$$$ 2nd Draft of Harvester is finally complete. Current length after the first complete pass using my wife's feedback: 277.5k words.
Going to take the rest of the night off, maybe tomorrow, and then I'll go through all the beta feedback and see what needs tweaked. I have definitely learned just how inadequate my ideas were to speeding this up at the start of editing. Bleh.
No way around it, we need to ban mail-in voting that isn't overseas service related. We also need Congress to pass explicit laws (either by statue or Constitutional amendment) outlawing non-citizens from voting in any election and authorizing the DoJ to enforce that.
Will we ever get either of those? Probably not. Not without some seriously bad shit happening. The Dems will fight it tooth and nail and the Republicans simply don't give a fuck beyond what giving them lip service does to their donation rates.
We need a party that actually gives a fuck about this country, and quite frankly, I'm willing to burn down the GOP to get it.

I think the medical community really missed an opportunity when they went with priapism instead of vigor mortis.

In my humble non-Navy opinion; the names Enterprise, Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga, Hornet, Wasp, Ranger, and Independence should be in permanent rotation for the carriers.

This is actually such a perfect description of the left/right dynamic, but I'm not sure the OP actually understands why.
What do they tell you in the emergency instructions on a flight? Put on your mask FIRST, then help your kids. You must be "selfish" in order to be of service to others. While leftist worldview may appear noble, it's actually very impractical and counterproductive in the real world. The right wing worldview is what builds, maintains, and rescues societies, though on a superficial level it appears to be selfish and icky.
This is how you see very good-natured, well-intentioned people fall into highly destructive socialist dogma; its veneer of virtue and selflessness is irresistible. They're not bad people (though the commie street animals are), they just have never built anything, nor rescued anything, nor dealt with an emergency, etc...so they don't understand how things actually work.
In BLS/First Responder training they'll test you with a hypothetical question: Let's say you're a firefighter. You're out mowing the lawn in front of the station, and you witness a massive car wreck. What's the first thing you do?
Most people reasonably say "run over and extract the driver" or "call for the ambulance and grab a fire extinguisher", and they fail. The correct answer is: turn off the lawnmower. If you don't slow down and do that first, it'll roll off into the street and cause even more destruction.
The first principle of emergency response is: ensure the scene is safe. There's no point in initiating a "rescue" if it's not safe, and you, yourself, need to be rescued. While the average person might be outraged because a first responder is not darting over to the patient with enough haste, it's because they do not understand how things can break bad. There's a checklist of procedures that has been developed over centuries, written in blood, that informs how they do things, and in what sequence. And what may appear "selfish" is actually just...responsible and pragmatic.
Edit progress on Harvester has now hit the 80% mark, chapter-wise.

Threatening half a country with prison, ruin, or worse and expecting electoral obedience is a fascinating strategy in a nation founded by men who answered tyranny with rebellion. America’s oldest political instinct isn’t submission. It is defiance.
May the most intolerant side win.

The reason so many people are so upset about The Wrong People being sad at Sir Patrick Stewart's death is because it proves that not making your sociopolitical beliefs your entire identity is not only possible, but celebrated, and they just can't have that.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.
