Remember when the weekend consisted of Boogie Nights? Now it’s I Stole Your Truck and Shot Your Dog.

The problem with Trump is that he’s a Joker.

Overheard: “I went to visit my friends in Florida, and they were like you people. It was Alexa-this and Alexa-that.” So wrong in so many ways… #writing #character

Anyone setting out to be intentionally obnoxious tomorrow? Or are you normally that obnoxious?

“People tell you to enjoy the ride, but rarely tell you that the ride ends in a vat of acid and fire.” #writing

Just because you can answer a question correctly doesn’t mean you understand either the question or the answer. That’s the failure inherent in AI. Oh, and many humans. #life #ai

“Life is hard. But these crackers aren’t.” #writing #throwawayline

Remember when cats knew how to play the piano?

“His name was Sledge. Not because he was like a hammer, or wielded one. He came by his name honestly by sliding through life.” #writing

“Documenting your personal failures may be difficult. But failing to do so is a failure in itself. Unless you’re paranoid, and think that someone will read documentation.” #life #documentation #writing

“If you wipe your nose with a sleeve, does that mean you wipe your butt with your socks?” #writing #throwawayline

Wow. The C3 author list is the biggest its every been (not bin). I guess I’ll have to meet strangers… creaturescrimesandcreativity.com/2024-atte… #mdc3con #writing #reading #author

What side-project are you currently working on? #sideproject

This needs some cleanup, but seems to be working. I’m pulling info from Goodreads, and posting to my website. I still need to link it to Micro.blog’s bookshelves. What I’m Reading: auteureist.com/iframe/ #books #reading #programming

I’m looking forward to the weekend, rain and all.

Books and blogs instill a feeling that your writing should be perfect, focusing on structure, editing, etc. Very few teach you how to tell a good story, which is more than structure, editing, etc. Very few teach you how to entertain. #books #writing #editing

The Gathering: The kittens are growing too attached to me. Mote follows me around outside and climbs the screen door when it sees me. Fudge, the mom, is growing affectionate as well. #feral #cat

“Wishing never changed anything, except maybe made you feel better.” #life #writing

So, have you had a good day today? I hope so.

My a/c went out today and the service company never showed up claiming they called me 3 times. Nope. They verified the number, so the CS is lying or the techs lied to the CS. #murphy #support #failure

It’s time to relax. It’s been one of those days again.

Happy Hazy IPA Day

Just because you’re successful, it doesn’t mean you’re a good person. And just because you’re a good person, it doesn’t make you successful. Doubly so for celebrities and politicians. #life

Lots of “us vs. them” and “our money vs their money” political ads in the US. Blatantly manipulative and divisive with lots of misleading stock footage and exaggeration. #uspol
