My goal on this platform is to not form any parasocial relationships. Let me know if you're aware of anyone who has good advice on that subject. Or just anything interesting to say. And if you think they'd like to be my friend.

I was going to make some joke about some famously dedicated figure in science or the humanities saying this, but there's way too many options. Daniel Webster, Melville Dewey, Gregory Mendel, that lady who taped every episode of the news for two decades

She's kinda the exact opposite of this guy, a horrifyingly evil sorcerer who can only do adorable magic:

This is not something I generally have reason to say, but that comparison is way too mean to Hitler

Skepticism is healthy - I would argue not accepting new ideas until they've had a chance to be thoroughly tested and confirmed is critically important for society. But I don't expect you to believe that just because I said so.

Like a video game with a well-calibrated challenge level, there's an ideal ratio of horrifying shit that warrants an automatic block - it can't be too much, like current Twitter, but if there's none, it doesn't feel like you're doing anything.

I can't believe I never thought of THE LIVESTREAM OF ANNE FRANK as either A. a sketch premise or B. a real situation this dumbest of all timelines would inevitably produce

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

So, 47 homes per acre? Is that a lot or a little? What would be a good rule of thumb?

There should be a book that's just all the characters from every other book going to the bathroom, brushing their teeth, listening to podcasts and all the other stuff they do when the reader isn't looking.

When two people are having sex on a bed, does the monster under the bed know what's going up there? Is it freaked out by the shaking? Or is it maybe into it? If so, does its presence technically make it a three-way?

Why don't people just go through the Jaunt sideways. Just scootch through, now my left half is on Mars, right half still on Earth, no senseless abyss of infinite featureless time in between, little more scootching, now I'm all on Mars, no madness bourne of eternal nothingness, no problem.

A breezily irreverent take on the Orientalist desert romance subgenre of bodice-ripper, parodic (but surprisingly hardcore):

That is a valid use of "ejaculate." People tend not to use it that way these days because of the sexual meaning, but in old-timey writing people are ejaculating all over the place.

I remember thinking about how Agent Smith insists on referring to Keanu Reeves' character as the trebly masculine "Mr. Anderson," long after he's otherwise known only as Neo - despite the respect implied lexically, it's clearly intended as a show of disrespect/aggression. No thoughts beyond that.
