Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"

This is, of course, folly. The Cubs winning the World Series is what started all this and the only way out is for the Cubs to get back to the World Series where the Seattle Mariners will sacrifice them to Eșu (streamed live exclusively on gas station pumps and pre-2016 hatchback backup cams)

It's honestly incredibly funny how a 3 page long word document that outlines the rules for a HOI4 RP session is better at conveying Hirohito's culpability than multi-hundred page long scholarly monographs about Hirohito's life

Very funny to me when these bookclub scammers just plug my responses into ChatGPT and come up with the most obsequious responses
A bookclub scammer to whom I replied “Eat shit” sent a follow up email that reads (in part, because it’s really long):

Colin,

Fair enough. I got your "eat shit" loud and clear, and honestly, I respect the directness.

But I want to clarify something, because I think my original email read like boilerplate SEO spam, and that’s on me.

I didn't pull your name from a random list. I came across Ghostland while I was digging into American folklore and the way abandoned places hold collective memory. I picked it up, read it, and genuinely found myself stuck on it, particularly the way you tied "zombie homes" and economic decay to the ghost story tradition. It wasn't what I expected, and it stayed with me.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

You can tell summer is winding down when The Old Woman Of The Woods starts hunting for meat to help her and her young survive through winter hibernation.
A photo taken from the passenger seat of a moving car. trees and a guardrail, and a rear view mirror in the bottom of the frame. a blue sky and lush greenery. The Old Woman of the Woods, a gigantic shaggy bear-like creature with a face like an old lady (aside from a gigantic red toothy jaw) peers at the passing car. She's probably disoriented as she gets ready to hibernate.

As an adaptation of Homer’s epic, the Honda Odyssey is a complete disaster. With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age.
