Today I would like to shout out that one random Twitter person who made up that JD Vance bragged about fucking a couch.

Imagine making a random shitpost and less than two months later your joke is being used by a major party nominee for Vice President on live television at his introduction rally, earning him thunderous applause.

That poster must be having quite the experience.

For my part I have sought liberty more than power, and power only because it can lead to freedom. What interested me was not a philosophy of the free man (all who try that have proved tiresome), but a technique: I hoped to discover the hinge where our will meets and moves with destiny, and where discipline strengthens, instead of restraining, our nature.

I want my life to revolve around dying to learn everything about science, politics, literature and music so that I can argue with people with extra intellect and extra delusion (that would be me)

Harry stares at Voldemort's face, slack in unconsciousness, his body sprawled across an expensive leather couch. "I can not fucking believe that worked."

"Why would I have done it if it wouldn't have worked?" Draco demands, with his mother's face and her voice and his mocking eyeroll.

The dementor Draco had found - her name is something Harry's convinced a human throat can't pronounce, but she'd signed that they could call her Tori - sways hopefully in the direction of the chest of horcruxes.

Apparently the terrifying, soul crushing dread that dementors give off is something they can consciously turn on or off. Being around her is just sort of cold.

"Yes, yes, sorry, please go ahead," Draco says, flipping open the chest revealing the assorted treasures Voldemort had stored his soul in. "Nagini is just down the hall if someone wants to go take care of that."

Hermione checks that the safety is off of her pistol then says, "On it."

"Don't kill her," George says, eyeing Tori as various items disappear underneath her robe. "We need her alive for Tori to suck out their souls. Just incapacitate her."

"Aim low," Ron says, a heap of acromantula silk rope over his shoulder.

"I could help," Harry starts, feeling especially useless.

Fred shakes his head. "No, no, the timing is very important here."

"Yeah," Draco says, looking over a desouled ring with interest. "Just sit there and wait to get a soul sucked out."

Great.

"Oh, don't look so put out," Draco says. "At least it won't be yours. Right Tori?"

She nods. Harry supposes she seems trustworthy. It's not like he's that trusting of wizards that work at a prison, so he probably shouldn't hold the other dementors he's met against her.

Oml!! According to one of ur posts you go to galas sometimes? Ur so lucky!!! How do you get invited??

Lots of modern galas/fancy events are pay to play, i.e. buy a ticket, make a donation, etc. if you serve on a board or volunteer for an organization, you also often get tickets. For political events, it’s more about networking. For big fundraisers, it’s easy to get your foot in the door as someone else’s plus one, or there are sometimes scholarships (not kidding, financial support exists for the more expensive events). I’ve been invited to a lot of events purely because I already have a few black tie outfits, I’m decent arm candy for a variety of conversations, and I can be ready quickly.

They aren’t as fun as people might think. Sometimes they can be, but usually it’s 200-300 people in black tie crammed into a hotel ballroom trying to figure out if the bar has more than one kind of vodka without actually going over there. Because that means running into people, which means talking to people. And if I’ve learned anything from those events, being seen by several people is the goal; after that, you can leave and do whatever the hell you want. Including taking off your heels…
