I was at a reading at Ft. Lewis College back in '87 with Ellison, Silverberg, and one other who escapes me now. Sitting right next to Ellison. Someone asked if reading anything, no matter how bad, was better than nothing and he yelled, "Hell, no. Bad books are worse!" It's stuck with me since then.

Never check a #writer's browser #history unless you want to go places that make 4chan seem like Candy Land. Also, never go to Candy Land; it ain't what you think it is.

Those who don't study #history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do study history are doomed to warn everyone else and watch helplessly while a bunch of knuckleheads repeat history because of "the good ol' days".

This really needs to be Trump's Presidential Portrait. It perfectly sums up his presidency and his abilities as a leader.

"Think of it as mapping mental #geography. All the hills and valleys of your mind. Once we've got the map, we'll make a lot more of you and put them in sexbot bodies and sell them to sheiks."

Something something #geography blah love or something. Look, man, it's, like 5:45 in the morning. You can't expect me to be clever at this hour.

So, apparently that "#Famous Chicken 'n' Waffles" place isn't all that famous. I asked someone on the other side of town and they'd never heard of it. The name is a lie!

Far too many people in our culture have tipped over from being #famous into being infamous.
Maybe that's what we get for assuming celebrities are good at anything other than being celebrities.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of childhood indoctrination like that. Let them decide when they're older if it's something they're interested in.

Religious indoctrination is not #education. Literally nothing in the Bible will help you in today's job market.

I got my #education on the streets, yo. School of Hard Knocks and Quantum Physics. It's accredited and shit. I did my dissertation on Quantum Entanglement in Diverse Environments. It revolutionized street hockey. Now who you callin' a bitch, bitch?

The idea that you have to go deeply into debt to get an #education just so you can get a job in an unrelated field is extremely disturbing.

You'd think being married to a #domestic goddess would be awesome, and it mostly is. I just wish she'd be interested in more than manna and ambrosia. I mean, seriously, try the burgers; they're excellent.

In this era of global trade, I still prefer locally sourced, #domestically produced zombies. If you want an army of the undead done right, you have to go American.

We were way up in the back. :)
Boyz Noise was surprisingly good. The stuff he spun perfectly meshed with the show and the work with Trent was *chef's kiss*.

NiN was amazing this year. That was totally a bucket list concert for me. I've seen Ministry a few times, they always put on a great show.

Their last tour was nothing but squirrelly versions. It was amazing.

I hope everyone checked their kids' Halloween haul. I have it on good authority Antifa was putting voter fraud in the candy.
