It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.

Still funny that Khan says he never forgets a face and says Chekov’s name. Yet I believe Chekov wasn’t in the ST:TOS Khan episode. 😊

The Ten Rules for Writing:
1) Never write with a Pen. Real Writers only write with a sausage, dipped in the blood of other writers. 
2) Kill your darlings. If you don't have any darlings, smash some peas with your fist.
3) Get used to explaining why you are crying to your pets. 
4) A lot of your best ideas will come to you when you are staring into space, wondering why you are alive. 
5) Always introduce yourself as a writer. Eventually, all the other people waiting for the bus will back away and just let you get on first. 
6) Anything can be writing. A poem, a shopping list, running around B&Q naked with a hammer. 
7) Creating characters with rich backstories and full lives is fun until you imagine them all silently watching you sleep, hour after hour, waiting to exist. 
8) Every sentence you write must do one of three things, reveal character, advance plot, or provide the reader with an amazing opportunity to purchase Bitcoin. 
9) Ignore advice. Unless it's coming from a disembodied voice telling you to get out of a creepy abandoned slaughterhouse. 
10) Get over spells of worrying about your writing being pointless and meaningless by cleverly remembering that everything you do is pointless and meaningless.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
