JHC, I campaigned and voted for this POS!

When I was a kid, the jazz in Charlie Brown specials depressed me. Now it makes me feel realllll mellow.

When I was a Boy Scout in the ‘70s, we had red berets, and I hated it with a passion. Sliwa celebrates my childhood trauma

Well *that’s* the reason everything sounds so familiar.

Maybe they can dust off the old Facebook poke function?

Maybe he asked grok?

I’ve had a few non-genetically related uncles and aunts, including a dude a couple years younger than me

Even though I never followed Cilizza, I just went and blocked his dumb ass.

I write a lot of short stories, not to publish or share, just for myself and some friends, but I’d never freaking use AI. I’m not great or even particularly good, but I have too much self-respect to use slop. My flaws are my own. BTW, you are a great writer!

I’m watching it right now!

“[Randolph] Carter did not wish to meet a bhole.” I mean, should we tell him not to reach around?

Oh gods, now the bholes are rustling!

Well, I’ve been reading “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath,” and H P Lovecraft has been talking about the nasty bholes and the enormous bholes for a full page now.

Welp, I just checked out his feed, and I have become much worse for it.

As an old retired English teacher who still calls himself an English major, I say thank you!

So if it’s Biblical, will the American farmers not harvest the edges of their fields or pick up what the harvesters drop so they can leave it for the poor and the foreigners or nah?

Welcome back, Gretchen!

I think “browncoats” is from the series “Firefly.” They were the rebels who fought against the Alliance. I’m assuming, though, Don Jr doesn’t know this, because he’s…not smart.

I may be American, but I’ll never be the Gestapo.

I just tried to make my first School Made Roll today. While it is a good first attempt at a dinner roll, it’s not that light and fluffy School Made Roll that I had in my high school cafeteria, along with Johnny Marzetti. I need to buy a *whole* lot more flour.

Sad little rhymes for planning war crimes

Before I retired from high school, I had my students read Gladwell’s celebration of Broken Windows Policing just to show what a poor thinker and writer he is. Gladwell is hot garbage. Of course he is a transphobe.

Good god! This is the same “super predator bullshit that the Clintons were pushing in the 90s.

I retired from teaching in early June, but my last few years, I told them that LLMs are slop, that they are rooted in copyright violations, and I can’t help them be better writers if they have a computer program write for them.

I read this and blurted out “BLAHHH!” when I read this, and my wife asked what was so funny.

I could be wrong, but did I read a year or so ago that Michigan sold student and faculty writings to ChatGTP for “training”?

…and I missed a line in the middle: “None of it meant anything.”

I ran out of characters for the final period.

@scumbelievable.bsky.social I’m only on pp 14-15 of Black Flame, and I already feel seen: “Everywhere you looked, you saw injustice, struggle, another fight to pick, and none of it changed anything. One big selfish ego trip, and it was never enough.” I graduated from college in 1985, and this was me

I remember the same thing with actors you couldn’t remember.
