I love the phrase "bear with me" because it either means "be patient" or "the zoo heist was a success"

The richest person in the country should get executed by law at the end of every week or even every day. That way they'd all be competing to out-charity each other. It's just sensible public policy.

They say Elon is useless, but I’ve been using him to explain “little dick energy” to fellow older folks who don’t know what that means and it’s been working wonderfully.

If you're poor, your time horizon is *short* You don't have the luxury of waiting 4 weeks for someone to pay you money they owe you, you need that money *now* for bills right now. The richer people get, the longer their time horizons become until they are alien to normal humans.

Facebook suspended me because I posted "possible child pornography". The offending image? Me, on my first birthday, with my tongue visible. I think I'm done with the zucking Fuckerberg site.

Sometimes you pour pancake batter onto the skillet and realize immediately “wellp, that’s gonna be an ugly one.” I think art and writing goes the same way. you can try to fix it while it fries, learn and pour a better one next time, or find the person who wants to eat it in all its ugliness

For everyone struggling with people like me curating their experiences here: I walk into a bookstore. All the books have a right to be there. I browse, read the back covers, look at other's reviews of them. I carefully consider and get a few I want. Not ALL. Thank you for understanding "choice."

I like to lose control of language, including consistency, sometimes, as a byproduct of trying to get somewhere different and, also, better characterization. You can also edit back the chaos of that, but still gain something. Language is fluid, people are inconsistent, the world is chaotic.

Merry Christmas. And remember that Jesus was born in a mcmansion to a rich white family. He rose to power by performing magic tricks and making speeches about how to extract wealth by exploiting the poor. "Come, follow me, only I can make this land Holy again!"

Left-leaning BlueSky is the 21st-century equivalent of 18th-century pamphleteers. Oh how I yearn for Thomas Paine! Or even a hungry Jonathan Swift.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.
