I never understood why someone’s murder or legal scandal ends up in the Entertainment section just because someone involved is in media. A 14 year old girl’s murder in LA is stuck next to Real Housewife and Kardashian drama just because her suspected killer is a musician.
I heard it so you have to. “You know how you lay in bed, sweating and breathless after sex, praising the cosmic experience. It’s like that when you’re older. Except one a month, when you take a ten minute shit.”
Some weeks, you just have to stop and admire the breathtaking crater your impact created.
Greetings, humans.
Facebook's "People You May Know" is just a list of the people in your life who are friends of your friends and want nothing to do with you.
"The Democrats were the slave owners."
"Yes."
"They started the Klan."
"Sure. And then explain what happened."
"Nothing."
"Oh. Then, because you are well versed in racist Democrats, explain to me Strom Thurmond or George Wallace."
"Who?"
"Instant fail. Goodbye."
HEY! ALL TENS OF YOU READING THIS! DID YOU KNOW I ALSO WRITE BOOKS?! It's true. And the 12-book Jack Paxton adventure "A Deadly Con" is now available for preorder.

I wore them after my cancer surgery so there's no shame in wearing it, but if I ever meet an old guy standing in his study wearing just tighty-blue pants, shooting me a look like I should get comfortable - that's the last thing Imma gonna do, jack.
To the geniuses who developed an ad for adult incontinence briefs who trotted out an old man in a tight pair of shorts to tell me "Now that we're comfortable with it..."
No. We are not comfortable. We are nowhere near the airspace of the friendly nation of Comfortable.
When you're old, there are days you can relate to being a mob boss in that there is comfort in knowing most of the witnesses to your bad deeds and crimes are dead.
Of COURSE the VP is going to defend his boss over his own religious affiliation. That's his job. He made up the "joke" despite it contradicting Trump's own bullshit excuse.
Of course, Trump's BS excuse could have been another "joke" which indicates he has no interest in explaining himself to us.
He didn't think it was a doctor. No, he's not senile. He's just lying because he can. He says it, and enough people believe him. The rest have no power to call him out. He knew this would piss people off, and then lying about it would piss people off more. Impotent anger just validates his control.
A new, neo-noir series adapted from the original audioplay.
Watching an ad for an online casino app, a friend recognized the voice of the spokesman and said, "Wow. An addict is pitching us a product that leads to crushing addiction. It's like when Orson Welles was pitching us French wine."
It has been more than half a century since humanity reached the moon.
On the other hand, it has been 1,985 years since Caligula ruled as Emperor.
So.
We gotta be careful about revisiting old accomplishments.
Hey @netflix.com. How about a prestige film starring Bradley Whitford and John Slattery as estranged father and son on a PT&A adventure? Or maybe on the run from the mob? Pay Sorkin or Weiner to write it. I'd pay up a year to watch those two snipe and snark through a series of wacky misadventures.
Lots of YouTube videos out there with titles like "What if a black hole replaced our sun?" or "What if a push pin hit the Earth at the speed of light?"
I don't need a ten minute blasphemy of A.I. slopped audio and video to tell me "WE ALL GON DIE!!!"
If you post to social media and no one engages, does that post even exist? Am I a Russian bot and not even aware of it?
My fortune cookie is sending me mixed signals.
You know, I've decided to enjoy #StarTrek by myself. It seems people can get very upset when hard consonants and prickly active voice pull at the fabric of a reality intricately woven from the gossamer threads of their precious daydreams.
With the world so bright and bountiful, I thank the gods we have the Blake Livey trial in the news to remind us how dark and devastating life could be for us all.
During a military action, you cannot expect any leader to be honest about plans or next steps. It is one of the few times someone like Trump is expected to lie in public when asked. Since he lies so often, he HAS to contradict himself because it would just be easy to invert his statements.
What is the universe saying when Amazon suggests customers buy a big bag of cat litter to go along with your crime noir novel?
Selling involves presenting the problem your product solves. Repeat that the media is biased for years and sell investment in conservative “balance” - eventually the bias is real. Who owns the news now?

What is your "tell" that something was written by A.I.?
Mine is the phrase "[Something] isn't just [X]; it's a [much greater form of that something]."
Example: "This isn't just a casual reference; it is a significant statement about the annexation of the Sudetenland."
He couldn't get them to put his face on the money, so he settled for his signature. Just like every good emperor before him.
When is a politician most dangerous? When they have nothing else to lose. This applies to Trump as much as Fetterman. The latter knows his chances for re-election in the next primary are dead. But he has so many votes left to cast and no more fucks to give.
If you're going to tell me that you'd sit back and applaud most of the things Trump has done if they were done by Biden or Harris, you're a damned liar.
