don't ever touch Scrivener. I hope they sue.

what the FUCK

We have not yet seen the end of Kevin Costner's ego, apparently

I have become one of those people with multiple journals. Normally I would say this is a clue I've been consumed by aliens.

hell world

you did what. you fool. you absolute menace. the people are begging.

Holy fuck, it's about integrity in your reporting, not the sex itself. They were wrong in literally every other aspect of this topic (including choosing their initial targets), but even Gamergate understood this.

Jim Varney walked so Walton Goggins could run.

stop recommending Harry Potter dlcs for powerwash simulator, you crusty goons. Please, Futurlab, never do it. Don't even feel you need to say anything. Just don't touch the sweating dynamite.

I just fell in love with Colorverse shimmering inks so I hope they stay chill amidst the fountain pen dramas. Please stay chill.

I feel like I need to do a concise fountain pen sins post, for when people can't remember who did what.

-Muji: coerced Uyghur labor
-Noodler's: racism (egregious), ink damages pens, covid conspiracist.
-Goulet: anti-queer, on staff for a southern Baptist Convention church.
...

boy I hope, just once, that IGN does that shitty valfuck thing where you get extra money per so many clicks, because Running Man Pennywise guy just made rent.

First thing I learned (not really but close) was skip FWP, Noodler's, and Goulet.

This site got me penabled deep. I now have three kakunos in different nib sizes, and the new medium one is inked with a shimmer Cat ink from Colorverse. One of four inks I bought. Cat was syringed into a clean cart, but I also have a con-70 converter. #fountainpens

I'm keeping traditions alive: the person in the gnarliest metal tee you've ever seen is gonna make an effort to be the nicest person around. I love trader joe hell hours. let me be your gentlest customer. I will never ram your cart like a bitch. It's time to just be chill.

I mean it from the bottom of my heart, just create for yourself first and then for the five people you keep captive in your basement.

it's imo more interesting to look at the reasons creating the dialect shift, especially where it touches on tech, social issues, fashion, etc

if a social group or culture develops a language style and that language style draws argument that drifts close to the fights over aave and other cultural dialects, i always hope people pause and think about that.

me editing a piece about Ebert and a particular sf film I love and everyone else hates: VINDICATION!

“Feet first,” I believe he said. Details matter 🥰

Have received my latest dollop of the very fucking worst news I've heard this year, and I'm seriously gonna start considering a hobby in consuming illegal drugs. For legal purposes, this is, of course, hyperbole. I'm actually considering becoming a hitman to cope.

bro the worst child trafficker in modern history was trying to warn us about Trump. the fuck.

aaaand a knock-off version of a book club questions-for-discussion section. Who let them do that? It tells me you're not confident enough to let the story stand for itself, and that you're willing to be confrontational about reader interpretation. Come on.

Finished reading a debut horror novel that has some pretty solid story beats in between some of the roughest prose. Trying hard to catch the Vandermeer weird fic tone, but I get it. Then it ends with an author's note explaining what the characters represent.

oh no. my money.

I mean I guarantee the Schumer faction thinks that this is all a gross, weird bump and sooner or later politics will be normal, with no actual grasp of the facts: the power faction is not going to let their authoritarian stranglehold go. Just fuckin.... Fuck.

Not excusing this in the least. Wherever possible, uproot the old guard or shame the utter fuck out of them until they get a glimpse of Earth again. Literally the worst possible era to be a casually grazing ancient democratic elk. Bulldozing going on and they just whicker vaguely.

One of the biggest problems is that career Dems genuinely do not understand the real world after their second decade; deep down they probably think they mean well, with incredibly out of date ideas of progress. So they do stupid fucking shit when the world is on fire. Because they don't know.
