Having to get up to pee in the middle. That, and the people.
People who don't go to movie theaters anymore - what made you stop?

Apropos of vids I'm watching, I have to say that "Badfinger" is a terrible name for a self-respecting band. I mean, a "badfinger" is what you extract from your pants after scratching your ass. Right?

And Nilsson's version of "Without You" is truly better than Badfinger's original. He conveys the anguish. Man, even before I got my first radio, I heard that song everywhere and, even as a kid, was moved by it.

Writing for a market or a specific open call has prompted me to write some good stories over the years, but I've never really liked the constraint. My next stories are just going to be for their own sakes. I'm writing for my next volume of Stellar Stories.

That said, if a finished story seems appropriate for some open call, sure I'll submit it.

do you think muslim immigrants wake up thinking “i’m gonna stаb a chick in the neck today” or is it more of a random whim of theirs, like passing by an ice cream truck “sure why not”

He seems like a nice guy. Can't imagine why he is in a bad way. Seems to me he just needed to lick a few more pennies from Elon's boots, as the rest of us apparently have done. Just lazy, I guess.
I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

I just heard a very funny joke: There's plenty of Linux viruses out there. They just don't know how to install themselves.

This is how I feel about blurbs and summaries for my works. It's a conundrum: The reader wants a sense beforehand of what I'm offering, but I think, "You'll know when you read the work." If I could write blurbs, that's what I'd write. 😉

Gentle reminder that having your civilization ruled by women and foreigners is literally a biblical curse
You’re f*cking kidding me… “I wish people didn’t see that video” The Minister of Northern Ireland blames Tommy Robinson and Elon for what happened in Belfast last night…

Resistance to Social Security reform from Boomers is understandable. People forget how much their financial life has been shaped by the expectation of that monthly handout. To say a Boomer is merely greedy and indifferent to you is unjust. It's the system they were born into. The only way anything gets fixed is to grandfather them into something that doesn't suddenly impoverish them. But instead histrionic politicians block any reform and people on Twitter indulge their hate-boners for Boomers.

I'm seeing an awful lot of these overlong posts that slide from point to point with all manner of short sentences, and while accusing a poster of posting AI slop is like accusing a man of being light in the loafers, sometimes the aidar, like the gaydar, is not to be ignored. There's a distasteful flavor to these posts -- a dearth of personality -- and I am learning to terminate my engagement very quickly.

It so cute how obtuse some people are. Yeah, Greg, the Dems have recognized their hypocrisy and will never again call you a Nazi or MeToo a Republican. Logic always wins!
💥NEW: Greg Gutfeld: “Platner is a hero … He’s slayed 2 big movements: The ‘You’re a Nazi’ movement — by being a Nazi and being accepted by the Left, you can’t call anybody a Nazi anymore! What about the ‘Me Too’ movement? By not believing all women, that goes out the window!”

Wait. Is he saying @WoodFenton had men killed to complete his research?
I've been reading Dwellers in the Deep by @WoodFenton, where he gives an exhaustive look into deep sea diving, and I am always amazed by stuff like this because imagine how many men had to die/be crippled to figure out these exacting processes. Also, it's a good book.
