many days i vacillate between wanting to fix all the things and just shrugging. people, esp on the left, largely don't want to tackle the key areas we have problems (the media). and there's only so much you can do.
we see stories like the biden campaign being swamped by right-wing noise and everyone's reaction is like: fact checks! subscribe to the ny times!

are you fucking kidding me?
the answer is simple: create noise from the left. but people largely don't want to do that. so here we are, a dinghy in an ocean of shit.

im not fussy about genre. at this point i could do nonfiction, spy story, fantasy, or sci fi. or all of the above.
but feel free to offer me that deal. it doesn't even have to be like obama or stephen king money.

She’s a democrat, not a Republican thank God
Most of the replies I’m seeing to this seem to indicate we shouldn’t have a department of defense or some other kind of pie in the sky silliness
Gonna have some interesting foreign policy debates I reckon. That’s been on the back burner for some time now.

in more important news, raided my first monastery in assassin's creed valhalla last night. i am sorry british clergy but my village needs improvements and you have all the goodies.
i bought watchdog: legions not realizing ac was coming out. so, that's going in the backseat for awhile.
im very doubtful im going to buy the new COD. i played the demo and eh... i dont think i like the direction black ops is going with combat, versus really liking wwii and modern warfare. looking most forward to the next far cry.

ALWAYS. whenever you forget is when the dog will go crazy for number two.

my sympathies for those of you with normal-sized dogs and this issue.
me, with a mini dachshund: "ok, will just pick this up..."

you, with a bulldog: *starts backhoe*
i had to walk my friend's rottweiler once. that was like 13 years ago. i still remember it to this day.
