Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)

Trump delivering the news that "life isn't fair" to Coast Guard Academy grads has got to be a new high point in irony for this administration.

Trump: "Life isn't fair."

 

Life: "Trump isn't fair."

 

On the other hand, the fact that he is the President is pretty unfair to the rest of us.

If only this were a party.

 

However, a group of GMs trying to see how crazy they could go writing a round-robin adventure story a paragraph at a time could be amusing.  With or without alcohol.

I've done it. At many sci-fi and fantasy cons, there are panels where the participants are given notebooks and told to write the first paragraph of a story. The notebooks are then passed around and the story is continued by the next person, while you get to continue the story started by the person who just handed you their notebook. This continues until everyone has contributed to all of the notebooks, or when the time is up. This leads to some pretty mixed-up stuff as the tale takes unexpected directions.

I know he's too smart to be in this thread, but this will piss off Logan.

 

They came for the Librarian (of Congress)

Because the executive office apparently has nothing to worry about.

It's an interesting subject, but I'm not aware enough of the issues behind the change to have an opinion of whether it's good or bad in principle. It's questionable what agendas may be motivating commentary on either side of the change.

 

But there's irony in the potential for the man with "really great words" to impact the lives of people who read.
