The reference might be going over my head. What comes to mind are Gordon Gecko (Wall Street) or Charlie Gordon (Flowers for Algernon). Either could be appropriate.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Third YouTube video I’ve watched today about “Over the Garden Wall”. Analysis videos by Jess of the Shire and OSP; Rachel Maksy making a book nook inspired by it. I wonder if any of the other creators I subscribe to will be joining in.

So many headlines about “beloved” characters or shows, almost always someone or something I’ve never heard of.

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

I usually order my groceries for pickup, but sometimes I need one or two things before my usual day. I inevitably end up using a self scan lane, and leave thinking that the Butlerian Jihad had a point.

I get a lot of B2B spam. As annoying as the ones claiming to have ChatGPT interfaces to everything are, the one that ticks me off the most is the one that really, really wants the maintenance contract for our elevators. For a single story warehouse. That we lease.

"Beer! And by Crom be quick." called Conan over the clatter of coins he tossed onto the counter.
"Those spreadsheets best you again, Cimmerian?" replied the hawk-faced bartender as he filled a mug.
The giant nodded. "If I, an untutored barbarian, know what is or is not a date, why can Excel not?"
