It kind of annoys me when people are shocked to discover she's intelligent. Well, in a "the cunning of evil" kind of a way.
I think a lot of people assume she's not bright because she's a woman with terrible opinions *and* because of her accent. And that just annoys me.
That woman has never been simple. She just lacks ... compassion and moral perspective. It's kind of sad. It also makes the things she's done worse. She knows.
"It's O.P.P. time, other people's, but you get it
There's no room for relationship, there's just room to hit it
How many brothers out there know just what I'm gettin' at?
Who thinks it's wrong 'cause I'm splittin' and co-hittin' that?
Well if you do, that's O.P.P and you're not down with it
But if you don't, here's your membership"
It's totally about platforms.
I didn't know about this character.
**be nice**
**teach don't yell**
**girl, you can't even get off of youTube, don't be so imperious**
... but please, why can't anyone spot the pattern?
I'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.
And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.
Ya'll need to get out for real.
Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)
In fact the minor demon is basically just a cat.
It pretends that it doesn't know the location of any treasure. But this is a lie. The truth is it just likes living with the guy and causing minor problems.
But when the alchemist becomes ill and needs money the minor demon decides to share its secret. Can they find the treasure in time?

"I Came From Heck"
Story concept:
An early alchemist does a long complex ritual to summon a demon (so it can help him find buried treasure) but, since he's a bit of a shy, sheltered guy, he says "darn you" rather than "damn you" and "to heck" rather than "to hell" when reading The Tome. So instead of a major demon he gets a minor one.
This demon can only do things likes make people's knitting get tangled and cause stubbed toes.

Every few days I find that somehow one of the ears has been removed and tossed on the rug.
... I don't want to make accusations but I think Pica might not like the lego cat very much.
I think the lesson is to go back and read your old projects, work on them more. It's easier to imagine they are not working when you get busy and drift away.
Because I work full time I need to have the ability to keep working in small sprints.
Today I'm feeling optimistic.
I got distracted from working on my book for TWO WEEKS. And I had this fear that maybe I'd lost the thread. Maybe I couldn't get back into writing.
Yet, when I went back and read it? It's pretty good. These last two chapters are solid, and I'm happy with how they work together. They can almost work as a stand alone short story.
I was a little dazzled by "Consider Her Ways" such a good book I thought "I don't know if I can write a story this good..."
Do you ever get intimidated like that?
ARTISTS:
Have you ever worked on a drawing and it's going well, but it feels like *something* is missing? Something that could add mystery, meaning, a sense of scale, a touch of nature?
The painting just isn't complete.
At times like this I'd ask "Have you considered adding some ants?"
There are always ants in life, so ... they can always help give artwork that *something* that's missing.

This is one of my favorite youTube channels. I add it to #FediTV whenever they post something new.
I've put up some ant facts, but also watching this trying to mooch some extra new bug facts from all ya'll
Who is the guy in the upper left?
The real person and the character in the movie are kind of distinct figures.
Patton is the "Born in the USA" of movies in a lot of ways.
Yes we use the boids 3 rule system but each student finds their own way to encode it.
I mean that's the cinematic conceit of the story. The big "it makes you think" question of the film.
Though I always thought it was a more clear story about how war is always hell, and anyone who loves it is nuts.
And that's not getting in to the "real man" who was not as ... honorable as the creature of symbols in the movie.
Some people watch the movie "Patton" and they think he's a really cool guy and not a creepy monster filled with all the bloodlust of a strange ancient god to whom you must sacrifice your children.
And so I don't really like that film for it's ambiguity on the necessity of such men. It's not cute.
What is this? A battle? They are sending Patton home from the front?
This is ... so bizarre.
What is this guy's position and title?
