Ah the subtle nuance between the C# and the Db, perceptible only to the most discerning of listeners 🧐

a man in a blue shirt and tie is standing in front of a wall with a lot of papers on it . Alt: Charlie Day beside his conspiracy wall in “It’s Always Sunny”. The camera zooms in on his crazy-eyed expression.

My new conspiracy theory is that the BBC secretly engineered the introduction of “BBC” as a porn category so that searches for “f*ck the BBC” or “BBC sucks” return a bunch of porn results rather than criticism of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

a man in a green shirt is screaming and saying `` fine by me '' while standing next to another man . Alt: Ross from Friends pretending to cry, then yelling “FINE BY ME”

Sometimes I’m like “How can the far right hate us *so much* that they’re willing to blow up their own lives just to make us sad?”

Then I see AI CEOs saying “You can’t let our AI companies fail or we will ALL suffer! Including you!” and

This was me trying to write last weekend, with my cats absolutely dismantling the room around me the whole time.

after reading the Nuzzi and Lizza pieces yesterday I don’t want to see any of you badmouthing your own writing again

Whence the bullet theoretical? 🧐

"Everyone’s got their thing. For some, it’s baking. Others, gardening. Me? I like to take a modified Honda Accord, drive over 100 mph, and swerve between cars, almost killing entire families, babies, men, women, whoever."

“Tis always an option, when fixin’ to spend time with a lady, to fuss with her nethers in a leisurely way if she’s so inclined” Amazing.

My main thing about #TheBeastInMe so far is that Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys appear to be wearing the same lip color.

*sitting up with a calm, contented sigh, having written a sentence I like*

*sound of furniture CRASHING behind me as a chair is tipped over in pursuit of a light that moved • pages scatter • a guitar is toppled*

Conventional wisdom: cats are excellent companions for writers, snoozing quietly while their human works ❤️

My attempts at writing: cats tearing the room apart chasing the light reflected off my pen, my watch, my glasses, my screen. Me screaming at them to stop. Zero writing accomplished, ever.

When a dog needs noticing, @maureenjohnsonbooks.com does not mess around!

The image on this post is *particularly* delightful.

A yellow box with a photo of stacked brownish dough balls, with syrup dripping onto them. Blue text reads Feel Good foods Pancake Balls. Apparently they are Danish-style and Buttermilk-flavored.

Feel Good Pancake Balls

Yesterday I decided to commit to writing something (Anything! A scene with no context! A haiku! A thank you note!) every day this month. Then I decided to mention it here to keep myself accountable.

Then I did neither, so that’s how that’s going 🙃

Stopping at 3 advent calendars this year. Maybe next year I’ll officially do my “can I live exclusively off of advent calendar food and drink for a month?” experiment.

Someone is making a shitload of money off a pop song with the chorus "I really really really really really really like you", so write whatever lyric you fucking want.

My new thing is “talking” to myself via notes and journals, with the aim of getting past my tendency to pre-dismiss literally everything I write. This morning they were playing pop music in the dentist’s waiting room and I wrote this.

The Last Remaining Newspaper’s Obituary for David Duke, ca. 2033 The following message has been approved by the FCC, Louisiana Commissar’s Branch. - - -David Ernest Duke, devoted father, community leader, and pas...

"From 1974 to 1980, Duke was an active leader of a community organization he founded that championed the power of dialogue and debate."

I wrote this (EXTREMELY ROUGH) thing back in April and forgot about it. Went ahead and posted without editing to capitalize on the inevitable #7LayerBurrito craze that will be sweeping the nation any minute now. www.klarawells.com/2025/09/seve...

We got Severance s2 earlier this year and now Taco Bell has brought the #7LayerBurrito back*! AM I MAGIC?!?

The iPhone 17 Air: Apple's thinnest phone yet The headline going into next week is the rumored iPhone 17 Air, Apple's boldest design departure since the iPhone X. Reports suggest this ultra-thin device will measure just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, a dramatic cut compared to any iPhone

Apple is launching the Ozempic Phone tomorrow

The Macarena Vogue Stayin' Alive Play that funky music, Chipmunk I'm too sexy(?!?) Turn the beat around

Songs I heard through the door of my niece’s tap dancing class this evening (all Alvin & the Chipmunks versions, not the originals)

I don’t think you’re crazy! I’ve had exactly the same thought. Suddenly in the past few months it’s taking correctly-spelled words and changing them to other words or to “words” that don’t exist! LLM crap is the only explanation that makes sense.

Oh wow that sounds so much like… wait…

IT IS! IT’S MY THING THAT GOT PUBLISHED IN MCSWEENEY’S! ❤️

Good God. Imagine looking at British TV comedy and thinking, “Hmmm… not American enough.”

Granted his main point seemed to be that he wanted way more episodes, but IF IT AIN’T BROKE (and British TV comedy really, really ain’t broke!)

Was trying to find this to confirm it’s real. Turns out it’s from Threads and dril is killing it over there

The white screen of death on the BBC Sounds app, informing me that it is no longer available to people living outside the UK.

I got one extra week and I made the best of it. Here ends an 18-year love affair (and/or here begins a new era of paying a VPN company money I would’ve PREFERRED to give the BBC). #BBCSounds

That’s an interesting thought! I haven’t set foot in the UK in years, so it wouldn’t explain my still having access. Hmmm.

Thank you! I had seen that, but with the time difference, the loss of on-demand functionally means I can’t really listen like I have.
