I'm pleased to announce that Becca now has her own storefront. As well as the #calendar, there are now some lovely #dragonfly address labels, with more of her amazing #wildlife #photography to come. If there's anything you'd like to see, let me know and I'll be happy to pass the request along!

Points for originality, though, I guess. I wonder how he gets along with his fellow #masculinity-obsessed manboys who go gaga for #Viking-themed shit?

"Being a male doesn't make you a #MAN !!
MEN believe in #God, its a prerequisite to being called a MAN.
You have a #Effeminate #heathen male not a man 💯🙏✝️"

Well, there it is, the stupidest thing I'll read on the internet all day. Hopefully.

Unashamed plug: Becca Lee, my beloved wife and an amazing #wildlife #photographer, finally has her work up for sale. If you're looking for a 2026 #calendar, this would be an *excellent* choice. 🙂

@lemgandi Yes. Maybe I should have been a little more specific. 😀

Do you want the #PLA in #Venezuela? Because this is how you get the PLA in Venezuela.

"So you're not willing to define #dinosaurs, except as 'not #birds because I say so'? Okay."

Really I should know better than to keep having this argument, but for some reason I can't resist.

Someday, someone will write The History of the #Decline and Fall of the #American #Empire, perhaps even in the then-former territory of the United States. In that work, the #Roberts #Court will be correctly identified as one of the chief causes of its destruction.

There have been worse Supreme Courts, including of course the one which issued the Dred Scott decision. But I honestly think there's never been one so venal, so inconsistent, and so cowardly all at once. If the #Constitution I swore to defend survives their filthy hands, it will be only through fire—much as #Taney et al. made inevitable Shiloh and Antietam and Gettysburg and the Crater, and at last Appomattox.

If the nation is *very* lucky, at least some of the six "Justices" currently using the Constitution for toilet paper will live to see the blood and hear the screams and smell the shit.

@SpaceLifeForm I run into them a lot more than I'd like online, but if anyone I know actually believes that nonsense, I hope they never tell me.

There's a style of writing that's become popular.

One-clause sentences.

One-sentence paragraphs.

Maybe two or three sentences if you're lucky.
But no commas.
Never any commas.

Definitely only one sentence per line.
Nonstandard spacing.

Lots of ellipses ...

Writers think this makes their work sound punchy.

Lots of emphasis.

It doesn't.
It's boring.

Some people say it's all AI writing.
Because that's how AI writes.
Like this.

And AI does write like this.
Often.

But it's not all AI.

People do it too.

For the love of God.
Please stop.
