I'd rather read a romance novel than Joyce Carol Oates. Any random romance will be a lot less fucking smug.

Yep, doesn't apply - these are trad-published, and I have a legal letter from the publisher officially waiving their claim.

"We have a machine that will tell you whatever you want to hear, so you don't have to listen to facts or science!" That's...bad, though, right? You get how that's bad, right?

I just got a contagious yawn through text. Character in a book yawned, I yawned.

So after canceling the highly-regarded and award-winning Spider Noir, Deadline announced that the replacement will be a show based on...the Clone Saga. One of the most hated Spider-Man storylines ever written. Do these people just hate money?

All I can think of is how Excalibur & the crew now have to eulogize another friend two weeks after doing it for Butcher. It's so unfair for us, so unimaginable for them. Thinking of those who knew him and wishing for them a peace that doesn't seem even possible.

Weirdly, I just wrote a scene involving meta glasses too...used to signify that the wearer was a creep and a pervert. Don't think they'll be paying me for that.

This is what drives me nuts about the current ENDLESS onslaught of scam emails targeting writers. These dumbfucks think Castle was a documentary and we're all taking helicopters to book-launch parties.

So what matches are we hyped for tonight, wrestlefam? I'm super eager to see Cope and Christian x the Young Bucks x FTR. I predict that there is no chance the ring doesn't look like a literal crime scene by the end of it.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

When I interviewed and hired people for my accounting department, the idea of disqualifying someone for bringing a beverage wouldn't have even occurred to me. Like...Why? Who gives a fuck? I wanted the best candidates, and the best candidates are allowed to be thirsty.

in 2017, a trans reporter was fired at @marketplace.org for writing a blog post abt the need for journalists to resist rising fascism, racism and transphobia. @kairyssdal.bsky.social, the host of the show, said nothing & let his colleague's career be murdered. judge his hr tips accordingingly.

I have also not taken a vacation since 2022. I am seriously considering just tossing some shit in a bag, checking in at a nice hotel, and treating myself to a long weekend.

I am having a Michael Keaton "you want to get nuts?" moment. Okay, so my water heater is continuing to malfunction which means there is an alarm going off once a minute, every minute, since yesterday. No, I have not slept. Landlord is not calling me back. I am going slightly insane.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

A tuxedoed Jim Henson sits in a sea of Muppets.

happy LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS day to those who observe it (it's me, i'm the one who observes it)

opening titles to LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS that read: "on the twenty-third day of the month of September, in an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence"

Tuberville is amazing in the sense that...where do you even START with this asshole? Every word that comes out of his mouth is deranged and stupid to such a degree that it's impossible to find a place to dismantle his dick behavior and non-stop lies. I expect the GOP to run him as a prez candidate.
