I'm glad you clarified that he wasn't just constantly posting "Man, fracking is awesome, right? Woo hoo, let's frack!"

...because it makes you look credulous and feeds into the narrative that this is all just a witch hunt to smear the reputations of poor innocent billionaires. Sorry, but the story of Trump murdering a baby and dumping it into a lake is almost certainly bullshit and spreading it around only serves...

...a Satanic orgy, that's going to be in the files, even if it deserves no more credence than the Satanic Panic of the 80s. There's more than enough horrible shit in the files that's actually verifiable. Spreading the more sensational stuff that has no supporting evidence is counterproductive...

I've learned that pretty much any account that's just generic advice or "inspiration" for writers is almost always just posting engagement bait.
The aforementioned account lol:

I need to read this. Everyone tells me I need to read it. I actually have Song of Solomon in my ebook TBR, and I'll probably read it soon, but my brain isn't working very well these days, so I've been daunted by it.

Tony Todd was so good in everything he did. I always felt that he should have been a bigger star.

Ya know, being a practically unemployable recluse has its advantages. This doesn't surprise me a bit, honestly. The company I worked for 10+ years ago was already tracking us with GPS; and then the company I worked for after that timed our breaks to the second. This is just the latest iteration.

....no idea who he is, I'd imagine. Trioxin also passed away a couple years ago, sadly.
The picture is interesting though because it's a good illustration of how freaking huge Peter was compared to a "normal" guy. Look at the size of his head!

I can see it.

I've seen this video pop up on IG a couple times and it's weird that they use that picture as the thumbnail, because the guy "strangling" him is Jason Trioxin who was the lead singer of a horrorpunk band called Mister Monster. Most people outside of the Horrorpunk fandom have no...

I couldn't remember how long Fantomas' Delirium Cordia is, so I had to look it up: 74 minutes!

Weird coincidence... I was just reading about how Negativland put out a press release claiming that the government claimed that this song inspired a kid to murder his entire family, when in fact no one had suggested any such connection.

I think Lonesome Dove is one of those books that's so well known that people don't expect it to live up to the hype. Full disclosure: I haven't read it yet, but I fully intend to. It's the favorite book of both of my wife's parents and they tell me every chance they get that I should read it.

Have you tried Cara Caras? They're my favorites.

Living on the West Coast has completely skewed my sense of house prices, so that seems cheap to me.
Are you moving away from Las Vegas?

Well, he did serve in the Senate for several years after he died, so this would be fitting.

The cocoa powder is a good move. Adds that nice depth of flavor and subtle bitterness.

SNL - Who's More Grizzled?

In honor of Robert Duvall, my favorite Saturday Night Live sketch (this video embedded in a Reddit post is the only copy I know of online) "Who's More Grizzled?" featuring the late Norm MacDonald and a surprisingly good performance by Garth Brooks.

RIP

It's hailing outside and a hummingbird is still drinking from the feeder. They're such addicts.

Emails and audio transcripts within the files reveal that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had joined Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on a fossil hunting expedition on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Taking fossils from this reservation without tribal permission is illegal.

Wait, WTF? Stealing fossils from a Native American reservation?

Did these people just sit around trying to think up the most cartoonishly evil things they could do to amuse themselves?

Ya know, I don't wanna sound crazy or nothing but I'm starting to think maybe this Epstein guy was actually murdered because he "knew too much" as they say.

Yeah I'm sort of the same. I've always loved British comedy, music and writers. I've only started reading Wodehouse in the last few years, but I fear that my obsession with him has already become somewhat obnoxious.
I just can't fully take seriously a nation that watches darts on television.

Hoffs was also in The All-Nighter, which was also directed by her mother and which features a long scene with Hoffs in very skimpy underwear. The 80s were a weird time.

Not kink-shaming, but there's some freaky MFers in New Mexico.
