I will now have an entire shelf of problematic fantasy authors’ works.

Disappointed. Business Insider of all things has a timeline on the accusations against Gaiman. www.businessinsider.com/the-sandman-...

Neil Gaiman, *63yo, insists that his sexual relationship with his live-in nanny,*23, which started on her first night at his home, was consensual. It’s not the 80’s sir. The power imbalance & her dependency on you for employment & housing, make this at a minimum coercive & far from consensual.

I had to bail on On1 as an alternative to Lightroom. On1 started glitching out and became extremely frustrating to work in.

Just add "Honk if..." to the beginning of this and you'll have my new bumper sticker. (My second number sticker would be "Stop tailgating!")

It's not just that I'm afraid we'll be unable to convince voters Biden isn't too old. It's that I think Biden is too old. I would obviously vote for him over Trump, and I will fight hard to convince every voter to do the same if he stays in as nominee. But the debate was damning new evidence.

Finally saw a Cybertruck IRL and it was like seeing the Oscar Meyer wiener dog car except the driver thinks he's Knight Rider.

Me at my most devious: “Come into Castle Greyskull and stand squarely on that rug there. Don’t mind me as I sit upon this throne...”

Not really an exaggeration at all.

Oh my God, vote or we’re all dead.

Last night while restless in bed, I had to recite to myself this very relevant poem by Wendell Berry: When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be... www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/peace-w...

I babbled something incoherent during a morning meeting and now that will live with me for days.

For "robots in disguise" who do the Transformers think they were fooling?

Assange is no hero. Assange is no freedom fighter. Assange is a terrorist. Assange had ONE purpose. To bring down America for his own ego-driven popularity gain seeking. Assange is a low-life thug and Putin pal. Aaron Swartz was a hero. Assange is an ass.🤷‍♂️

Navalny killed, Novaya Gazeta 'not desired' - what a free Russia there is 😋

Pretty sure that if I got superpowers now, my younger self would consider me a villain.

"How are you?" Fitness trainer responses: "Fine": WOOOOOO! "Tired": WOOOOO! "Depressed": WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "Confused as to whom you are referring to": WHHOOOOOOOOOO?

I get that glasses are expensive because one company essentially has a monopoly, but can someone tell me why picture frames are so damn expensive?

The only positive of having COVID was I was able to experiment what it was like to eat hot sauce and wasabi without being able to taste. It's just two different types of pain with absolutely no yumminess. Duh.

Guess we should start handing out pride flags with the 10 commandments on them to schools in Louisiana...

How does one summon the Satanic Temple?

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana becomes the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms.

The closest to godlihood I experience is when someone in the household comes to me with a tech problem and they can't reproduce it in my presence. There should be a da Vinci painting of me glancing downward at an iPad held before me.

Now split Adobe up

When cops shot Linda Tirado in the George Floyd protests, they destroyed one of her eyes with a rubber bullet. The subsequent brain damage is proving fatal. Linda needs funds for hospice Venmo: Linda-Tirado-3 PayPal: Bootstrapindustries@gmail Zelle: 806.433.6075

Oh no. It's Flag Day tomorrow.

Karateka was one of those games that was so ahead of its time in the 80s. Loved it. youtu.be/DyfNjdTaFLE?...

A world where everyone can use The Force to move things but it takes 5 times more exertion to telekinetically pick something up from across the room than actually walking and picking it up. (As I stare longingly at a Hydroflask atop a table I literally would have to do one sit-up to get.)

Wear your masks, peeps. COVID finally got me. No likey. It’s the weird heart shit that’s troubling. Would’ve been nice if masks just became accepted as common sense.

When I say "I'm fighting a cold," I mean "I'm in denial of the inevitabile."

Kabukicho (I & II) is probably the best people-watching live cam feed to stream while you work. Seeing folks drunk at 6 in the morning is amusing. Also, the most dramatic thing was a bunch of dudes beating on a guy (he seemed okay) today. youtube.com/clip/UgkxPoL...

Dumb things that make me lol

Not of the alphabet mafia but appreciate the fit. Happy Pride!

IT'S PRIDE SEASON! If you want to be loud and proud but aren't into wearing rainbows, I've got your back.

It's like 34 billionaires imploded in submarines around here.

I'm finding so many of y'all happy folks to follow right now.
