On a whim, decided to try Marmite. Did it up properly, small amount on buttered toast. I can see why people like it.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Regardless of their level of involvement, one thing that’s clear is there’s not one person named in the Epstein files who believed those girls were people.

In the process of cleaning/re-orging the prepper closet, I found a number of things thought lost, and where I stashed my attache case full of cash*! Cleaning can be very useful, y'all! *movie cash, but it looks really good.

Missed all the Gen X discourse yesterday, but those of us who are actually in the generation have explained this ad nauseam. We had the ultimate worst bullies and mean kids in our generation growing up, and they were never, EVER checked because adults didn't GAF. Also, Black Gen X is Democratic.

Man, the news is bleak. Reminder, you don't have to absorb it all. Every single detail and every single headline is bad for you. Step away when you get that feeling, you know the one, and come back when you're ready.

I am *not* a functional member of society today.

Why the fuck can't I sleep when the alarm is set before 8am?

This country went to hell after Cal Worthington died.

You gotta watch the bear decide that a whole marshmallow is too much at once, and balanced it on their foot to nibble! 😍

"Dark" does not mean "grown up". Y'know what does? Hope.

I need a mini-bolter crawlbot. Bolt. Bolt. Bolt.

Today's deli wisdom: "It is better to be seen than viewed."

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

Who knew all of these Batman fetishists with their tacticool gear and guns would be such wimps, incredibly easy to trigger? Oh, wait. Everyone else.

I am really tired of 'dark' being a thing. Grimdark, Dark Academia, Whimdark, the list goes on. We live in a bleak world. It's time to walk back into the light. Make BRIGHT things, not DARK things.

Good morning

The lesson from yesterday's stint of Jury Duty: Always get things in writing. Always. This includes documenting any problems. Scan all documents. Make a call? Write down who/when/what. Texts? Take screenshots. Email remains the best means of documenting communications.

When GW released the Beakies in plastic folk were painting them up in the colours of all the pre-HH legions. I'd forgotten that I had a go too. Here, from the depths of an overlooked box in my attic, was my attempt at the loyalist legions. #Nerdlings #warhammer40k #beakiespacemarines

Reminder for all UK dual nationals: As of the 25 Feb 2026, dual nationals will not be able to travel to the UK on their 'other' passport. If, for example, you or your dual citizen children live abroad & currently don't hold a UK passport, you need to get one (for them) in order to re-enter the UK.

I ran out of spoons and my dishwasher is broken.

Kari contributes so much to this place and makes the skyline better, so if you've appreciated their threads or cat pics, or just want to do a good dead, please kick in a little to at least keep them in kitty food during an expensive homeowner crisis.

Castle block magnet sets are done! You can get some if you want! My 4 year old nephew has approved them. You can paint them if you want! Business business business…is this working??

Why am I suddenly cold? Who the fuck just walked over my grave? I don't plan on HAVING a grave. Who buried me against my wishes!?

My everything hurts.

Back when I was an active GM, it was my friend group or maybe some convention activity. All situations where I could hand out information in person, and the "information density" was much, much lower. There was a shared knowledge base of "this is how things work." This is not true, anymore.

Deleting Signal now that I know it’s been compromised. Find me on Windows Mobile Excel.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA:

Every time I watch the Fall Guy (2024) remake, I catch something new. This time, it was the Six Million Dollar Man "bionic" sound effect. I love this movie so much.

quick lesson for the well intentioned in the class: if you are not Native American/First Nations, then you do not have a ‘native American’ name. especially not Chief Ironic Conversation Topic. You dont get to genocide ppl and their ways of life for centuries and then make them the punchline

Huh. All images I try and post show up as just blank black pictures.

I spent hours clearing over a foot and a half of snow. It looks like I did diddly-squat. *sigh*

Gold, Silver, and Platinum have ALL spiked today. In fact, they're spiking right now and climbing. SOMEthing is going on that the hyper-wealthy are aware of.

Your regular reminder that, when the shit hits the fan and the billionaires try to retreat to their bunkers... ...their "loyal" bodyguards are planning on killing them and taking their stuff.

Cleanin' Ye Olde Prepper Closet, amazing what I've squirreled away in here. Why did I buy a slide rule? Is the 10 gallons of water (not a lot, honest, maybe a week's worth for one person) still good? Where's my machete? You know, the usual and perfectly sane questions one asks one's self.

Listening to the Fire Department frequency, I have learned a LOT of engines are rolled based on false alarms, such as people reporting cooking fires and/or smoke alarms going off. Folks, CHECK before calling 911!

Amazing the difference in response between black people being killed by authorities and white people being killed by authorities.

ALL PEOPLE CLOSED TODAY Boy shit howdy, you got THAT right.

I'd really like to thank Past Brian for buying heated gloves and a heated vest. You're the BEST, Past Brian. *hi-5s through time*
