I used to never see these guys around. Whenever I did, it was a rare, one-off annual sighting. Now, I'm glad to see them more often. #naturephotos #prayingmantis

I'm not the biggest zombie fan in the world, but I started watching The Walking Dead: Dead City on Netflix. Can we pause to appreciate the brilliance of Željko Ivanek? I've been a fan since I saw him in the John Adams HBO series. Great character actor who can play a terrifying villain.

When making coffee in a standard pot, I find it best to follow a rule I heard a tea drinker once invoked: One per person and one for the pot. The results? Heavenly. (And yes, I use milk. Your boos mean nothing. I've seen what makes you cheer.)

How are we doing today, Funny People? Hanging in there?

*David Attenborough VO* And here we see a prime specimen of that rare subspecies of human, Homo scriptor, otherwise known as the human writer. This particular specimen is also, at time, referred to as the Hairy Human Potato, though why, no one knows.

I think I'm getting pretty good at this video editing stuff... Granted, editing is easy. Getting the footage is the hard part.

Another poetry read for those who enjoy my dulcet tones Here's "The Trees" by Philip Larkin (easily one of his less somber, cynical poems)

Morning Funny People ☕🙃 This week on Author Fridays: William Carlos Williams Williams' poems, like "The Red Wheelbarrow," and "This is Just to Say," epitomized the Imagist Movement. He believed how a poem appeared was just as important as what it said or how it sounded.

Morning Funny People ☕🙃 Trying out more of this on-camera stuff. You know, AI-simps love to say that being anti-AI slop is "ablest." Bullshit. Nothing can stop a human being from creating, not even severe physical disabilities, as you can see in this reel.

I'll do a top three... My favorite heroic dragon is Firedrake, the silver dragon, from Cornelia Funke's Dragon Rider. Smaug from Tolkien's The Hobbit is the greatest villainous dragon in the canon. And my other favorite heroic dragon is Naomi Novik's Temeraire.
