The public doesn’t understand the risks of a Trump victory. That’s the media’s fault

As sad as it is, in this case, the press needs to shut the fuck up. Every bit of news is good for Trump. They could have definite proof of him kicking a disabled child or shooting a Maga voter and it would still get him more votes.

So starve him out. Don't give him a platform. Take away what he needs most, the constant attention. Everything else didn't work, so this might be worth a try.

Leider leider nur noch teilweise pink. Die braune Pest ist auch dort stark. Grünau ist eben größer als Connewitz 🤮 Aber schön, das Pink noch gewonnen hat.

how do you survive lazy coworkers?

German office worker here. It can be the same, or some other way that drives you nuts. My current coworkers are just extremely slow. I mean really. They "work" all the time, but it takes them like an hour to write a short email. I usually get my days work done in an hour or two and then do my own stuff and will still have achieved more that day than the slow ones. So of course, I get more workload because "I get things done". I sometimes even secretly do their work because I like some of them and don't want them fired... The boss is prone to hiring idiots (I mean, look at the people he has, including me), so it's usually worse people coming in when someone leaves.

That said, your or my situation or variations of them are pretty much the norm. If you really want to put the work in, don't look at big offices or established companies. I guess some small places or startup might be the way to go. Or mobile nurse, where you have your own route and patients. And of course, if you like being overworked, there's always Amazon ...

George R. R. Martin Says It’s Annoying When TV Adaptations Don’t Stick to the Source Material: “They change things and I don’t think they generally improve them."

"... without asking how he’s balancing these projects with the long-awaited sixth and final book, The Winds of Winter, in his A Song of Ice and Fire series."

If only... I might have hopes if he only had Winds to finish. But there's also A Dream of Spring and that will never see the light of day. At least not written by Martin.

I sometimes wonder how far he got, then saw the negative reaction to the end of GoT and went Sod it, I'm not rewriting all of that ...

What other great opening lines do you know?.

Came here to post this. Just re-reading the books, finished Drawing yesterday. I'm already so in love with the characters again. Will, once more, be heartbroken by Wizard & Glass. Despite all the shortcomings of the final books, this is just the best King ever wrote. (And I would really love to read the versions of 5, 6 and 7 from the parallel reality where King didn't have the accident. But who knows, maybe he'd never finished the story without it.)
