"Awake and not crying" is going to be my stock answer to how I'm doing for the foreseeable future.

"Lackluster. Like a mid-80s low-end Chevy #Caprice. Middling power. Anodyne design. Guaranteed to not offend or elate. It just lays there like a bored hooker, staring at the ceiling with chemical eyes. But, enough about your suit. Let's talk about those shoes." #vss365

The hypocrisy is the point. You can call them out on all you want and they'll just laugh because to them it's a display of power. "We can do and say whatever we want and there's nothing you can do to stop it."

If they ever release the Epstein files it'll just be one page with "Democrats did it all" scrawled in Sharpie.

The chem in chemtrails? Tylenol.

"Didn't see this one coming." "I thought you said you planned for every #eventuality." "How could I have foreseen alien zombies from the 8th Dimension attacking a comics convention?" "So, any other eventualities you didn't bother to plan for?" #vss365

You can only plan for #eventualities for so long before you just gotta get out there and do stuff. Even if it means you'll wind up standing on a ledge in your underwear and screaming epithets at your genitals. #vss365

For a second I thought I was being raptured, but it turned out it was just really spicy green chile.

"What's that place?" "#Bellwether Castle." "Think it could be a plot point?" "Probably." "Lazy writing, man. Lazy writing." #vss365

Not all #bellwether events portend good stuff. Sometimes they mean you're going to have a bunch of rich, dumb jackasses in charge of your life. #vss365

Once again I didn't qualify for the Rapture.

The best you can say about some people is they've managed to #reinvigorate the twin flames of racism and fascism. Just goes to show it's easy to make people hate. #vss365

Grab yourself a can of #reinvigoration and enjoy better living through chemistry. #vss365

Four strangers awake to find themselves locked in a tube and the only way out is increasingly narrow tubes. Claustrophobia has a new name... #Extrusion. Only in theaters. #vss365

As long as the means of communication are held tightly in private hands, there will be no Freedom of Speech.

"You ever sit down, take #stock of your life, and think, 'Man, I'm pretty fucking awesome'? If not, you should." #vss365

"This place is like a #stock market but for souls. Buy, sell, trade, whatever. All these rich bastards are busy trying to get the exact thing they need to get out the deals they made with various devils." #vss365

Free speech should never be out of stock. #vss365 #stock

"#Synthesis," she said. "A red dress alone is nice. Heels add to the look. But it's what's underneath that'll really make your motor hum." #vss365

Good #synthesis isn't just putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5, it's being able to prove why 5 was the answer all along. #vss365

I find it extremely disturbing that the Mambo Kings soundtrack does not include Mambo Number 5.

You just know there's a group out there right now, working in the shadows, #consipiring to bring back parachute pants in the unholy name of fashion. #vss365

It gets exhausting watching everyone #conspire against everyone else. I miss the old days of a fist fight and the winner bought rounds for the loser. It was more civilized and honest than a dagger in the back. #vss365

I wonder if I could find an agent if I had a picture of myself looking overly serious. Like, "See, I'm a serious author. Seriously."

"Look, it's like that time we watched the horse racing documentary and you learned that #reins were for more than just sex." "Point being?" "Point being, think outside the box. What else could a melon-baller be used for?" #vss365

It seems to me that instead of using the #reins to keep things in check, they're using the reigns to run wild without any checks whatsoever. #vss365

Unfortunately, until you sit down and start #writing, you only have a #potential great novel. And don't use freakin' AI. #vss365

If you want to really unleash your #potential follow my two step plan for greatness: 1: Nutter Butter cookies 2: Moonshine #vss365

In the future, historians will look back and say we #exhausted our humanity. I say we simply became our true human selves: Unpredictable, often violent animals who will fight like hell when our backs are to the wall and knives are shining in front of us. #vss365

The game is to keep you reacting to every new threat, every new lie, constantly dodging bullshit and seething outrage until you're too #exhausted to fight back. Fuck that. Keep at it. Don't let the bastards drag you down. #vss365

I'm not saying he had it coming, but Charlie Kirk's entire livelihood revolved around pissing people off. He was provocateur, a rabble-rouser, and a professional bullshit artist.

I don't have a flag, but even if I did, I wouldn't be lowering it to half mast.

"The sins of the world are #bearable. I carry them every day, just like you." #vss365

Life shouldn't be just #bearable. It shouldn't take a daily fight to keep going. It shouldn't be wondering if it should be rent or food or what your asshole boss is going to do purely out of spite today. I'm not saying it should be carefree and magical, just not a slog. #vss365

Note: The Newsome boats are still on the water, not under the water.

Learn the signs and save someone's mindbrain. Strokes suck ass. At least mine was mild and my wife caught on quickly. #stroke #strokewareness #befast

One of my buddies once described C# abstract classes as a thin #wrapper with a thick, gold chain. No one in the class got the joke. #vss365

The reality you perceive is just a thin #wrapper covered with cheap plastic trinkets painted with flaky gold spray paint. Pull all that crap down and there's magic underneath it. #vss365

OJ Simpson was infiltrating a murder gang on behalf of the FBI. Study it out!

Petty people voted for a petty man to do petty things to people they don't like for petty reasons and now they're surprised he's turned out to be a petty dictator.
