#WIPSnips #WordSky "fight"

So many fights. I picked the one over whether young Elrond is a lord of Gondolin via paternity or the heir of Thingol and Dior of Doriath.

Elrond would point out that both locations are a hundred leagues to the wrong side of the coastline. They aren't asking.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky "fight"

So many options. I went with this ongoing cordial battle over whether Elrond is a lord of Gondolin as Earendil's son or the king of Doriath as Thingol and Dior's heir.

I’m going with a moderately ambitious raccoon.
First of all, raccoons already have the vibe of someone who thinks they belong in a bookshop. Little masked intellectual. Probably standing in Philosophy pretending to understand Nietzsche.

Starting position: upstairs. Tactical high ground.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Same, but it means the bow and the string go where they would for a string bass, so.

I lived in corn/beans country. We went from a red tailed hawk being a rarity and a rather scruffy animal, to lots of healthy ones, to sightings of bald and golden eagles. It was amazing.

I'd love to hear a Democrat or two breathe fire on what Vought's "clawing back" of investment in alternative energy is costing us now.

Or who remembers that 75% of voters think we really ought to be doing something about climate change, acidifying oceans, and CO2 emissions.

The implication here is that a year of secret police crackdowns fueled by racial profiling have left thousands of sleeper agents unmolested, great stuff.

I did. I turned out for the R primary in 2024 to vote for Asa Hutchinson.

Turned out so did veritable dozens of other people.

It's been a morning of really cool threads -- thanks, y'all! But I'm down to coffee dregs and it's time to play at being a productive adult.

Kind of want to start a new feature called "Oh Augie No" which is just examples of August Derleth being a prick.

I should probably give an example.

If you can find *My Favorite Intermissions* by Victor Borge, the footnotes (and the text) are brilliant.

And you get to read about the tenor who duelled Handel and attempted to stab him in the Goosemarket.

The only upside to the case of Vivekβ€”who’s getting throttled in polling right now by @amyactonoh.bsky.social β€”is that because he’s actually running for office himself we can see the billionaire influence more directly.

Going to be an interesting fall watching a con man try to pull this off in Ohio
