I wish you were kidding

*Probably*NotAnAI @probablynotanai.bsky.social · 1d

I fully support this logic

I don't want a triple zero coupon bond, I want a double zero 7 one.

Sad but it did make me laugh out loud 😄

I just heard "mansplaining" defined as "correctile dysfunction." I spat out my coffee.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Humorous (to me anyway) photo in a Chinese fast food restaurant of a hand making the rock on gesture with "wok on" visible in the background between fingers.

I can't understand saying that I mean these are the kinds of things that even maga can see isn't right. Right? Gas prices are up I just saw gas over $5 I couldn't believe it. I literally put $5 on gas thinking I've got to find a pump that isn't that. Because even 50 cents less somewhere, matters.

I get texts "from him" periodically, and he's such a great guy, always looking out for others.

Anyone know how to request #Libby to pre-order an author's book (if possible)?

That's good. I read all the October books on the Kindle, because after accumulating thousands of books over my ahem a couple or so decades I just can't buy more physical books until I get that house with a library.

*Probably*NotAnAI @probablynotanai.bsky.social · 14d

I appear unable to upload my video but I rode my motorcycle down the Portland waterfront and unless antifa is cleverly disguised as a Saturday market there is literally no protesting of any kind anywhere that I could see. So I haven't the foggiest what the trumped-up (🙄😬😁) basis here is.

*Probably*NotAnAI @probablynotanai.bsky.social · 14d

Do Kindle book purchases get recognized e.g. do they "count"? What about Libby rentals?

The reference to plenty of editorial feedback made me think of getting legal work handed back literally covered in red ink. It was so, uhhh, great to get such 🙄 uhhh "comprehensive" 😬 feedback. 👍😭😁

PS how would you describe use of cliffhangers in the October series?

*Probably*NotAnAI @probablynotanai.bsky.social · 16d

I don't mind cliffhangers if there's substantive resolution on major plot points. I don't like series that never seem to end because each book doesn't quite get there & then you start the next book & it leaves you hanging AGAIN.

Resolution + introducing something new I Need To Know is ok tho 😁

*Probably*NotAnAI @probablynotanai.bsky.social · 16d

Can't. That interferes with national (in)security.
