Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?

Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …

So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? (Elon? Vlad? #Project2025 ? #brainspurs on steroids?)
A fair and important question.
Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir stood dancing silently with stars in his 'mind' for what seemed like forever (at a "rally"!) or imitated sex w/ a microphone (or flag), or spoke of Washington (George) taking airports?! Or a virus "hoax"?

https://mas.wrong.tools/@crystalvisits/113431870966948775 crystalvisits@wrong.tools - AND I just heard back from my awesome publisher at WWP, Sarena, that she's put my book and all the solarpunk anthology ebooks on sale for the rest of the week, as well. Let's do some nice things for our brains! If this is up your alley, I highly recommend these anthologies. WWP does great work.

The Amazing Alien Mothwoman

Désolé, je n'ai pas trouvé de nom plus approprié ("L'incroyable femme-papillon de nuit extraterrestre", ça ne sonne pas aussi bien)

C'est pas parfait, mais sachant que je l'ai réalisé d'imagination, sans modèle, je suis assez content de moi.

Review : The Celtic Myths That Shape The Way We Think (II)

Concluding part of the review, looking at more general themes rather than specific stories. Including :
- How there are so many common themes among all the European pagan myths, including primeval wars between the gods, "All Father" figures who fight sea monsters, and common storytelling techniques that focus on detailed, specific elements of how the fantasy world works
- How the Celtic myths were told using a wide variety of different and subtle techniques, not always in a modern linear style but more aimed as instruction... yet using sophisticated methods to tell a good story
- The subtlety and egregiousness of Celtic magic, from some dude who can suck up the sea (with the unlikely name of "Suck son of Sucker") to oddly specific curses
- The outright bizarre, including one poor guy who dies of depression because he can't fit a handle to his favourite knife. Also, racist fairies

Hintergrund | DLF: Böse Orks, gierige Ferengi - Rassismus in Fantasy und Science Fiction

Klingonen sind gewalttätig, Ferengi habsüchtig, Gungans ein bisschen dämlich. Nichtmenschliche Wesen in Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Welten werden oft ziemlich stereotyp dargestellt.

Die Orks aus Tolkiens Fantasy-Epos „Herr der Ringe“ sind ausnahmslos böse und werden als ganze Spezies zum Abschlachten freigegeben. Ethische Bedenken? Fehlanzeige... (weiter)
