I think I may have read this. Is this the one there they mistake a toilet seat for a ceremonial headdress?

Me, too! I cleaned the floor around the toilet and, well, let's just say it really needed it.

I've had a lot of case where things I wrote about boomeranged back at me (including one that FREAKED ME THE FUCK OUT) which it why I'm writing about a rich, happily married couple right now.

I have a spare copy of The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee for loaning out to people. (Just did quite recently.) I really need to get a copy of Biting the Sun (the Four BEE duology in one volume) because there's no way I'm loaning out my signed copies of the individual books!

I swear by loose powder because I often cut recipes in half or even quarters so I can serve just one, and it's a lot easer to level a quarter teaspoon than to slice a cube in fourths.

Sliced bread first went on sale 96 years ago today and — here’s the fun bit — was promoted as being the greatest thing since WRAPPED bread.

I put "good people!" in the books I'm working on as a substitute for "ladies and gentlemen." Maybe that might work?

To make it even more confusing, "affect" is also a noun used in psychiatry to describe someone's demeanor.

Went to a docent tour of the High Museum and saw some neat stuff then gave Dutch Art in a Global Age a go because I kept abbreviating my trips and skimming past the last room or so both times. Wonderful work! Loved the one about the pickpocket and the satin skirts, Glad I gave it another chance.

The thunder is rumbling, the sky is darkening, and I cry out to the heavens "Rain down! Rain down! For I am lazy and my tomatoes need watering. Rain down!" And, lo, the rain came down. (Just as soon as I finished typing the above. Seriously.)

It was perceived as scary because it induced motion sickness, which some people mistook for fear. There are whole psychological experiments on how people's emotional reactions are shaped by how they feel they SHOULD be reacting.

Paywall, sorry, but...OMG THE STUPID! AI is NOT THAT SMART. "Uploading" your brain to a machine (a technology we're NOWHERE near having) just means, at best, you'll have a machine that remembers the same things you do. Your consciousness will still live in your head.

It's also important not to enable fucking creeps, no matter how famous or powerful they are. The world is, alas, rife with enabled creeps. (Look up "missing stair" on your favorite search engine.)

Yeah, I don't have ADHD (I was checked thoroughly for it and the answer was no) and the history of socks on Wikipedia sounds like excellent procrastination bait. It doesn't require any effort beyond a little clicking, and striving for goals takes much more out of you.

You know there WAS a sequel to The Blair Witch Project, right? It's about a group of people going on a Blair Witch tour as if the first movie was real, and then spoooooky things start happening. It was dreadful. It made the first film look good, that's how bad it was.

I hadn't realized that myth was circulating. I do remember suspecting that a lot of the audience was composed of aspiring filmmakers who were hoping to place a vote of confidence in videotape as a legitimate medium for mainstream release.

I was forced to watch The Goonies at a slumber party (it was back when you could only rent videos for one night at a time, and they were going to recover their sunk costs) and I've despised it ever since not just for its badness, but for all the time lost that could have been spent on cooler stuff.

Some of the shocked reactions to his posts remind me of Literally Unbelievable, the Tumblr site devoted to people's serious (and generally disapproving) responses to headlines from The Onion.

I saw an article about research that indicated if you feed an AI AI-generated content, it gets worse and worse and worse. Now that there's so much AI content on the internet, any LLM that feeds on it is going to poison itself.

I try to avoid looking at DT as much as possible. I scroll past pictures, whatever it takes. I can't bear to look at his fat, stupid face. I especially can't stand his voice. Why would I want to watch him in motion and listen to him blather?
