New York is likely about to legalize physician assisted suicide, an outcome my late wife and I would have applauded.
HOWEVER, it is doing so while simultaneously forcing palliative care doctors out of business and causing the terminally ill to lose access to pain treatment.
THAT makes it obscene.

You know what would help me push through this deadline?
Cocaine. Cocaine would help.
It would not make my output better, but it would make me think it was better.

I literally am only maybe 12,000 words from done with the book I am supposed to finish by January 31st, and I'm having a nervous breakdown because writing is hard.
I regularly exceed 12000 words a day.

I keep going back to this wikipedia article because there are so many parallels
"Bentham's argument... provided a rationale for making relief unpleasant so that people would not claim it, 'stigmatising' relief so that it became 'an object of wholesome horror'"

I still would find it personally fulfilling to get fewer supportive emails and a greater number of glowing reviews.

I had a tiny bit of a nervous breakdown last night and Linda, my editor, got me out of it by giving me a list of traditionally published books by very good authors that range from meh to actually appearing to be malicious compliance.
She said my worst is better than that...

Mood. Well today I explained that a ship's anchor works fine without touching ocean floor and had to explain the term used to discuss how it slows is literally called drag. YOU try to explain how drag is drag even if its not touching the ocean floor.

There are no moderates. There are only nihilistic sadistic piggy-men and the rest of us.
All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

I'm surprised that the democrats don't just declare that failure to provide the full unredacted Epstein files means the white house is certain that their president is a pedophile and that only the full release could possibly prove otherwise.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Just a reminder that non-Christians have literally self-emolated in protests of violence.
If all non-Christians caused this murder of a Christian by a Christian, then maybe all Christians are child raping disgraced Christian pastors.

JD Vance blames atheists, agnostics, non-christians and trans people for the murder of Charlie Kirk. This is how the nationalist cult control mechanism is reinforced - by creating an imaginary enemy, just like they created an imaginary god.

I've had nothing but lovely notes from my peeps today about how much The Signalman's Tale is a lovely Christmas story despite not being about Christmas, being set in April and having an evil hate-eating Nazi lich who sneers at both Americans and Hitler.

The only question in the Republican party's protection of pedophiles only has three answers. The question is not "why are they protecting pedophiles."
The question is "Who is the GOP protecting when protecting pedophiles? and the possible answers are themselves, their donors or both.

We are witnessing the biggest child sex trafficking ring coverup in American political history.
The Republicans are protecting a paedophile president and his wealthy, powerful friends who raped children.
The released, blacked out Epstein files are nothing more than a big fuck you.

The Roberts court will go down in history as the worst court in USA history.
I say this as one who shares an ancestor with the man who was chief Justice of the Confederate States and a supporting opinion in Dred Scott.
And he was rejected by his family and is absolutely left out of remembered glory.

Kinda hope this is one of those "guilty but not wrong" sentencing situations, and I can see why a jury might convict on a narrow interpretation of obstruction. I don't agree with it, but I can see how it is technically correct.
