« This week, Mr. Biden and the White House Twitter feed boasted that the president had delivered a large increase in Social Security checks to retirees this year. That increase is an adjustment for cost of living — and it is the result of prices rising faster on Mr. Biden’s watch than they have in four decades » lmao that’s one way to spin it

@aescling oil and gas companies have made record profits this year. they could have raised prices less.

@aescling if corporations would not keep driving up prices then this problem would be greatly reduced lol

@coriander anyway of course a kibi language can't be normal and requires a kibi custom character set which is why i've been spending the past month writing text rendering code lmao
@coriander i have an existing corpus of hundreds of words and grammars and an entire linguistic history from when i was in high school but it's like, in a bunch of XML files in lots of different places and it's kind of a pain to work with
@coriander i have a project like that too; i haven't touched it in a fair while but i’m trying to build up some infrastructure for the conlanging

but building a world to set that story in is itself a lifelong project, so
@coriander it’s very good writing imo
this college offered an english degree but its library held virtually none of the most widely-read pieces of english literature
at my alma mater’s library the “fun to read” section was like, three tiny rows set into the wall of the quiet area
as a romance author i think you will develop so much faster and better today studying Twilight and like, a handful of good anime than you will studying like 99% of contemporary popular romance literature
i don’t LIKE that this is the case, i just think that it is
i mean i think it could be better obviously and i have some notable disagreements with choices it made in story structure but it walked so that somebody else could run
