Speculations on the Biden cabinet
President-elect #Biden is giving some hints of his thinking on his cabinet picks 'as Trump firewall crumbles'. Centrists, of course, but more women and minorities than any admin in history, if we are to believe reports https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/24/politics/joe-biden-transition-donald-trump-election-2020/index.html
@Cobalt@the.monsterpit.net @CaribenxMarciaX The ego is one hell of a drug. People would sabotage their entire lives and working relationships in order to keep it from being questioned or challenged.
@junebug Can't say I've ever experienced that when it comes to my trans identity. Have always been openly trans, and when I came out as enby, I made sure EVERYONE knows and went full fuck-force on anyone who looked at me funny for it.
A very mature response :3c
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun Because the other half of the state would just go around calling it "Penisil" :3c
plurality crosstalk, AO3 project, holidays (and inventing them), D. B. Cooper Day
[Frisk] we hit our "Wolfenoot" target, barely. what should be our next one? I wouldn't mind making another AO3 update _today_, honestly...if we could write something every day, that would be nice, although I'll settle for closely spaced holidays as a fall-back position.
[Chara] well let's see what happened today *looks up* the first entry in the Wikipedia page for 24 November is about Theodosius the Great, how's that for a bad omen? [expletive deleted] Theodosius the Great
and the Texas Rangers were created on this day?
oh wow that's awful. there's gotta be *something* good..."The Origin of the Species" was published today in 1859. that's something.
"Evolution Day" is a terrible name, though. I am not putting "Evolution Day" in an AO3 piece. it sounds like something a Richard Dawkins fan would coin.
okay I've got it.
today is D. B. Cooper Day. Princess, what do you think? should we add that to the list of official Realm of the Monsters holidays
[Asriel] Chara you'll have to make a better case than that. who is "D. B. Cooper"?
that's the brilliant bit! he doesn't really exist! all we know is, some dude who was calling himself "Dan Cooper" hijacked a plane flying between Portland and Seattle on 24 November 1971 demanding an enormous ransom. the cops put it together for him and "Cooper" got the hijacked plane to land at SeaTac so he could grab his ransom money, and then he demanded the plane take off again. then at some point he just bailed out, with a parachute, and was never seen again. a tiny amount of the money was recovered somewhere
his name got reported as "D. B. Cooper" by some sloppy journalist and that's this guy's only name now. nobody's ever found out who he "really" was. maybe he just phased into existence and back out again
but I can't think of a better reason to celebrate 24 November. hats off to you, D. B. Cooper, whoever or whatever you were
*sighs* well...I can't ever refuse Chara when they are in one of their more ecstatic moods...D. B. Cooper Day it is then :3
Thinking bout how in drama, an antagonist mistreats a protagonist and never, ever stops doing and says "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that and I'll stop" without the protagonist doing something because that's bad story structure
And people have taken that as their cue to never stop bad behavior unless and until the mistreated party stands up for themselves. It's good story structure, but putting the responsibility on the wronged party is shitty

LB, US pol
LB: Very much this. Enjoy the victory, enjoy the Biden victory and the salt that is pouring out from the fascist roach holes of the internet. We all deserve a break.
Yes, we know Biden is sketchy on his own, and his VP pick isn't exactly great, but you know what? WE GOT FUCKING RID OF THAT CHEETO. We can start worrying about holding Biden's feet to the fire after we're done celebrating.
Which should be around 2 months from now when he gets sworn in. Until then, enjoy your early Christmas present. I know I am loving it.
