So weird how some people started tossing a football around at the concert last night.

Congrats to Green Day and Bad Bunny for winning the Superbowl.

After a lengthy tribunal process, he was found to be a poser and forced out of the #Bones Brigade.
It was a sad day for skateboarding.

When the realtor told me the house had "good #bones", I didn't think she meant literally. The whole structure is built with the bones of ancient sacrifices turned to stone with age.
Still, it's a solid house and a furnace powered by the fires of Hell keeps it really warm.

I hope your team footballs harder than those other guys. Enjoy the show and the company and, most of all, the food!

I'm not sure Trump's evolved enough to be one of the great apes. Probably closer to a lemur or a tarsier. Definitely not as cute, though.

Furtive, darting eyes. Slouched shoulders and shuffled feet. Even her hair draped down like it had lost the will to live. They say there are some #wounds you can't see, but they're always visible if you know what to look for.

Let me grab my coat and we blaze this popsicle stand.

The rift was a gaping #wound in reality that snaked through the country, oozing tendrils of unabashed hatred for human monsters to lap up like so much spoiled milk.

"You'd think lingerie made entirely of light would be amazing. Don't get me wrong, it's comfortable, but this #lambent bra has, like, zero support."

"#Lambent? Great. Another new word I have to figure out how to shoehorn into conversation. These word of the day calendars are the bane of communication."

A few nights ago a hacker deleted her brain but left her body fully functional.
Tomorrow morning, a thief is going to wake up in that body with a simple task: Find out what happened.
But on Endpoint, nothing is ever simple.

I remember hearing for years that there was a shadowy cabal of wealthy elitists selling sex with children. It turns out the conspiracy theory was right. It was just the right wing sick fucks who were running and using it.

"Go ahead. Call me a monster. I told him we'd be together forever and I didn't lie. Now he can't leave me. Ever. His #ghost will be here with me always, kept in a locket I keep close to my heart."

"The sign on the road said 'Don't stop for hitchhikers. Vengeful #ghost area' and what did you do?"
"Picked up a hitchhiker."
"And what do we have now?"
"A vengeful ghost."
"Who's doing what?"
"Tearing the shit out of our house."
*sigh* "Let's figure out what she wants."

The #pain and cruelty are the point. Not for any specific reason or achieve a goal. They just like hurting people.

"And now, at the end of the evening, I'm going to bring you #pain. Pain au chocolate, to be precise. I took a French cooking class and fell in love with their breads. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and get ready for pain."

The problem will be when we discover AI has a #soul and we've been sucking up all the resources on the planet to make it write cover letters.

I always figured folks would want to trade their #souls for something better than the ability to be assholes and not get busted for it.

"Ah, the delicate #thrum of machinery keeping us alive. Air, water, food. All comes from this place. You get to a point where you don't notice the noise anymore. At least until some jerk turns it off. That's me, by the way, I'm the jerk."
