I'm reading Empowered by James Warren. It's largely funny gag humour about how the main character's power granting super suit keeps getting torn and depowering her at the drop of a hat, and she always gets tied up by the villains to be a laughingstock.

Yes, this did start as fetish art.

Anyway, it's lots of laughs and titillation and weird powers like the guy with a cinder block for a head.

And then there's Willy Pete, a fire elemental supervillain who likes to eat superhuman flesh because it cooks just right instead of burning to ash right away. And that's not the worst he does...

It's so bizarre, the final whiplash is nuts.

Anyway, I do genuinely unironically enjoy this series. Probably post more thoughts later.

24 Days of La Fayette: Day 4 – John Adams

This following excerpt is from a letter send by John Adams to James Warren, dated April 16, 1783:

The Marquis de la Fayette is an amiable Nobleman, & has great Merit. I enjoy his Friendship, & wish a Continuance of it. But I will conceal nothing from You. I see in that Youth the Seeds of Mischief to our Country, if We do not take care. He was taken early into our Service & placed in an high Command, in which he has behaved well; but he has gained more applause than human Nature at 25 can bear. It has enkindled in him an unbounded Ambition, which it concerns Us much to watch.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 5, January 4, 1782‑December 29, 1785, Cornell University Press, 1983, p. 122.

Honestly, there is nothing more that I have to add. I think this quote encapsulates La Fayette and his “problem” very well. It also illustrates something that can be seen with many people in his life – that they generally liked him and valued his friendship but also recognize that he had some less likable tendencies.
