A villain era is not about harming others. It is about no longer harming yourself for their comfort. Stop lighting yourself on fire to keep others warm. #villainera

started a doc on HULU. Randomly, Spanish subtitles popped up. Why does HULU all of a sudden think I even know half these words? Learning a lot tho. “Uh-uh” in English (as in, “no”) is “Ah-ah” in Spanish.

Happy Monday, ALL! Hope your weekend was filled with as much dancing and gathering and joy as Philly was this weekend, with Pride kickoff and the Roots picnic. It was LIT around here. Now back to work! (And there was much rejoicing.) Have a fun one!

Happy Monday, All! This day is a day of observance in the US for soldiers who died in battle. It was started for Union military, which I wonder if those in the MAGA South know this. Hope you have an observant week!

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

Happy Monday, ALL! Went to #FanExpoPhilly w/ my cosplaying kid & friend. The amateur costuming community is amazing. I’m so inspired, I’m considering starting a dedicated account for cosplaying. It is such a great distraction & joy. Here’s to a little fun & whimsy in your week. Have a great one!

Gotta say, I love the #Blackcommunity /culture. This is a generalization, I know, but the joy I see in their fandom is unmatched. My kid & his friend went to Fan Expo dressed as characters from a horror game called Mouthwashing. The best reactions came from the Black attendees. Such love & delight.

Here’s something I never thought I would do: contact the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Forestry Dept. I have a black walnut tree in my back yard that I don’t want anymore. I want to sell it, but I’m not sure that’s possible. Apparently there are foresters who can tell you these things.

BREAKING: SOS Marco Rubio, said that the government can expel legal residents from the country based on 'past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful.'" Once again: the SOS said that he can expel legal residents from the country for "expected beliefs!”

Happy Monday, ALL! Conclave is a stupid movie, the ending laughable. But: too bad the studio didn’t wait a few months for release because it’d be a big hit right now with a dead il popa. Too bad, tho, he seemed like a good guy. Now they’ll choose a real fascist. Have a democracy-loving week!

I saw a witchy meme that said we have to tell the bees to take down The Royal Muskrat. I’ve been whispering it to each one I see, and I told it to a whole hive yesterday. So. Watch this space. The bees will take care of us.

I have a working theory that monetary wealth affects the frontal lobe of the brain. In other words, I theorize that extreme wealth causes brain damage. Just like poverty has been shown to affect brain development, it follows that extreme wealth would also change brain structure.

My kid says he and the rest of the console gaming world are losing their minds over Nintendo’s announcement of the Switch 2, & corresponding BOMBSHELL announcements of corresponding games like Elden Ring, Silksong, DeltaRune 3 &4, and more. Some of these games on Switch were urban myth until today.

To be honest, I’m sure the LLMs wrote better than most participants. No shade, I’m just saying. I did NanoWriMo a few times and it just encourages shitty SHITTY first drafts IMO. Which is ok. Serves a purpose. I know a lot of people will be sad it is going away, AI or not.

Friends and I just spend a long weekend out near Lancaster County. The buggies are everywhere and are often isolated. It’d be super easy to knock them over. And because Amish don’t use Venmo or credit cards or even checks sometimes, they carry a LOT of cash. It’s the only way they do business.

“Where am I to go now that I’ve gone too far?” - Twilight Zone by Golden Earring (1982). As a writer, I think that’s one of the best lines in music. Like Kendrick Lamar’s famous Not Like Us line: “Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A Minor.” (2024) Do you have any favorites?

In the book Jaws by Peter Benchley, the seaside resort town of Amity sees a shift in the quality of the tourists that come after the shark attacks. “Death tourists” and shady conspiracy types swarm, and set up camp in broken-down RVs. This is who will buy Fyre 2 tickets.
