Just got out of Barbie as Odysseus in the Odyssey. Makes more sense that the journey took 10 years if the boat was made of plastic! Funny how the Dreamhouse can become an Ancient Greek palace with just a bit of set dressing. Inspiring performances from Skipper (as Telemachus) and Ken (as Penelope).

trying not to look at the polls *too* much, but even though the manhattan DA candidate i’ve worked for the past few months, diana florence, has not gotten anywhere close to winning, we ran a kickass campaign on a shoestring budget, and our votes outpace other independent races in the city!!!

between may and today, i’ve been excited about mamdani. starting january 1st, i will find new, surprising reasons to hate him like i do with all other mayors regardless of politics. this feels like the 5 days between christmas and new years’ on steroids.

"The Bread Scale of Triviality," alt-texted:
The Bread Scale of Triviality, by @madepn.bsky.social - a horizontal line akin to the number line, but with various breads assigned positions on the line based on their presumed triviality, the most trivial on the left and the least trivial on the right. From left to right:

Nothingburger
Burnt toast
Wonder Bread
Matzoh
Crepe
Tortilla
Paratha
English Muffin
Injera
Naan
Cornbread
Challah
Xiaolongbao
Babka
Everything Bagel

post-DNC thoughts (then going into hibernation): performance-wise, strong speeches, lots of fun. politics-wise, harris’ campaign has shown that it’s looking to connect more with “moderate” republicans than with anyone to the left of a moderate democrat. (1/2)

STOP TELLING STORIES

PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN ROLES YEARS OF NOVELS yet no REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for narratives

Wanted to tell one anyway for a laugh? It was called "MAKING SHIT UP"

"Yes please create a VILLAIN because there aren't enough bad guys in the world. Please assign me a ROMANTIC INTEREST" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Novelists have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the word processors & computer we built for them

(These are REAL Stories, done by REAL Writers):

THE BIG SLEEP

SHERLOCK HOLMES

MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE

"Hello I would like a fake guy to solve a fake crime I invented" They have played us for absolute fools
