Unusual alignment of two climate forces behind record-breaking rain, floods in Southeast Asia

Everyone wants bespoke tailored algorithmically curated personal slopfests and has forgotten how to engage with art---or, more likely, never actually learned in the first place. Modern reaction is the banal fascism of the Disney adult and HP dark romance shipper.

I think the slipping standards of literacy and education in the US in particular is having a really deleterious effect on culture, because the global tastemakers and cultural gatekeepers come from a nation that made phonics education controversial and turned consumer brands into religions.

"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy.
The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season
