Somewhere there is a person asking ChatGPT to write them a post for Social Media. That makes me sad. Just be mediocre like the rest of us.

Why is Jared Leto the way he is?

Someone on Social Media only posts what generative AI tells them to.

The urge to walk to Circle K for Beers is real. But so is the spite I have in my heart for Doug Ford.

Just occurred to me that a substantial number of folks don't actually know the difference between "insult" and "slur" 🫥

When I was a kid you never wanted to be a "poser" or a "sell out". Now I call myself a poser openly and want nothing more than to sell out.

Everything I know about Yellowstone I learned from an ad for a Tombstone Podcast. I think I'm good.

Does Bourbon taste like Arson to anyone else?

I don’t like how James Gunn made the alien spaceman from Kansas who works at a newspaper and has freeze breath silly

I don’t think I should be blamed if I mentally replied but not physically.

No war bur Class War

If I were a Cake I think I'd be a Pound Cake. Because I'm solid and kind of dense.

Did I tear up watching the Superman trailer? Yes. Yes, I did.

My new hand tattoo is in that liminal space where half of it looks like beautiful ink work and half looks like Dresden after the fire bombing.

Sometimes I love reading books I only vaguely remember. It's like running into an old friend.

The problem I have being my own boss is that my employee doesn't listen or respect authority.

A snarky remark in support of Mary Shelley and the birth of science fiction

Good morning

To outlandish. We're getting Unicorns.

I like to imagine that there are spectral libraries full of all the unwritten books of the ages. Archives of all the unsent letters of love or apology. I know there some magicians who claim to walk the stacks of such places in their dreams. How I envy them their reading. - #CLNolan

I no longer want Live Action adoptions of my favourite books. I want highly stylized Anime adaptations.

Books I read this year! All highly recommended:

Whispering Wood by Sharon Shinn (fantasy, the latest installment in her Elemental Blessings series)

A Necessary Chaos by Brent Lambert (an excellent SF thriller/romance)

The Water Outlaws by S.L Huang (I put this on all my award ballots)

1/n

I’m holding space for cake.

Education should be empowerment driven, not just fact laden.
