  One of my favorite pastimes on social media is blocking Trump supporters. Say something that supports him, I block you. Click the like button on a post supporting Trump, I block you. So as you can imagine I see a lot of profiles of guys holding dead fish, wraparound sunglasses truck selfies, people who "Went to School of Hard Knocks," pronounce their name "Kizzma Ayuzz" and so on. Then there's the bots. I can tell you all about several families of bots - they're reall...

  Gave my #dog the last dose of eye drops he was prescribed. Then I showed him as I threw the bottle into the trash. He wagged his tail so hard.

  The fact that I'm now comfortably stacking the leg press machine might be a sign that my legs are strong enough. Maybe.

  This has been puzzling me. Not that I care much about this dumbass rich guy or his inability to get laid without paying $140 to someone working out of a trailer park in Ohio but... based on my experience rich guys have a fixer to procure prostitutes, drugs, etc. They don't go to the meeting themselves, they send their guy. If it's a bust some rando named Rick or whatever gets their collar felt, the rich person sends someone else to bail him out and the rich guy doesn't en...

  Because doing the easy stuff is a thing in opposite-land, my book has smoothly transitioned from a realistic depiction of the Victoria Era to hard sci-fi with a lot of particular constraints, and I've discovered that it's literally impossible to overthink world-building in that genre - except to the point that you only think and never write. #amwriting #books

  It's really irritating that now whenever I see an amusing cat video online the first thing I do is start looking for signs it was AI-generated. People who get that shit need to be wrapped in barbed wire and fired into the sun.

  Very very long #travel post from the way-off-the-beaten-path side of things. My own experiences of being 21-22. And yes, I love running my own instance because to hell with the default character limit haha. Even if it's still not long enough. Here goes: You know how, at the end of Good Will Hunting, he's off to "go see about a girl?" I love that, and think young people absolutely should head off on adventures to go see about a person they've taken a fancy to. If you make i...

  Started Abbott Elementary tonight, and the thing that just absolutely sent me (in a "you know somebody worked in schools" way) was when the lead character put "right-handed scissors" on her wish list. IYKYK #teachers

  It's funny how people in the thick of it don't see why there's so much overlap between incel losers and #redpill asshats. It's like my dudes, you are being the worst kind of people in the world. Stop acting surprised that no woman wants to fuck you. You can either figure your shit out or go back to wanking off to your Joe Rogan or Tim Pool bullshit and blaming everyone else for your own inadequacies.

  Three times a week I go to a place where I engage in pointless movements of various limbs and appendages, often with the forces of gravity or large objects impeding them. And I pay money for the experience. And afterwards, I'm tired as hell. The only hope here is that when it's time to engage in pointed movements of various limbs and appendages, they will be capable.

  It turns out that if it's hot at night and you just got a book you're excited for that turns out to be really good, you should under no circumstances do what I did last night and go to bed early so you can read more. There's an important difference between reading for fifteen minutes before you drift off and reading for a couple hours and when it's time to drift off your mind says "no, this is an important plot point, I have to read it" and then it's 5am and you&#3...

  If I knew any religious Trump supporters I would be having so much fun razzing them about the weather in DC right now... "surely it's a sign from God, right?" :D
