never joking.
Yeah. Before the fall, CK's act—and his fandom—rested on the premise that his worst self wasn't his true self. Now it's the opposite, and that's just not interesting as comedy.
He is just generally an alt-right, unrepentantly racist and transphobic piece of shit. He is also a genuinely bad comedian, much in the way that thin-skinned assholes often are 🤷♀️

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter
The playwright Tom Stoppard, whose playful erudition dazzled the theatregoing world for decades, has died aged 88.
One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).
