Finally, history makes sense.

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

Delve 166 — With focus comes clarity. With clarity comes the ability to move forward. Yet, these things can blind us to the dangers we approach. When confidence overrides better judgment? Thus triggers the trap. — Serial | New Tue & Fri — 💙📚 #writingcommunity #reading #books #amreading #fantasy

The halls blurred. Rooms faded. Time itself froze. Stone walls reshaped like liquid, painting-portals split wide, and floors of sand, glass, and silk shifted beneath their feet—the manor embodied impossible magic, but Kru walked through it blind. He was done with wonder. Now, only the destination.

Delve 165 — You think a trigger just ignites a spark? No. Triggers have other uses. They lock you in. The real question isn't what makes you burn. It's whether you can quell it before the door slams shut behind you. That's the trap. — Serial | New Tue & Fri — 💙📚 #book #reading #fantasy #amreading

“I cannot explain my Lord-please, let me show you!” Tam’s voice broke as Kru lifted him high off his feet. Kru dropped him cold. Tam hit the dirt, trembling, as Kru turned on his heel, a dark fury gleaming in his eyes. “And where would you take me, deciever?” “The workshop, my Lord. The workshop.”

​Setting up a new tablet. Love how some apps make it super easy. ​However, the majority act like you're a villain trying to take over the world and it's their job to stop you.

I still see this question also. No, you cannot. Xitter is toxic. Stay the fuck away.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Delve 164 — Does someone else’s claim, even if denied, make it any less true? Truth and lies wage a battle for the soul—and both carry traps. Not all lies are bad, and not all truths will set you free. — Fantasy Serial | New Tue & Fri | Follow Now — 💙📚 #writingcommunity #amreading #books #writing

“My… my apologies, my Lord!” Tam said, backing away. “I thought you knew—that you were pleased with all you saw—” “I admire the mind, the godhood, that creates such things. Yet, they are abominations. These are of Jur!” Kru rushed forward, clutching Tam. “Where is he? Is he here? Take me to him!”

Leadership matters, and we need leaders who rise to the occasion—not what we currently have. It is time for big changes across the board.

This guy needs to go. Immediately upon winning back the senate, we need to pressure the hell out of all D senators and senator-elects to pick a DIFFERENT leader.

...and he was never heard from again. No, I'm not saying something bad will happen to him. He simply will not follow through, and this is all smoke. Tired of this kind of thing.

🚨 WOW: In a new video, Trump donor Eric Deters announces a lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle, threatens to depose her and Don Jr., and teases an explosive recording. “This might just bring down the ENTIRE Trump administration,” he warns.

OMG. Amazon sent me an email saying one of my packages wasn't delivered because of a dog. 😂 My dog is like 10 lbs and is never outside in the front where packages are delivered. Not that it would matter. This guy loves everyone. 😁 I have no way to respond to the email. #Amazon #shame ‡🐕📦🤣

Spent the last 4 days trying to update my business modem and WiFi. Why does it always feel like Comcast is working against me when I do these kinds of things?

Delve 163! — Perception isn’t just how we see the world—it’s what controls us. The line between good and evil often hangs on the smallest, hidden idea. These are the traps we never see coming. — Fantasy Serial | New Tue & Fri | Follow Now — 💙📚 #writingcommunity #reading #books #amreading #writing

Kru’s gut twisted as if struck by a physical blow. Wild-eyed, he seized Tam’s gaze. “I know not this place, nor have I ever walked its soil! Such artifice—magic and machine intertwined—I have never created. For I am human. Only Jur conjures such depravities. Do not place such horrors on my soul.”

This is insane. Fascist playbook to cause fear and intimidation. Please vote.

Federal ICE agents raided Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home before dawn this morning. The Trump DOJ confirms agents executed a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation reportedly involving immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a CHILD. 1/

Delve 162! — We are not always aware of the unseen threads binding our souls—whether they are a blessing, or a trap. Not every bond feels like a chain.

Kru froze at the response, his eyes locking on a tower in the mini city. A clockwork wizard spiraled to the peak, waved hands of light, and then vanished in a puff of smoke. “If this isn't Jur’s lost workshop, then whose is it?” “I mean no disrespect, my lord, but I thought it obvious—it's yours.”

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

Delve 161 — Home is never where the mind imagines it to be. Circumstance rewrites every mandate; safety is a path seen only in the mind’s eye. Yet, the eye can be tricked—and that is the trap. — Fantasy Serial | New Tue & Fri | Follow Now — 💙📚 #writingcommunity #reading #amreading #writing #altfic

“Never have I witnessed such impossible wonders; this is the house of Jur.” “House of Jur, my lord?” “Here. I tracked the portal to his lost workshop—where miracles were spun, engines woke, —and his mind warped.” “I fear a grave error has brought you here, my lord. This is not the house of Jur.”

For those who follow my Delve social media serial— Normally, updates go up on Tuesday and Friday, but I missed Tuesday. RL work didn't leave me the writing time I needed. So I'll be posting on Wednesday instead. Sorry for the delay. 💙📚 💙 🪐📚 ##WritingCommunity

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Stairs of glass capturing twilight rose before them. Reaching the balcony, Kru looked out, and the world unlocked—machines clicked and rolled, walls parted, and the ceiling tore open. Miniature cities burst upward, a countryside of gear-forged trees, all populated by automatons of people and beasts.

I don't think he's trying to lose the midterm. It's simply that the narcissist in him doesn't care. If it isn't about him specifically, it isn't important enough to hold his attention.

Mark Hamill@markhamillofficial.bsky.social

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB
