Sending hugs. That's all I got. I'm sorry.

This week has been so incredibly draining. It was so good to get home and just play guitar for an hour without any interruptions or fires to put out.

I wish I had the time and energy to give you all what you need. Right now I have to take care of myself by singing Neko Case a la metal.

Side hustle? My sibling in skydaddy, I don't even do a front hustle.

Two words: Mana. Potion. It's like they don't even know how the game works.

Also, my daughter is gardening a Venus fly trap, which is good you know you've patented correctly.

At some point you realize you are a line-art kinda guy, and for the rest of your life ppl will ask you if you're going to get that tattoo finished ever.

I still really want 1 trash polka piece, though.

200+ CUSD seniors were honored tonight for earning the State Seal of Civic Engagement.

I scrapped most of my speech because you couldn't hear it over the thunder. Big props to the senior who pointed out that I was holding the microphone too far from my mouth. That's the kind of leadership we need.

What does it mean when the drummer is drooling out both sides of his mouth?
The stage is level.

In this house we do not brush our teeth: we polish our face-rocks.

AMAZING.

The Venn Diagram of "people who were praised for reading books as a child" and "people who cringe when the phone rings" is a circle.

Grumpy ogre talk. "John Hungry. John need lunch. Lunch in Greenwich! Greenwich mean time for lunch!"

Party idea: drunk badminton with giant foam fingers instead of rackets. We call it BadMitten.

Every time you bend down to pick up a coin off the ground, they're is another you in the multiversity who, in bending over, avoids and assassin's bullet.

What did alternate you do to piss someone off so badly?

For me, I'm sure in being shot at by some "parents rights" / prayer in schools advocate

I know a secret about the kid who wrote this: he plays a half-orc in D&D who is obsessed with smashing rocks.

My feed is so dysfunctional right now.

"They arrested a judge!"
Vs
"NFL draft picks!"

If you have time and energy to care about the NFL right now, that's privilege. And it's kinda gross.

Caring about the NFL has never felt more tone-deaf.

Everything is terrible and America is an openly fascist nation eating itself.

But the real tragedy is: I'm finally reading the Mistborn books, and they're awful.

I'm halfway through book 2. Does Sanderson learn to write at some point?

Or do we like it BECAUSE of the 5th grade reading level?
