“A god is just something with more power or technology than you who doesn’t notice if it squashes you like an ant. A god who worries about the ants has weaknesses and no god. A god needs no followers, believers, supplicants, pets, or servants. Those are human needs.” #writing

“He raged through the hardware store, destroying all of the tools. It was a chainsaw massacre.” #writing #throwawayline

How many careers have you had in your life? How many have you been success or expert at?

Do kids, nowadays, even know what a Pentium is/was?

It’s all about the Pentiums, baby.

What “junk” book have you read lately and would recommend? Me? I usually turn to The Destroyer series by Warren Murphy or The Bob and Nikki series by Jerry Boyd. I’m just getting into Doc Savage, which is of that ilk. All fun reads. What’s yours? #books

“Politics is apolitical. It’s all about power and greed.” #writing

“You reinforce the junk in your mind by wondering, thinking, and contemplating on it rather than focusing on thinking rational thoughts. You relive your past successes and mistakes, and dream and dread your future rather than focusing on what is happening now.” #writing

“Your mind is full of clutter, misplaced ideas, knowledge, and litters of trash. You need a mind-wipe, but you’ve been wired to accumulate junk.The best you can do is toss out the things you hold on to, whether dear or not and start over. Maybe the percentage of debris will be lower.” #writing

For every hundred good lines I throw out, I find one that I use that is mediocre. #writing #throwawayline

“Follow your muse. Just don’t let it laugh at you. Too many amuse easily.” #writing #throwawayline

“Violence is the obvious way to murder someone, be it a gun, knife, or poison. Better to kill with kindness. That way, they don’t know they’re dead until it’s too late and there is no evidence.” #writing

When was the last time you sang, whistled, or hummed a song that wasn’t on digital? What was it?

I think I’ll play a game this evening. I need to go non-digital for a bit. #game

The battery life on iOS/iPadOS/WatchOS 26 sucks. I get maybe 4 hours of use. Yes, I know they are beta. All the AI UI skinning drains the life out of batteries. I’d revert to 25, but that’s just a stop-gap to the oncoming apocalypse. #apple #failure

“Gods are for those who worship people and power.” #writing

Overheard: “I can take Micin.” My mind automatically goes to: “Maybe you should try Catsin.”

“There is a veil across reality, but it it moth-eaten.” #writing

“Fear and greed, are a potent mix that control the majority of humans. One takes advantage of the other. That leaves little room for everyone else.” #writing

I guess I’m allowed to eat now.

Oh well. I made peach cobbler and accidentally used whole wheat flour and this happened. I’m sure it tastes good #baking

“Life is a window waiting to be reframed.” #writing

“He was a powerful man, but short-sighted and could only see down his nose.” #writing #character

I think I’ll make peach cobbler today. I have a bunch of fresh peaches. #food

Spending a time on a plan is better than fixing the mess you’ll create.
