I think I may be unusually indifferent to suspense and mysteries in stories. Until recently I thought that stories that hold your interest by making you wonder what comes next were bad, but now I think maybe I'm just not wired to appreciate that.

jd vance 2015: has anyone seen #Archer? #ThatsHowYouGetAnts lol! jd vance 2025: I'm not saying it's necessarily good to be molested - no one is saying that - but if you are going to be molested, obviously you'd want the President of the United States to do it. Why do we pretend otherwise?

Trump Denies Writing 36-Volume Comic Titled ‘Don And Jeff: Time Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-denies-writing-36-volume-comic-titled-don-and-jeff-time-pedophiles/

My three year old pointed and laughed at a cybertruck the other day without being taught to do that

OK but pedophilia really should have a lower bar for criticism than grammar.

im hearing now, that all the nerds who got their pants pulled down while distracted by the Northern Lights, will be charged as sex offenders

I have hit 40k words in my first draft and I'm finally able to let myself down by botching the best part of the story.

I'm reading about a plan the army had to lure Saddam out of the spider hole by carpet bombing the area with porno mags, but in test runs a little porno kept falling in the hole, rendering the whole thing pointless

Young men are in crisis because they have to go to the really horny castle from Monty Python.

Spilled coffee in my lunchbox this morning but luckily it's a leftover French dip sandwich and is meant to be eaten soggy.

No one more than the richest man on earth demonstrates how extreme wealth is a prison for the chronically miserable.

figured out how to get Marijuana Simpson on my amazon kindle e-reader device.

I like that Tubi has a category of movie that's just called "Movie Night!" and for some reason the movies in that category really do feel specifically appropriate for a movie night in a way that other movies on Tubi do not.

Spoke to a clergy member the other day and they told me that a stranger recently called their church with a sob story that sounded fishy, but they sent the guy money anyway, and then within a few days they got flooded with calls giving the same very specific sob story...

Josh Winder was my first baseball prospect heartbreak, but Jose Miranda was my first baseball prospect love who took a bit longer to become a heartbreak.

cool how elon keeps saying shit like, we must crush "suicidal empathy" to achieve mankind's full potential. it's like if star wars was about emperor palpatine promising the next movie is going to have a death star in it for sure and then at the end there's a ceremony where he gets a trillion dollars

There's an Achewood arc going on right now where Todd is sober and for some reason sobriety has made him 2x his normal height.

If capitalism really gives consumers what they want then why has Disney not resumed big-screen Muppet adaptations of classic literature?

Finding out about litRPGs and I feel the only rational response to this genre is for me to become the joker

I'm sorry but the best comparison for Wicked is that it's Solo with singing. It is absolutely wild how many things they try to explain the origin of that really didn't need to be explained. There's an explanation of how the good witch loses her sleeves

For all the valid criticism of Giuliani, he’s still a hero for saving New York’s egg

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

Forgive me for signal boosting ai by hating on it, but I find it very interesting that the menu boards are clearly screens, showing different sizes of text and no artifacts of physical interchangeable letters.

Watched Magic Schoolbus with my kid and they're inside a kid's digestive system, and they had to do a special maneuver and get him to burp them out, specifically because they don't want to go out his ass, and I'm like, you're in his colon standing by a turd, why is the anus where you draw the line?

hipsters were actually totally right about listening to bands no one has ever heard of instead of popular music

My three year old drew this incredible self portrait and the simpletons at the preschool made her erase it.

[NY Post on the White Stripes induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] "How Jack White's reclusive ex-wife unilaterally altered the White Stripes' sound"

"Books these days don't trust the reader to connect the dots. They feel like they need to spell everything out for you." Yeah bro, I read a book about whaling this summer and this guy spent thirty chapters explaining what whales are.

I think it's kind of satisfying that Republicans are about to find out how well a "we don't have anything to offer, but you MUST vote against THAT guy!" campaign goes.

I don't think that I could write science fiction because I would definitely think I had a great idea that would turn out to be the premise of a huge franchise I hadn't heard of.

The promise of social media is in essence if you’re slightly more articulate than most or have a particularly interesting skill, you can attract thousands of people who think that makes you their pro bono therapist

Dear God, the hubris of carpet in the bathroom...

I realize I'm going to sound pearl-clutchy here, but it amazes me every Halloween how many little kids have seen R-rated horror films. It was the same when I was a kid too, all the ten year old kids on my street knew and loved all the big slasher franchises.

Is Gendo's chinstrap a Captain Ahab reference? I don't know how well known that novel is in Japan.

Hey is anyone I know on here doing (unofficial) novel writing month in November?

Had to unfollow the Chauncer guy again for being boring. I had given him a 2nd chance on Bluesky because there are so few good gimmick accounts on here. He was getting too excited about Lord of the Rings.

Those robot servants that are actually being remote controlled by people overseas would be great satire of the state of the tech world if they weren't real. A sci-fi staple made lazily real but under the hood it's just exploitation.

Splish Splash I was taken aback

I think one of the insane things here is that these guys have no vision for being in charge of a household other than being in charge for the sake of being in charge.

AI GUY WHO HATES COMPUTERS: I hate computers. But I LOVE ai!! well guess what. computers are what gave rise to ai in the first place. no computers no ai simple as

Someone should make an edition of Moby Dick with a bunch of added chapters where Ishmael talks about all the whale facts we've learned since that book came out.

I heard that Elon Musk made his own version of TV Tropes that says Iron Man is based on him.

Watched The Little Mermaid the other night for the first time since I was a kid last night, and was surprised by how elastic and capital-C cartoonish Ariel is, like that famous scene where she's posing on that rock she's so goggle-eyed she looks almost off-model.

Writing groups online are bizarrely hostile toward the idea of originality on any level. Like if someone shows up fretting about how they found out their story shares a plot point with Avatar: The Last Airbender or something like that, people come out of the woodwork to shame the idea of originality

LOL, he's doing Tevye's stupid dream mansion from Fiddler on the Roof for real.

Things just got a lot easier for king David.
