Exactly. The guy's a very talented shyster, almost to the level of a savant. He's stupid in a lot of ways. His social intelligence is practically zero, for example. But to utterly discount him is dangerous.

No one votes for the leftist monarch.

We all take turns. It's my turn tomorrow.

Why is Jared Leto screaming at the crocodile?

It's obviously a dolf.

Or maybe a wog...

I'm editing the first draft of my hardish sci-fi novel.

It's the story of an arguably failed attempt to colonise another solar system, that falls into factionalism and civil war thanks to a couple of unexpected discoveries, with themes including the dangers of populism and misinformation.

I'm using Evie (a AI voice app) to read the draft back to me which I've found really useful for catching all the silly little typos that my dyslexic mind just can't see.

I've also started properly worldbuilding the world now that the first draft is complete (if I started this earlier I would probably have used it to procrastinate and not actually get the draft done!). I'm using the Notion personal wiki app for it and I'm pretty impressed by it too.

I'm off work next week and have a fancy new laptop so looking forward to getting a good bit of work done then.
