On your point about what to expect, I expect we'll predominately see articles about all the things Mamdani doesn't accomplish as well as any concessions he makes operating in a system HEAVILY skewed against his policy goals, and very little about what he actually does accomplish. These articles will come from virtually every source, serve to divide any base that exists left of right, and both discredit and dissuade future candidates.

I hope otherwise, but the pattern has historical precedent.

I agreed to co-write a show recently so I've been writing literally anything, just as you said "pantsing" it and run out of steam within a couple pages. So I've tried to outline and just stare at a blank screen with zero focus. My creative process is its own oxymoron where it wants setting and characters so it can make a story but also wants the story so it can create the setting and characters.

I'm at a loss with myself, except I'm going to keep trying

Just direct a different laser at each rod and cone in my eye

That is such a horrible idea

Oh wait, looks like it ended in 23? I don't think I've looked since 2018

Wait is GWTB still ongoing?! I need to read it all again in entirety

I've been thinking about that, but I haven't had the executive function to sit down and actually commit to it

Ahh okay, so kind of sandbox your associations

I have never figured out how to prevent fingerprinting. They pull so much data and basically nothing works if you block it. It's also kind of a catch 22 because if you change the information your device provides too much you become an identifiable outlier.

Maybe someone who knows more can help?

They made Venezuelan gangs out to be the big bogeyman without actually producing any actionable evidence or results, so they have to escalate or lose traction on the fear mongering

 

A little heavy-handed, but at least they're being honest
