Your angry racist grandpa who complains he can't understand a word Bad Bunny sang still thinks Louie Louie is the greatest American rock song.

Everyone standing idle & letting him do this are idle b/c they're also profiting from it. Stop appealing to his silent partners for help. They all need to go. This won't be solved by appealing to the rich & powerful. It'll be solved by crowds of angry poor people taking direct action against them.

Notepad++'s updater got hacked, but it's fixed now. Update now to be sure you're safe. (You were probably safe anyway because it was a pretty targeted attack.) It's a great program & I suggest it to everyone. Be cool like me and run it as portable. notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacke...

#Pebblebee products are garbage. I've wasted an hour trying to get this card to link to my phone. No luck yet. No instructions in the package other than a link to online setup. No trouble shooting documents either and no way to start over or know what went wrong other than doing a factory reset.

I found a .csv file of my old Twitter "following" list. So, if I recently followed you, it may be because I used to follow you there--before Musk turned it to shit.

Everyone knows that real men don't suck cops. If you're a cop sucking MAGAt I guess it's because your parents raised you wrong.

IIRC these are the only 4 excerpts to my novel I've ever shared publicly. Now I just need a place to submit it.

I've been saying for years that half the espionage novels out there are about what happens if a Russian agent gets into the White House, but apparently there was no actual plan should it happen IRL.

Driving traffic to your buddy’s substack blog isn’t a form of resistance or activism, and I wish more people would realize when they’re contributing to this instead of thinking they’ve done something useful

My 2026 resolution is to keep a bullet journal but I can't decide between 9mm or .44.

I'm doing too many non paying writing jobs already. I gotta make some money somewhere. 🤣

Hamburger Helper implies the existence of hamburger hindrance.

One of the tech pages I follow on social media has a suggested reading list which included this book. So I found it at my local library. It looks like a kids or tween book but I'll read it anyway since I found it. #amreading

I donated to #Wikipedia today. The money I've spent on Wikipedia--an encyclopedia that anyone can edit--is probably now 3x the money I've ever spent on both of the real fact checked encyclopedias I own.

It's amazing. Every writer should read it. I've read it 3 or 4 times and taken notes. I think the only 2 novels I've read more or taken more notes from are Dracula and Wuthering Heights.

My gripping reading for Thanksgiving weekend. It's still better than football. #amreading

Trump now agrees we should release the files...which means he's already destroyed evidence.

I guess you really are what you eat. That's why he's a little pussy and a dick.

You're all sitting around waiting for Congress to reopen like the kid waiting for his dad who went out for cigarettes 8 hours ago & took a suitcase with him. Wake the fuck up. Understand the position you're in. It's not gonna be like Star Wars with Tarkin sweeping in to tell you they dissolved it.

This is why you don't ask the interwebs for writing help. #amwriting #amediting #funny

Today's weird thought: Julian Gough's The End poem gives similar vibes as the 2 supernatural voices in Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Why has nobody else mentioned this? The long punishing journey which changes the hero, the sleeping hero, dream state, the possibility that the voices are angels, etc.

It's 100 a month actually. I can't even read that much. Once upon a time I wanted to put a "to do" on my phone to download the limit every month but I have yet to do it. With all the other reading on my TBR list I couldn't manage. Also don't forget about the old JSTOR torrent that's still out there.

Basic 4 is better. I will die on this hill of raisins and cranberries. 🤣

This mother fucker couldn't spell I.Q. if you asked him to sound it out.

Just to show you how politics is fucking up my productivity, this year I started tracking news articles I've read alongside books I've read. So far this year I've only read 37 nonfic books, 12 fiction books--but 214 news articles in my attempt to keep up with the shit show.

Out of the inner circle : a hacker's guide to computer security : Landreth, Bill, 1964- : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive 230 p. ; 24 cm

I'm re-reading Out Of The Inner Circle by Bill Landreth. I read it once in 1989 and again in 2001. Oddly, I took no notes on it either time. I'm gonna read it again just to see what memories it inspires. It's free on Internet Archive. #amreading

They know perfectly well that they are doing that. They're just trying to exploit the short memories of most Americans. The fact that so many Americans can't clearly remember 4 or 8 years ago is a huge part of the problem.
