"They're all social signals"

Totally underappreciated thought.
Soooo much of human behavior, preferences, and thinking is "this is the group I am in, this is what we value"

@Stoori @h3mmy @agturcz

@benroyce
Indeed

Also, if they mean the "Democratic Party" by "the democrats", then I think the "lesson" was very different to what these people assume. They think what they "taught" the party was that the party should go more to the left.

The lesson they actually taught the party was that the people on the left are untrustworthy and it is better to appeal to centrists who are greater in number and turn out more.

"How can one man so visibly fuck up on every god damned thing...and still have this much power?"

Truly is a fascinating question.
Like how did this guy fail upwards for his whole life, and then does a horrendous job and get voted in again anyway. Maybe we are just a very stupid species

I am very curious what goes on with you when you read one of my short stories.

May I offer you a link to one?

@bobjonkman

#WritersCoffeeClub 14 January: Are you a pantser or a plotter? Have you always been this way? What brought you here?

Both
I plot some, pants some

This made me laugh

I have 31 subscribers to my newsletter, and the notion of having 20,000 sounds so unlikely that it is funny.

Thanks
