I should be writing. Or screaming at the world in general, which is much the same thing but less socially acceptable.

The worst part of writing for me is being influenced by the real world, then seeing that little fragment happen again and again. #writing

White male, almost 50, 6' and about 200lbs. Beard & long hair. Not quite as fit as I used to be. Zero tattoos or piercings, but I still have that old metalhead scowl.

But ... kids and pets aren't intimidated of me. I average out at a 5 or 6.
quote this with how intimidating YOU think you are on a scale of 1 - 10 and let other ppl reply to it with how intimidating THEY think you are >:)

The Federation of Extremely Litigous Outstanding National Leaders (chair: Donald Trump) has named Donald Trump as FloridaMan(tm)* Of The Year.

Bluesky and the romantasy gang have me thinking.

We need a non-hetero enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers to enemies, where a thinly-veiled you-have-to-struggle-to-make-him-an-antihero privileged SOB is courted by a misses-every-sign-of-affection techbro.

For some strange reason, I have the urge to whistle Steely Dan's Everyone's Gone To The Movies next time I'm in earshot of a Florida politician.

This look, demonstrated by SecDef nominee Peter Hegseth, is why we have that nice and subtle warning in the fine manual about using a chainsaw while intoxicated.

I have decided that one of my warmup writing exercises should be cosmic horror in the vein of Lovecraft.

A mild-mannered white guy, young and energetic, finds himself battling a unstoppable horror that threatens every truth he's been told and spiraling him into despair as reality closes in.

Tomorrow's todo list

Head into work to get ahead so I have writing time later.

Make up a bowl of dough for a whole wheat bread, because I feel like smelling bread for hours.

Starting on chapter 2 second draft, only 106 days to go until I should have this beast ready to edit!

I did a horrible thing.

I accidentally referred to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC1) as Rep. Cockblocker.

These are the consequences of me without coffee.

12am thoughts.

If Chuck Tingle wrote a book titled "I Was A Healthcare CEO And My Assassin Used His Love Gun On Me", would that be fiction is stranger than truth, truth is stranger than fiction, or a great thing to leave at the doctor's office?

I have a prediction and don't need to ID what I'm talking about.

Two, in fact.

First, what will the conservative response be regarding ghost guns? My gut says it will be more, faster, and more definite than for dead schoolkids.

Second, that part of the response is we need more guns.
