Just remember that talking about shooting works with both of those.

I just got my two new fountain pens yesterday, so I’m at the start of my latest. I’m destined to become the greatest sketcher in the next three days. This time this one will stick. I just know it.

1. There’s a lot for people to read out there, people keep writing. There’s a lot for people to listen to out there, people keep making music. There’s a lot for people to see out there, people keep making music, television, and art. Somehow artists keep getting read, listened to, and seen.

2. A lot of people are saying just write. Narrow that down ‘cause that can be overwhelming in its own right. First stop trying to write whatever you’re trying to write and write something totally different. Trying to write the next great science fiction novel? Write an essay about a factual historical subject. Trying to write a definitive work of scientific theory? Write a few haikus about romance. Trying to write your manifesto to show the world the truth? Okay, maybe stick with the writer’s block there.

Basically the writer’s block will or already has turned into a spiraling rut that’s going to get worse until you break it. You don’t get out of the path by following the path. Turn around and go the other way for a bit until you find some level ground.

And now that I’ve written this comment, I’ve broken my own writer’s block and can get back to writing hardcore erotic poetry in iambic pentameter. Pardon me while I try to make facial rhyme with glacial.

I thought it was already 9. Didn’t he stop the war between Antarctica and Canada or something?

No, they’re actually silver. The fact that they didn’t have the finest 1k gold coating was the only thing about all this that surprised me.

To pass butter.

Depends: side by side, or tip-to-tip?

It looks like if someone pulls that cord on the left, he’s gonna be flung three miles away

If I’m getting into a new hobby or something and am suspicious about the listings I’m seeing on Amazon or Etsy or wherever, I check Temu. If the same thing I’m seeing on one of those sites is on Temu, it confirms that it’s just cheap Chinese stuff with an high markup and I move on to a different seller/maker of the product.

I like to hit Amazon before I look anywhere else since there will be a lot of the knockoff products and I can get in my head what they look like before looking elsewhere for the real deal. If I go to a different site and they have one of the Amazon/Temu products I’ve seen, I leave that site and find another.

Grandpa?

Keep AirPods in your ears. People will just think you’re on a phone call.

Orange dementia patients want it and if he read what you wrote, he’d want it even more.

I’m not nearly young enough to fuck that guy

I brought him a Camel, but apparently they were a Marlboro family.

If the avatar is real, she’ll be relatively safe unless she marries one.

I prefer The Guardian’s sedate, kind headline about the meeting: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/18/donald-trump-mohammed-bin-salman

All you really need is some boy skeletons, some girl skeletons, a lot of alcohol and some sexy music

That’s because conservative and liberal are meaningless tags in a plutocracy.

I mean, Poseidon wouldn’t have had his job if his daddy wasn’t a titan.

Rich people keep poor people poor. Poor people keep rich people rich.
