RESOLVED: Nothing

How the Republican Party found a platform small enough to stand on.

I know my most recent two newsletters have been about ancient news by the way the world moves now, but coming out of a period where I was having a great difficulty writing them, I kind of had to get past my two most recent strong ideas in order to get momentum going.
But I'm proud of two days in a row of getting up, settling into the office, and having a newsletter sent out before 10:00 AM, and looking forward to a long and healthy streak.
When I do this regularly, it becomes a decent side stream of income. When my articles trickle out, it becomes a trickle, though a much appreciated one.

If Aaron Coleman loses the general, watch him and every single person backing him go "Why would the corporate dems do this?"

I've said before: a lot of supposed progressives don't actually want M4A, they're in favor of being in favor of it.
Not that his particular race has a snowball's chance in a casino that doesn't allow snowballs to gamble of affecting in any way, shape, or form whether or not anyone gets socialized healthcare. At all.
But taking a seat away from the Democrats and flipping it read? That could affect how and whether people get to VOTE, which affects everything.

"If a bunch of people are all screaming at you that you're not over the target at all and that you're about to dump a payload of bombs over a random place thinking that you're blowing up an adrenochrome factory, keep going, it just means you're on target." - ancient QAnon saying.
It's literally a feature of QAnon social dynamics that they read any disagreement, any debunking, anybody saying they're wrong in any way as proof that they're right and making people nervous.
As their efforts move further and further into the limelight, we're going to see this effect rearing its head again and again.

On top of everything else - historical fiction already assumes something that didn't happen, happened. It doesn't matter how "rare" travel between two places was or wasn't at a given time or place; travel is not a fantastic element.
If you write a story set in the past about a woman who didn't exist who went to a party that didn't exist and met a duke who didn't exist... that doesn't make it fantasy. That's just fiction. If it's historical, it's historical fiction.
I do not point this out because it's the main thing wrong with what she said. I don't credit her with any accuracy in her supposition about what's plausible or implausible.

But when someone wants to be racist without feeling racist? They make up objections that don't apply.
