in the name of the moon

he even writes a huge pamphlet about it

meaning now, when a fool says you’ll be left behind for not using chatgpt, instead of talking to a wall about data centers and mental health you can now speak their language - regardless of your faith - and reply “AI is against official religious doctrine 😠☝🏼 purgatory for you, architect of babel!” which goes incredibly hard (first uno reverse card)

1. Because that makes so much sense for those two

2. Because that means PIDW Liu Mingyan is deeply upset at missing out at sitting in silence with her brother like once every couple of months

I find most of the Yi City arc to be boring

Especially the long flashback/backstory dump about what happened to Xiao Xiangchen and Xue Yang and all

The most interesting and engaging parts were

1. Wei Wuxian feeding the kids his horrible congee

2. Xue Yang being an dick

But mostly I just felt it dragged a lot and got very boring. Mostly because I find Xiao Xiangchen boring as fuck

He has the personality of grass

Tbf I haven't read the official translation yet. I'm kinda putting it off until I have all the books tbh so that might change my opinion

But yeah I'm not a fan of that arc as a whole because I honestly don't give a fuck about Xiao Xiangchen or Song Lan. A Qing and Xue Yang were the best parts and I found A Qing's story dragged too

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.
