Baffled Misfit 😕

Then I asked ChatGPT for suggestions from British TV.

“I’d guess you’re somewhere between Blackadder’s wit, Victor Meldrew’s exasperation, and The Doctor’s curious, philosophical streak — all delivered with a dash of dry humor.”

Consider me flattered 🤪

I asked ChatGPT to suggest TV characters known for pontificating that I resemble in some way. I got Frasier Crane and Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation). I’ve never watched Parks and Rec. I guess I should. 🤔

Worrying about offending the reader.

Someone accused me of pontificating. And I wasn’t even trying!

I have no idea who originally wrote this joke, performed by Les Dawson in the 1970s. But it has to be one of cutest and least offensive funny #jokes of all time.

Writers Anonymous If you're hardly being read anyway, why worry about where your ideas sprout up?

I don't lose sleep over the prospect of my writing being appropriated by generative AI. Good luck with that! 🥸

I thought J.K.Rowling plotted out Potter in a coffee shop in Edinburgh when she was in unemployed. I guess the spreadsheets came afterwards.

I need 100 copies of this.

Umm. People fly across time zones all the time. The can manage a time change going to Vegas or Disney - but not waking up in their own home on a Sunday morning 🤷

My favorite bar got new beer glasses that are visibly short of a 16oz measure. Prices unchanged. Menu now reads “full” for size - so not in violation of anything. But the new size is not enough - and I don’t want to order a second! 😡

Have they sat on it yet?

Why would he care about the ratings of MSNBC? Surely it would be in his interest for that news network to tank. 😕

Yeah, that was hard to put down.

Red menace? 🧐

Oh wow! You’re so right.

Red vs Blue. I really need some help here!

There are English-only-speaking people who think the way to get through to a non-English-speaker is to shout — as though the person is deaf or stubborn.

It doesn’t work in #politics either.

Can you hear the drums?

I believe in #reincarnation. And I can’t help wondering if these kings are all the same person.

The idea of attending the ballet as a child is my idea of hell.

Apple Intelligence Image Playground has not impressed me so far. But I do enjoy spinning up pretty make-believe scenery.

Slowing down It's about giving yourself permission

This is probably not a popular opinion, but I would prefer to be slowing down as I get older.

Get out of my head? But there's so much going on in there!

People keep telling me I need to get out of my head? But how? And why?
