* Donald Trump's tax plan is a 21.6% tax cut for the 1%, including himself, at the cost to the country of 12 trillions dollars. After all, the top 10% only have 76% of the country's wealth, not all of it, and while we have a record high wealth inequality the economy is still vaguely functional, so the best thing to do is radically redistribute even more money upwards, further robbing the social safety net, infrastructure, investments in our future, and anything that helps anyone except the 1% who contribute the least.

* Today I did all the Halloween decoration fiddly bits. All that's left is anything in the Gothmas gifts and the things I do only on the night of. I am terribly happy with it. Last year was a bit half assed. I had to give away all the spider lights, as they don't suit the set up here. I thought of a way to deploy them, but it was exhausting just thinking about it.
* I can not tell if the most recent episode of Dusk 'til Dawn was incoherent or that I just couldn't manage to pay attention enough to follow it. I am having a similar problem with the Bastard Executioner just generally. Actually, fuck it, I’m bailing ion Bastard Executioner, despite it being my period and my sort of story if it wasn’t riddled with annoying Christian visions. (A cross between Robin Hood and Return of Martin Guerre). It’s just so sloooow and watching it is a chore and I have trouble telling the characters apart.
* Addendum: I read the Fangs Dusk 'til Dawn summary tonight and I'm pretty sure it's a case of the show not making sense and me being bored enough that I wander off to do other things and miss chunks of info dump which inherently do not make sense.
