Kind of a hoser. Likes birds.
When you see a two-headed animal, do you say:
a) oh, look a rat with two heads
or
b) oh, look, two rats with one body?
a) oh, look a rat with two heads

b) oh, look, two rats with one body?

The reason I thought of this was, with all the game remakes lately, they want us thinking the old is new again. But I was playing the Dragon Quest remake, wandering through this 25-year-old game, and I rocked up to that old priest in Cantlin, and my immediate reaction was "that guy's still alive?"
Terrible videogame idea: the first time you load the game, an internal clock starts. Real time starts passing in the game world. Starting a new save does not reset this clock. Every year, the game gets a bit harder, as NPCs and characters die, and the in-world situation degenerates.

People exist--people you know, even--who prefer the taste of diet soda. They stand in their kitchens and crack open cans of it, and they sip it and make with that "oh, so good" shudder.
...for water and aspartame.
...people you know.
...you'd probably be one of them, if you'd tried diet first.

I've developed a new, annoying habit lately: whenever someone says an accidental rhyme, I say "Burma Shave."
"I ate your bread. I thought I'd said?"
"Burma Shave."
"Oh, fuck off."
"I ate your bread. I thought I'd said?"
"Burma Shave."
"Oh, fuck off."

First time I saw "Rocky Horror Picture Show," I was fourteen, sheltered, and DEEPLY confused, sitting there staring like "what's going on?"
Then Meatloaf cruised out on his frozen motorbike, all HOT PATOOTIE, BLESS MY SOUL, I REALLY LOVE THAT ROCK 'N ROLL, and I was like YES, STRANGER, I AGREE!

What is this song?
"Here comes Johnny in again!
He's gonna do another striptease.
Hey, man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been working with the telephone!
Some call it love, yeah some call it love,
And that's like hypnotising chickens!"
...it's in my head tonight. I may have the words wrong.

Most of you follow for my art, but I live in Minneapolis right now & I have to tell you how bad things are here now. I'm not sure if what you're seeing on the news really does it justice. It's basically a battle ground on the streets.

Rules that apply only to developers who don't bring in much profit are worthless and meaningless. Either "nudify" apps are allowed, or they aren't. So, Apple, which is it?
I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

If I get my skates on, I could finish 250 novels this year.
(As in, lifetime total. Not as in, I'm going to write 250 novels this year.)
All but five have been ghostwritten, and published under other people's names. Three were finished, sold, then never published; two were personal projects.

When the party you've voted for harms somebody, you're responsible, in your small part, for the harm they've caused. It's therefore on you to do your part to help: phone a member of Parliament. Write letters. Donate. Go into your community and find out who's helping, and lend them a hand.

I've ordered a bunch of embroidery stuff.
This might or might not be the way I get back into visual art. I think being able to feel where the marks are might compensate for my poor vision.
...I forgot to get a thimble.

Turned my oven on for the first time ever, and a fan came on and blew a bunch of dryer lint in my face.
Well, that was unpleasant.

There should be a punctuation mark that reads as a raspberry.
Substitute a raspberry for a full stop; end your statement not in silence, but with a rousing "pthbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt."
(It might also be assumed you are flipping the bird.)

I...sat wrong (?) and sprained my arse cheek.
Then, there was the time I took a big gulp of ginger beer, dropped my pen on the floor, bent down to get it, and ginger beer went up my nosepipes and out through my lachrymal ducts.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

"The Busconductor Hines" by James Kelman.
...story of my life, man. Story of my life. No other book feels as real to me, no character as familiar and loathsome as Hines.
Alternatively, "The F*ck-It List" by John Niven. INSPIRATIONAL LITERATURE!

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I was disturbed to learn I posted almost 44,000 words to Bluesky this year. That's almost a novel's worth.
I ghostwrote five ACTUAL novels this year--about 380,000 words--and non-ghostwrote one novel, for 50,000 more.
I CANNOT shut up.

One time, not knowing how far Texas is from Utah, I got on a Greyhound bus from Salt Lake City to Austin. I thought I'd be arriving in five hours. I was actually arriving in three DAYS and five hours. I had no food or money, so I was delighted when a complete stranger dropped a sandwich in my lap.
I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

Oh, I've got some of those! Had some gulls nest on the roof across from mine some years back, and I caught it all, from conception (not pictured here) to first flight!
