Racoon infiltration is loosely correlated with AfD support.
What are the racoons telling these people?

With all the layoffs in government this year (up to 1 million, they're saying) the US is on track to potentially be in recession this year.
Which is one of those things that hides the real story. If you're 500lbs and cut your number of calories you'll feel terrible -- at first. But as your body shrinks, you suddenly find it easier to move. You find you have more energy. You find you can do all kinds of things physically you could never do before. Eventually, you feel better than you ever have in your life, and you'd never want to go back.
GDP is a bit deceptive because it incorporates private industry, exports, and government. If you ever want the GDP to go up then, you just take out a bunch of debt and spend a bunch of government money. Doesn't do anything, and in fact all these totally unproductive people remove people and goods from the productive economy, but number went up!
I guess I can't completely assume every government job is wasteful -- I like not getting murdered by criminals, and not eating food that's going to kill me, and being able to drive to the next town over is important -- but we're finding things like teaching gender studies to the Taliban, or paying intelligence operatives to talk about how much they like peeing on people. That's not a productive use of money.

At 41% of the word target for my next book tonight. Which probably means I'm going to overshoot my word target since I'm still in the first of four arcs. Still pretty happy to see things are moving along, I've only got one more major scene to complete in the first arc. Might end up not mattering as much since I might trim some fat as I edit.
Actually lots of sickness out there this winter.
Most people are just making life work. Turns out it sucks in the winter and you can get sick.

If you control the printing press, it's unlikely you'll publish your own expose, so I tend to agree.
"Haha, what if we can prove Trump was doing shady shit with Epstein? Then we'll have to lock him up!"

I saw a few videos about it and a news article, but it doesn't sound like this drop is the one that matters yet. The FBI hid the good stuff, and now she has to go get it and go through it separately.
Honestly, the idea that an illiterate person could pass high school (or even grade school) should be a grounds for every person who gave the illiterate student committing seppuku.
Sorry teachers, you've gotta do it, you've brought tremendous shame to your ancestors.
I don't make the rules.
If I did illiterate people wouldn't graduate High School and everyone would learn fighting and horseback riding.

Funny how their stance on immigration changed so quickly and now they want to punish an African as harshly as they can.
Yeah, you just have to ask: "How many of the Fortune 500 could you buy every year with one year's federal budget, and how much of that money goes to Fortune 500 companies, and why?"
Suddenly it becomes clear that you've got this 1000lb elephant on the bed, and it doesn't matter if you're the elephant or not you're going to be pulled towards it.

I saw a news article that was saying USAID didn't really account for a lot of money.
The budget for USAID in 2024 was 72 billion dollars. That's more revenue than all but 174 companies on the fortune 500, so more revenue than 323 companies on the fortune 500. That might not be a lot of money for the US government, but it's a lot of money for most anything else!

We Canadians are so fucking stupid that the moment Trump says a mean thing, apparently a bunch of us actually believe the Liberals when they start acting all patriotic -- the same Liberals who were totally on board with cancelling Canada Day. The same Liberals who said Canada is post-national. The same Liberals who said Canada has no culture.
That's how stupid Canadians are. Trudeau could start rounding people up and putting them in camps you constantly hear gunfire from and a bunch of us would be like "At least he's not orange!"

We're in the middle of a trade war these idiot Liberals started by acting like mean girls to the president of the united states for the past 8 years, and they're like "Oh, I know! Vote for us! We'll be even meaner! That'll help!"
How about you shut the fuck up, Freeland? You've 'helped' enough.

In trying to imagine the future for my novel, I really had to dial down the hypersexuality we see today. Instead of treating every woman like she's potentially going to make love to you right this second, the idea is you need to control yourself, but there's other parts of life where things are much less repressed.
Today men and women can barely talk because the hypersexualization has made it so awkward. Hell -- men and other men can barely talk because the hypersexualization has made it so awkward nobody wants to be accused of "the gay", and that's not just from stereotypical homophobes -- the lgbt community has done everything in their power to re frame every single male relationship over the past 8000 years of recorded history as actually being gay lovers.
So of course basically everyone is walking on eggshells among pretty much everyone because nobody wants to be accused of hitting on someone they don’t want to. With a little self-control, people could actually chill it out so they only hit on people they’re trying to hit on and we could have social connections again. It turns out we humans require social connections other than trying to bang like a bunch of bonobos on MDMA, or we get super depressed... like a bunch of bonobos after an MDMA bender.
The way to actually do that is to have social rituals that separate out this piece of your life. So you can have a discussion with someone and if they aren’t initiating the social rituals, you’re safe to just treat them like another human being, as opposed to a potential romantic partner at all times.

The liberals are in such a bad place, they've got many Canadians excited to vote for a guy named Pierre.
England actually colonized Africa, they can feed Sudan if they're so upset about it.
