Let's keep going.

Ben, think about your daughter.

Think about her as a teenager. And she comes to you. "Daddy, I need your help. I'm pregnant. And it was an adult you know."

Or think about her as woman, happily married and she tells you that you will be a grandfather. But several months in, the fetus isn’t viable. "Daddy, I need your help, the doctors won't do anything until I'm the one dying." As she's left in pain for hours or days as her body rejects the fetus without medical support.

And the only response you have is, "I did this to you too."

Or like a hypocritical coward you run her to a state that protected her body autonomy because you made yourself rich bamboozling people into your toxic rhetoric. At the end, your daughter still suffered your actions.

Kinda cool and a little ridiculous. AI art is controversial but amusing with the creations. Little details seem to propagate in abundance towards the unrealistic. I like it for crazy concepts than actually finalized art.

The whole #barbenheimer thing is peak crap of the internet. It's just another oddball cringe trend that people got swept up in because it was weird but when you look back at it, probably be more embarrassing than a fond memory.

I watched the Oppenheimer film. I think it was well casted and the story peaked further interest in the real history of events. I heard people cried at the end of Barbie, but I felt like going through Oppenheimer felt way more emotional. Living through atrocities that people put each other through is maddening and frustrating. Especially if you are helpless against it. And I know people will argue history on how at the time of WW2, they were faced with few choices. But that is one message of the film, it's all about the choices people make and how they impact others.

I lived through 9/11 and I knew my choice was not to do any invasion in the Middle East. Knowing the history of those wars seemed pretty clear to me that the war on terror was not going to make any benefit for the community at home. We now have 20 years of history put into that fiasco. Will this be a lesson learned. No because people just want to pretend it didn't happen. We may not have had a bombing event of that scale again but lives still have been lost to war since.

I'll just give it some more time when media looks to monetize that history some more and see those memes make the rounds. Yikes.

New Year’s 2025: Paris celebrates with dazzling fireworks around Eiffel ...

This was my favorite NYE display. The family was all sick with colds but we enjoyed watching the displays from around the world.

Because the excuse to infodump about storytelling is the best thing in the world.....

Here's your excuse to infodump anything and everything, or something really specific and small, about your story :)

The story I worked on last was the most I got in a NaNoWriMo attempt, over 10k words! Sorry, this has taken a while to answer.

It's a space saga. I love Star Trek and spent the last year getting through the Orville. My story dreams up a world where space travel is a thing to the scale of Star Trek. I've got a main character finishing up her final year at the academy training school on a moon base. She's got friends and competition. This is one of the few times I thought of a cast instead of a main and supporting characters. It's a challenge to give multiple characters growth and story. I'm still working on it, but had to take a hiatus because of life. I would really love to self publish this one some day.

Sometimes you just don’t know why you are sad.

Amazing list any fan should see
