Doing the UK, France and Italy in one vacation is already interesting to me

Let the whole mena region participate if Israel stays

At least Morocco and Egypt are in fact allowed to participate, since they're also EBU members

Same as Mastodon I assume, since it's also about following users instead of communities

Maybe I should block more. People say you only need to block like five users to drastically improve your Lemmy experience.

Maybe it's an artistic statement

The trick is to spend uncomfortably long trying to remember what you decided you should say

Drivers seem to love complaining about drivers

Feels inspired by one of my favourite Tumblr posts

Edit: played through some more paths and those were definitely inspired by the post :)

I'll be honest, NCD regularly sets off "wait, is this pro-military propaganda?" alarm bells for me

 

Synopsis: Joshua Munce, Sheila Hardy, Dan Whitely, Max Highland, Tonya Keifer, Marvin Su… this pair has many names, but those names aren’t their own; they’re names to sell. In a rigged and crumbling system, the only way to get ahead is to circumvent the rules, but that comes with its own risks. Police, investigations, prison. Too risky.

There are other ways, more insulated, which are to play assist and help those people. Helping them to disappear, cleaning up messes, escrow services for the handling of good, payment, or guests. Always keeping it professional, keeping things insulated, with layers of distance. When others panic, with too many variables to consider in the heat of the moment, they can do the thinking. The fact they're a mom and dad with two kids isn't the cover, it's the reason.


Author comments: Claw will run for a short time to bridge things in the interim, and is a bit of a pattern break for myself, in more than one way.

I'd describe the intended story as a crime procedural, running for a handful of arcs. A bit of a break from superpowers and magic, but with some other things going on to keep it interesting.

Starts March 9th.

General life update: Moved out, waiting for my stuff to arrive before I can move in. All is (reasonably) well. Did get stuck in the airport for pretty much a full day in total and arrived to find the water isn't hooked up in my new apartment, plus had time with family, so that's why things are launching next week and not tonight. I know the sci-fi story was much-hyped, but given circumstances (including the artist I hired for the site art ghosting me), I'm giving the proposed sci-fi work a bit more time in the oven. It should follow Claw.
