I write sci-fi stories set in The Mortal Conglomerate, a universe-spanning megastructure where an infinitely diverse cast of characters intermingle.

Why does it matter where a Super Bowl performer is from? There have been plenty of non-US citizens who have performed. What a stupid argument.

I love that we have accessibility features that anyone can use, but the only one that doesn't benefit me is the disabled bathroom stall. I'll never understand why people prefer it. Like what are you planning to do with all that extra space? Do you need to do a tap dance after you're done shitting?

Did you know there are studios in LA that do nothing but airplane sets? You can book a small, cheap airplane cabin set for around $200/hr. Just remember this whenever you see any online videos that appear to be taking place inside a real airplane.

I don't know if this is worthy of any notoriety or interest, but I've created The Couillard Sexuality and Gender Identity Spectrum to replace the Kinsey Scale. The interface was written in JavaScript with the help of Claude 3.7

No one should be peeing and pooping together in the same room regardless of what shaped orifice they're peeing or pooping out of. All bathrooms should be private single occupancy. Whoever thought it was a good idea to pee and poop next to strangers is a freak. I refuse to participate in their fetish

Ah, I see you've depicted your cult leader as the character who loses and dies in every movie. Bold strategy.

We can all tell how dirty and greasy your phone is when you post pictures taken from your unwashed lens. It's not a cute soft focus with sepia tone, it's grease and dirt from your unwashed hands and toilet back splash.

Never meet your heroes because they might actually be a really cool person and you'll probably end up embarrassing yourself in front of them.

The thing I hate about bsky and formerly twitter is that it's all just non-contextualized takes. I see people all reacting to things but never the actual thing. I'm always forced to figure out the context on a different platform.

I'm so conditioned by the anxiety of modern existence that if we were to suddenly transcend capitalism and live in a post-scarcity socialist utopia, I'd still just fart around in front of a screen all day.

Hey, did you know if you download an image and re-upload it to bsky instead of clicking the convenient repost button, you're doubling the amount of storage it requires to display that image? Just click the fucking repost button!

Traffic Circle Signal Enforcer: I sit at a busy traffic circle and every time someone doesn't use their signal to exit, I get to chase them down and detain them while I go on a long rant on why they're an ass hole.

I think they should make a Planet of the Apes/Jurassic Park crossover where the apes have succeeded at domesticating the dinosaurs and are riding them into battle to fight the dangerous humans.

Someone should inform billionaires that they can just add and multiply numbers on a calculator or spreadsheet if they really just desire to see a number get bigger. It doesn't require an entire planet of suffering. See, even I can do it.
