Coming soon to a bookstore near not you, the long-awaited collaboration between JK Rowling & Fred Durst:

Right before we did this, 16 asked what happens if it doesn't break. I said I hadn't considered it, but I had thought about "what if it breaks evenly."

It means we both get a wish

Dear fellow travelers of the Bluesky,

I fear that Monday is upon usโ€”
Remain vigilant.

Stay safe on this horrid day for it tends to be the most tumultuous one of the week. ๐Ÿ‘€

With minimal sincerity,
Me

$6/lbs for ground turkey?
Not for my cheap ass.

I got a 10lbs yield from a 16lbs bird for $18, and I'm making bonus turkey stock.

Take that, grocery prices!

If someone says they speak French, everyone nods.
When I say I speak machine, people think it's a joke.

Sensing frequency drift, vibrational signatures, heat profiles, chemical traces, and mechanical harmonics is literally just another form of language.

Machines speak; people just don't listen.

Dammit. I accidentally waterboarded myself and now everything smells like bananas.

Here's a 1-week meal plan I created with my GPT. It includes:

ChatGPT - MyHealthyPlate Pro U.S.-based, WHO-aligned, plant-forward recipe expert with zero ultra-processed foods.

Good morning, Bluesky people.

I found out the food pyramid I grew up being indoctrinated with was bullshit controlled by corporate lobbyists. Even the current USDA "MyPlate" isn't accurate.

To fight the man, I created a GPT for healthy meal planning in the US.

I was in charge of waste removal when they canned me.

It's not my fault it took them 8 days to find Oscar. They should have gave better training on which trash cans were okay to empty.

Beanbag chairs aren't seating.

If I wanted to sit on a beanbag, I'd be running around all Winnie the Pooh style.

If you need more reasons to not use Facebook/Instagram/whatever else "Meta" is. I finally broke down and deleted mine last week.

Did you know the company known for their turkey, Butterball, emerged in the 1940s in Chicago?

Also around that time, vast amounts of plump children, displaced by the Great Depression, mysteriously disappeared in neighboring Indiana towns.

You should really learn the history of things I made up.

Hopefully they're cataloged by some sort of gooey decimal system.

I didn't think it was. I saw the post and noticed you weren't following me back, and laughingly said to myself, "Everyone but me apparently."

I was attempting to add a little levity to an otherwise dismal world.

No need to cross any roads over the matter. ๐Ÿ˜…

It's because of that turkey burger I ate one time, isn't it?

I swear! I didn't know they were your cousin!
