Too often, people who say "I hate small talk" and "I need authentic, deep conversation" really mean "I will drone on relentlessly about whatever I like and never ask you a question or allow you to contribute"

Talking to yourself to organize your thoughts: tried and true. Reliable. Free. No environmental costs Talking to ai for it: insane. Unreliable. How cancerous ideas enter the body. Boils the oceans. Your data will be sold to targeted advertisers. Immoral.

RFK Jr on his fishing trip: a cooler full of jerky. No sunscreen in sight. He stops at a gas station and purchases a "supplement" where the package has an AI-generated picture of a wolf with abs.

What's hurting my brain (but what will probably be a good thing in the long run) is that these assholes could be quietly racist, quietly fascist, and make secret moves to ruin everything, but they'd rather make a big messy toilet splash with memes and insults. Hearts and minds it is not.

I used "whip a shitty" to refer to making a U-turn; friend protested that phrase meant specifically doing donuts. Third friend is not from Midwest and thought we were both nuts.

Invisible friends can keep a nice thought tomorrow as I head into hosting Thanksgiving, traditionally my drunkest holiday (up until four years ago). I'm fine and it won't be a huge struggle, but there is a slight grit-your-teeth aspect to the day for me.

Calling a woman "piggy" as an insult is so bizarre and anachronistic that I am not surprised there was so little reaction. Unless you're a thousand years old, you'd be like wtf. What does that even mean

I read "Bright Lights, Big City" as a high school freshman and was immediately like, "This is how I want to live, this is what I want to read." I have matured literarily and I'm not a degenerate cokehead (anymore) but I wanted to collect them all.

This is a catastrophic sentence. If I wrote this sentence, I would take a vow of silence for the rest of my life. If I even praised a writer who wrote this sentence, I would understand that it was time for me to retire from the world of writing forever.
