Make fun of baby boomers all you want but taking a shit without your phone, wow, can’t imagine. Such restraint, such strength.

I was listening to metal on the way to the hardware store.

Was called “sir” in the hardware store.

Cried in the way home from the hardware store.

One tableau from my mother’s sewing room that explains everything about her and a good chunk of why I am the way I am.

Realizing the adventure I illustrated in Dragon Delves would be perfect to run in October.

Illustration of a giant cycloptic doll holding a red sucker mace. They're blocking a chocolate door.

Illustration of a candy cottage tucked away in a dark and spooky forest. A gumdrop-lined road leads up to the cottage and is flanked by flowers and thorns.

Illustration of a sinister-looking figure with green skin and pointed ears. They're holding two terrified gingerbread men shaped like D&D adventurers. A chocolate frog and a candy-stealing insect is nearby.

Cover of the D&D Dragon Delves adventure anthology book.

Does @bsky.app traffic go up tenfold during a congressional hearing? That sucks.

*the opinion section is an atavism from a time in which differing opinions had value and journalism wasn’t all opinions.

I’d much prefer to read about a “once a year furniture and mattress sale, with prices so low you can’t afford to say no.”

The Wall Street Journal Opinion Page* is a welfare program for the most mediocre graduates of the Ivy League.

Or to use their parlance “these people are lazy and need to get real jobs.”

Kurt Andersen @kurtandersen.bsky.social · 2d

Declaring attempts by the military (and other nonprofits) to reduce bigotry against nonwhites, women and gays excessive is an opinion. But Christopher Caldwell’s assertion that “D.E.I. has wound up…making businesses concerned as much with social justice as with profit” is just factually ludicrous.

He’s a nazi.

Nobody cares.

He’s a human mutated with condoms flushed into the sewer system.

That tracks.

He dresses with the vanity of a child trying on their parent’s suit.

Boom. Got him.

Father and son have conversation about how they begrudgingly enjoy Timothée Chalamet.

“I thought Wonka was great”

Passing the Chik-fil-A by my parents’ storage space, I referred to it as a siren’s scent for which I required a Ulysses Pact to abstain from.

So like, if I hadn’t left Virginia I reckon they’d have kicked me out.

Or don’t.

I mean, the brakes are off this thing and anything goes.

Reading an article in The Independent about about a ChatGPT search history for a criminal charge.

The article is also smothered in AI slop ads.

We continue to be unprepared.

If you buy my parents home it comes with the remains of five cremated dogs somewhere in the backyard.
