I want my tuna free. Release the tuna!

Good! And, given the usual delay, that should be true in the U.S. by the year 2100.

I wonder if they also sell "near beans" made from fish.

Ha! Me too, now that you mention it. 🤣

I just can't with these "food" companies these days.

Bill Jones Jr @billjonesjr.bsky.social · 9h

No, I was suggesting you lower the whole thing into the river. It's filthy. 😆

Shit they try to make us eat, #1.

1. Fish-free tuna - what the hell is fish-free fish? How about I pay you in cash-free cash?

2. Tiny shrimp - Naw, too big for me. I'm holding out for the dwarf embryonic shrimp. Fool, I ain't eating your bait.

I would like to point out that whatever this food-adjacent substance contains, it was apparently naked when they killed it.

How small does a shrimp have to be in order to fit 220 of them in a tiny can? Shrimp sperm size, that's how small. Shrimp jizz and cheese? No fanks.

I am definitely writing Squint McClintock into my latest book. Eddie Daley won't be able to stop staring, hoping to determine how the man can see him with his eyes narrowed below even Clint-Eastwood squint levels. Getting light into those eyes is akin to squeezing toothpaste into a tube.

"The hell you starin' at?"
"You. You're blocking my view."

I don't know if the colors within the windows are the result of clever architectural design, the residents' choices, or both. In any case, it works.

When I posted this, I should have mentioned this was my (then) best friend and not some old-guy-perv shot. 😆

Trump saw Grimm, thinks it's real, and is now trying to fight Wesen.

I'm about 20,000 words into my 20th book, tentatively titled Eddie Daley: Black, White and Blue. It takes place mostly in NYC, so I'm relieving my time there, prospecting for cool locales.
