I think I've realised what bothers me about Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights: it makes a huge deal out of how edgy and controversial it is to add all this kinky sex but it strips out any of the actually difficult subtext. It wants to be seen as cool and brave but it's profoundly timid.

Found a new vocal stem and coping mechanism today!
Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728:
每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳，
一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。
I set money aside for fish before each meal.
She used to be no bigger than my hand --
Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat,
And drowses by her humans on her mat.
Hawks looks pissed and ask Dabi "Why do you antagonize me so much?" to which Dabi answer in thinking pose "Well, you're this fake happy go lucky with everyone~ So on the rare occasions you get angry, I like it directed at me so I can feel special."
Oh yeah, that too.

each ep is less than 10 mins, so this is actually very achievable

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
he threw his own press office under the bus. the press office that is the one reason lots of Dems think he is the fighter they need in 2028.
I don't understand US peeps going on about the Epstein files. You all know he's guilty already.
He's got secret police kidnapping, attacking and killing people already. He's effectively resigned you from NATO and is threatening a war against the rest of us.
It's not distraction.
At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
Can't say it often enough: every Trump administration accusation is a confession.
I think the people in his press office have a moral responsibility to resign.
Seeing a lot of people who live in places that haven't been invaded by ICE telling people who also don't live in places invaded by ICE how the people who have been invaded by ICE should be acting.
if Walz, or Pritzker, or Newsom wants to win the 2028 D nomination, using state resources to effectively protect the people in their state from ICE would probably give them a big boost right about now.
My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.
See? We just need to talk to each other.
ICE is out of control. They are the source of the violence and can never be its remedy. In the short term, the only answer is for them to cease operations in Minnesota and leave. Immediately.
In the slightly longer term, ICE must be dismantled and abolished. They cannot be reformed.
It's bad enough that Trump is turning the USA into a global pariah, but it's even worse when you remember how he keeps insisting that "world leaders respect us again" now that he's in charge.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
How much are ICE operations in Minnesota costing taxpayers? Surely someone has those numbers...
GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. Now he’s going to prison for child porn.
At the same time, it is also important to remember that bots exist which are programmed to spread their own rhetoric.
Some of the people controlling those bots want the population paralyzed.
Don't help them.
Okay folks, one thing you need to understand about social media is that in participating in it *you* are creating rhetoric.
My recent posts are trying to address that fact and maybe get you to think a little bit harder about what your rhetoric might encourage or discourage.
Morning.
It’s wild that Democrats are still negotiating their little appropriations bills as though everything is normal and Republicans won’t vote unilaterally to break the deals when Trump asks.
ICE officers are publicly stating that Renee Good was killed not because an officer was threatened but because they were made at her for not instantly following every order issued.
The new ICE threat to protestors is:
"Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch."
someone was asking why people want to work with trump or follow trump when he's constantly humiliating and insulting everyone he deals with. (and robbing them, often.) 1
ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms
Washington and 11 other states’ attorneys general have sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for what the multistate coalition argues is unlawful discrimination against transgender people via new strictures placed on federal grant funding. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/14/r...
