Oh your gym's bad because it's full of dicks? Mine is one level worse.

When I see a Swasticar with an "I bought it before we knew he was crazy" sticker I want to add a "but I kept it once I found he was a nazi" sticker. Buy them on my Etsy shop.

He's talking about Luigi, right?

Wait? Plagiarism with AI? Never. I don't believe it...

Someone called the Democrat party the Vichy government and honestly it's the best description I've heard in a long while.

I knew I'd seen Melania's outfit before.

As we move into a kleptocracy, I've been wondering how I can get my slice of the pie. Become a slumlord? Start a pump and dump crypto? Nope. New business venture starts tomorrow. Designer. Bespoke Guillotines by Gainford.

Everyone's planning a 5 day blackout? Luckily, I stocked up on bourbon at Costco so I can black out for that long.

Decided on my next career. I'm going to become an influencer on TikTok. I've a good feeling about this. Today's the day.

Red sky at night.... something, something... worlds on fire delight, but it's ok, it's cyclical, and climate change isn't real.

If Duolingo has taught me anything, and it hasn't, it's that America is feminine in Spanish and Mexico is masculine. So this name change from Donald is really a huge affirmation of trans rights. #Gulf

Didn't you whine about property taxes that fund the fire department? Happy to go piss on your house for a hundred bucks.

When I am drafted to expand his imperial majesty's empire, I hope it's Panama. I can see myself in a Panama hat with a cigar. Preferably on a beach with a rum drink. Not freezing my bollix off in Greenland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

"...innovative storytelling and insightful exploration of truth and fiction..." yes please. literarytitan.com/2025/01/03/l...

I thought about a reading challenge for 2025 but started the Stormlight Archive and that thing is huuuggee. So my challenge is 1 series.

Literary Titan's full review of After the Fall here. "...a gripping post-apocalyptic narrative" "...execution of After The Fall is nothing short of impressive. Gainford’s ability to breathe new life into a genre often saturated with repetition is commendable." literarytitan.com/2024/12/29/a...

Hipster nerd achievement badge unlocked.

I'm listed in the New adult fiction for the Carrickmacross library.

Hey New York

I've seen this movie. Find the Rock or the Rock's kid and stuck with them.

NASA is a worse airline than Ryanair when it comes to delayed flights.

Dear Chinese Hackers, can you do me a solid and block all those spam calls and texts? Because US telecom won't.

I'm trying micro fiction. Yes, I talk too much anyway and this would be a good exercise - www.mattkendrick.co.uk/welkin-prize...

Kids today have terrible taste in music. We had bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam. They have songs like Baby Shark and Five Little Monkeys.

There will be no Elf on the Shelf in our house today. We're not letting a narc in. ACAB

We learn so much from children. Like how to preemptively wake up at 1am and not get back to sleep because for the last 3 nights, she's demanded a bottle at that time. And is now sleeping though the night again.

Can't believe I left 3 followers on Twitter for this. Where's the crazy?

I made Joel Robuchon's “purée de pomme”. Which didn't have any apples. But did have a ridiculous amount of butter. I think I've used up my butter allowance for the decade.

Social media needs a "Report for being fucking stupid" button. Instead of reporting an account for hateful content, for fake content to try to scam you or whatever, sometimes we just need to report them for being so fucking dumb that we want to save others from seeing that.

Herself went to Canada for the weekend and left me at home with the baby. Turns out an 11 month old is no good at restraining me in a bookstore.

There. Fixed it. It was bugging the hell out of me.

I just watched my old ass and have to say what a great film. Also made me want to move to a lake in Ontario and do mushrooms but I've heard about the winters there.

I hit my 100 day streak on duolingo and still can't speak any more Italian than ordering a coffee and a croissant. Which I used to be able to do by pointing and saying "coffee and croissant please." But loudly and slowly because louder and slower is like a babelfish.

Spolier: It was on doordashing avocado toast.

Schrödinger’s invention. At the same time one of the most ridiculous things ever while being the greatest piece of genius in history. A stand to hold a kindle with a remote for turning the page. Stupid idea. But then there's lying in bed without dropping the kindle on your face for the tenth time.

Just over half way through Nanowrimo and only at 15k words. A little behind. I did discover a lot about this story though and with a few year's work can be an actual novel. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo

Why were they caught off guard? Does he not have an allegation? Can he not just go out and grope someone quickly to meet the pre-reqs?

So far. The worst pick so far.

I knew the price of avocado toast couldn't stay low forever. This is a conspiracy by big toast and big avocado colliding to stop me buying a house.

I wrote a book. 4 years after the world ends Haley is stuck on the wrong side of what's left if the wrong continent and just wants to get home. Reviews on Goodreads love it or call it #woke-trash. Get it now. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D6...
