#TrumpFantasy

Donald #Trump, a day after being warned about potential #JailTime if he continues to #violate the #gagorder in his criminal #trial in New York, lashed out at the judge presiding over that case as “#crooked.”
“There is no #crime. I have a crooked judge. He’s a totally #conflicted judge,” Trump told his supporters at a Wisconsin rally Wednesday.

The Daily Beast · Donald Trump Piles on Hush-Money Judge After Jail Time WarningBy William Vaillancourt

Ik heb de autistische behoefte aan structuur en voorspelbaarheid en het ADHD-onvermogen om beide zaken aan te brengen.

Daarnaast heb ik het geïnternaliseerde validisme dat ik als volwassen man het vermogen hoor te hebben dat wél te kunnen, zonder het nodig te hebben.

#WritingWonders 3.14 — What flaws does your MC have?

Only the best!

She calls it a "death wish." She tends to defend people when others would run away, and won't admit she has a deep set need to be caught doing something right and being praised for it.

A big one is that she can't read people. She gets befriended for her actions, but doesn't understand it. She also ends up getting used a lot, but is good with it when she learns about herself. Riiight. That's a twofer. (It generally doesn't end well for those who use her.)

There's also lying. She lies when it doesn't really matter, but tells the truth when it's disadvantageous to her. She wants people to distrust her as she knows she's done a lot of bad things— wait, maybe that's a flaw, too?

@rustybrick @glenngabe FWIW my non-public 2 cents (*) is that if you're doing this within your own domain, it's probably not going to blow up. It'll be messy for sure, but bouncing between subdomains is much less trouble than doing it across unknown domains. (But also, like I mentioned, don't use the tool for this; reverting takes quite some time & it adds invisible complexity)

(*) I don't want to publicly encourage people to do this, though of course it's public. #conflicted
