I explained to my Dad, a 70 year old white dude state retiree, why we're not going to Target anymore and why we got a membership at Costco and he said "ok. Let me know next time you're going. I'll cancel my Target order." Talk to people in real life.

Donald Trump 'drained the swamp.' Put up condos. Made the swamp monsters part of his administration. "Problem solved."

Why aren't Veterans groups more up in arms about the full embrace of Nazism by GOP leaders?

I'm writing an evil religious oligarchy for my dark fantasy story and I keep getting outdone by reality and I'm like "you are really sucking the fun out of making a dystopia"

First 5000 words is the honeymoon period. Read over it thinking, "hey, this is pretty good." Past then it gets dicey. It's annoying when your own brain seems to be working against you. Stupid brain.

Guy on FB asked me if I was afraid of making enemies on the right. Hell, they've always been my enemies. These are the same people who helped make my childhood a nightmare, or their ideological and emotional kindred. I've always been their target. The only thing that's changed is I'm meaner now.

Nobody is going to want to spend nearly a hundred dollars to watch a movie where people talk at each other when it's far more convenient and cheaper to just watch it at home. Cinema is for spectacle. Television (streaming) can be just as good for drama and comedy, if not better.

Faith in Humanity depleted to dangerous levels. Recommend repositioning emotionally for the foreseeable future. Engage with people you can disagree with without thinking they want you dead.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

My ex, a woman with whom I have nothing in common but two great kids, taught me how to be wittier. My wife, my partner, taught me to be myself. Learn what you can where you can.

When your constituents start doing the math. And not liking what it's telling them.

But there was a person of color, or a disabled person, or a member of the LGBT+ community within 100 feet at the time of the accident and therefore automatically at fault. It's just math. Example. Sarcasm in text. It's so obviously ridiculous only an fool would take it seriously.

Why, oh why, are so many people obsessed with shit they don't like? Why spend that much energy on something that doesn't please you? It's weird as snake shoes. Be like me taking every opportunity to diss KISS or explain to football fans that TBIs are BAD.

When my editor told me "Humans can't speak in a growl." I'm like "Yeah, we've never met in person, have we? I definitely can do that." Works too. People take notice.

Don't let people tell you it's impossible to transmit sarcasm in text. It's just in the wording and where you exaggerate. Sure, there's some people who still won't get it, but they're usually not great with sarcasm anyway.

And that's assuming there isn't someone involved who really hates his guts. He's not nearly paranoid enough.

Now if you refer to the "Big Lie," the relevant question is "which one?"

Yes. That's what you get from me. Politics and nerd shit.

I will never understand what possessed Batman, a notoriously secretive character, to give over all his secrets to a fish guy he just met. Snyder might be great at action, but his characters don't make sense.
