Artist, writer, cat co-owner, and the friendly ghost beneath every bed.

Art is slow, but expect a lot of politics, horror, art, and cat posts!

(if I ever forget to add alt feel free to tell me.)

A struggling optimist.

there's a genre of post which is like, "I don't trust AI but isn't it cool/funny/telling that it said thus and such thing I wan to hear?!"

no, for the love of god. it's when it tells you what you want to hear that you should be most suspicious!

You can't speak to your dead grandmother. Hope that helps.

(Okay; you can speak all you want. But she can't hear. Or answer.)

IN DEPTH: If you could pay a monthly fee to access a sad simulacrum of your dead grandmother forever, would you?

Fixed that for you.

And the only possible answer is: No.

The same goes for the people overjoyed at vanquishing some “preoccupation with identity politics”: just say what’s actually meant, folks. Find your courage.

(Of course, with the below the subject is CBS’s replacement of, er, John Dickerson — so it’s possible that Byers has no idea what he means.)
Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics”

Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!

(The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

‘“You have to have a plan,” said one senior house Democrats.’

The plan: Standing on the steps of the Capitol, with a little bullhorn, chanting “We will win! We will win!” at no one.

They also decide to add a lipsync to “We Will Rock You” by Queen, hoping to catch attention. (It won’t.)
