You make some really good points about Emma. I'd missed the aspect of her being karma for Charles's previous marriage. I just couldn't tell if I actually hate Emma because of who she is or because of a bias I personally have about adultery.Spoiler.
I guess I'm trying to see if there's a read where her circumstances can justify the shitty person she is and the bad choices she makes like with Lydia in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. -

I'm at 75% on MADAME BOVARY now and it's fine. I don't hate the book, though I do hate Emma. Is there a read where she's sympathetic? Cause I just don't see it. She's awful.
It's also interesting reading this with an eye on the prose. Seeing how it really mirrors Emma's mental state and how it tends to be very drab when she's depressed but really opens up when she's going through one of hermanic episodesaffairs. -

Trump will just use an executive order to declare he was a democratic leftist.
On a more serious note, yes he was assisted, yes he was a public figure. However flying the flags at half mast? He is not a politician, I don't believe he served.
"To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now brother. We have the watch and I'll see you in Valhalla," Kash Patel said. This quote fascinated me because it is also filled with self aggrandizement, it honors Kirk in a way I'm not convinced he deserves and it possibly shows a problematic personal bent/bias by the man whose agency is gathering the evidence? I mean they are friends that is a fact that I don't expect Patel to deny but is this normal language?
I don't know if this is a post assassination lionization or if I underestimated a Kirk's influence. I always saw his as a b grade maga influencer on the level of Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens. Household names with a following but not necessarily such a huge deal. Not a Tucker, hannity or the supplement guy (I'm blanking right now but he is huge).
You shouldn't be surprised. Modern conservatism is the party of white grievance and outrage. Who can we hate today? What are we angry about today?
It's fascism and the key tenet of fascism is that it needs an "other"...the hate is the point. If they don't have an "other" it falls apart as an ideology as there is nothing else to it. They know this, so there is always an "other" ....in the 1920's the "others" were Irish and Italian immigrants....these days it's LGBTQ people..But it's entropic....when those others cease to be, or they remove themselves from the conservative environment...that fascism will turn inwards and eat its own in purity tests...
Like look a that one place in the US that's a whites only community....let that exist for a few years and WATCH it eat itself when they can't blame their problems own immigrants or gay people...
I mean... either Vermont or Utah are about as close as it gets lol.
Utah, you say? Seems relevant. -

I'm back to the Mignolaverse again after a break. First I tore through the HELLBOY: WEIRD TALES Omni. I think this is the first Hellboy Omni to get a 3* out of me. It was still good, but I don't feel like it stands up to what has come before it.
Now I'm working my way through the first WITCHFINDER Omni and I'm into chapter 5 of the first story - IN THE SERVICE OF ANGELS - and can tell I'll be bingeing this already. It just ties back to the overall mythology so well and uses the pieces laid down in HB and BPRD in great ways.Spoiler -

Finally pushed through the rest of THE DAUGHTER'S WAR by Buehlman. Think this one lands as a 3* for me. I enjoyed the story that that was told but I also came in with higher expectations based on THE BLACK-TONGUE THIEF and the bits about The Daughter's War that are sprinkled through that book. Also, while I think the narrator chose a fitting accent for the character, I found it difficult to listen to in longer stretches. Though that one's definitely a preference thing.
Next up is Abercrombie's THE DEVILS. Between the buzz around here and the fact it's narrated by Stephen Pacey, I know I'm in for a good time with this one.
Still chipping at MADAME BOVARY as a daily serial read and I've also joined in on a discord read along for THE GOD IS NOT WILLING that is scheduled to finish right before NO LIFE FORSAKEN is scheduled to arrive, so I'm pretty happy with my current reads at the moment.
