It's a well-founded fear, you know.

That? That's pure power.

Women's rights. Minority rights. Car safety. Drug safety. Availability of treatments generally. Health insurance. I can go on but the lie that things were "better back then" is still a lie.

I think that perhaps the problem is the wording. There are successful centrist Democrats, absolutely. But they are also mostly go-along-to-get-along machine Democrats -- and DSA candidates are, almost definitionally, not that. I think that's what 'centrist' means in this case.

She's already outlasted Liz Truss.

Totally the same. Also an issue at the paragraph level -- I'll know that a paragraph doesn't stick together right because it literally makes my skin crawl.

Well, of course not. They both get served as accompaniments to bacon and/or sausage, so the starch format doesn't matter.

And in my dying years, I will shine blue, not red.

Why do I know this? A friend of mine was on the team which first proposed this for American professional football almost two decades ago.

It's actually as stupid simple as it sounds: the ball has an audio pickup and a small radio transmitter in it. It's also wired with other sensors, but that's why there's a satisfying *thunk* when somebody lands a header.

Mister Kref Twerk?

"One open-paren O-N -E close-paren"...yeah, kind of clunky.

I just finished my advance reader copy of Vol 1, _Box_. It was amazing. I am eagerly looking forward to Vol. 2, _Bag_, and then to the denouement in Vol. 3, _Bin_.

This is rarely relevant, but it is in this case: "their". Unless you actually know their preferred pronoun, assuming they are a woman is insulting. Normally, that's the performative nonsense you objected to. That poster is trans and their pronouns are important.

I suspect that the gravitational gradient would be high enough near the surface that you'd have trouble with the 'letting go' part of letting go.

I can not imagine a fate much worse than Helda's. _I have no mouth butI must scream_ with indentured servitude as a bonus!

In fact, the very word "robot" has some fairly dark connotations in its original context...

I remember the first article that the author wrote a year after the adoption.

There y'ego, missing the joke again.

Having your heart suddenly lose its rhythm is an even better way to be deeply and profoundly aware of the tenuousness of life.
