Hey online used book sellers, when I buy a book that’s listed as “Hardcover”, yeah I actually *want* the hardcover. I don’t want to keep the paperback you sent me I already have one. I appreciate the offer of a $2 discount but no. #books

The downside of having a lot of secret free time at work is there’s nothing to do but doomscroll and the news and everything in it is the news headlines you see as the background intro for a post apocalypse movie.

I feel like every morning the world tries really hard to make me into a nihilist.

Anybody else put the respectable niche books on top of your stack from the bookstore/library to hide the trash you’re also buying or is it just me? #Booksky #books

Today’s the last day for deals

I’ve been reading @tkingfisher.com ‘s “What moves the Dead” and I had a nightmare about being stalked by fungus zombies and woke up in a cold sweat. 5 stars, no notes 👍 , I’ll never look at rabbits the same way

Again, I know in the telling it sounds like I was on top of this situation but really, I was still just thinking, Oh shit oh shit oh shit.

I started researching an article back in April that I have yet to write. I need to update my sources since soooo much more has happened. It's about the dangers of AI. Here are the subheadings I have that all included sourced examples. Grab a drink and relax...

I have discovered that the best way to avoid family fights and drama at Thanksgiving is just to not fucking go.

We need some sort of “ai free” certification similar to how food companies have a vegan or organic or gluten-free to help us buy shit.

Whew zoned out at work and I’ve been here an hour? WTF have I been doing?

My dipshit boomer MAGA coworkers are listening to this fucking ai generated country song and talking about how great it is I’m in Hell, this is Hell #aisucks #Hell #wediedandareinhell #helpmetheysentmetoboomerhell

Wake up with an existential crisis googling self-help tips and all the advice makes me want to throat punch a motherfucker, how’s your morning going?

I don’t know what I was going to tell them, but it was going to involve the words “I can’t do my job if none of you fucking listen to me”

During this rainstorm and flooding I have discovered to my pure delight that splashing through puddles in your rainboots is just as delightful now as when I was nine.

Sometimes you gotta stop and enjoy the little things in life, the crows cawing, two people enjoying a coffee date, this idiot trying to parallel park that has no goddamn spatial awareness whatsoever. Oh wow they’re trying for the spot in front of my car. Imma have to help her or buy a new bumper.

I feel like every morning the world tries really hard to make me into a nihilist.

There was some strange system where they all got their food and shelter and education and medical for free, no matter what job they did.

They can’t make threats and force you to do stuff you don’t want to do if they’re unconscious or dead.

Swarm of bees moving thru the lumberyard today

Do I *need* a signed first edition of a book I read and loved, but haven’t read in 15 years and have no idea if it holds up as I was a different person back then and I fundamentally wonder if I would still love it if I re-read it today? It’s like 30 bucks.

I couldn’t. I just couldn’t. Look, I’m 98% certain I’m not qualified (let them weed me out). But having to write 5 short essays, one on how I would advance the President’s Executive Orders & policy priorities, while govt is shutdown & more layoffs at revered depts, why would I apply?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The Moving Day Diaries: My plans to Do All The Things in one weekend expired in the face of pure physical inability. The movers I hired gave me little tasks to do and I realized it was to keep me out of their way, like when a child tries to help. I have lost the coffee. Despair prevails.

Coworker threw an untouched slice of pizza in the trash. It was touch-and-go, but I resisted my inner raccoon and left it there even though it smelled so good…

It’s past noon Pacific time, anybody checked in on your evangelicals? I haven’t heard of anybody floating in the sky yet so we might want to check in on your local evangelicals, see how they’re doing. #rapture

So apparently the Rapture is happening today or tomorrow (probably tomorrow since we’re mostly through today already), and nobody’s even covering it. For shame, mainstream media.

How’s capitulating to Trump working out for you NYT? apnews.com/article/trum...

My partner and I speculating on why we were rejected from an apartment rental like

Apartment hunting in a HCOL area is a great way to find yourself hating the scumbags out there. $2.2k/month for a shoebox with barely running water, you absolute scumbags…

Really not looking forward to the water cooler talk with dipshit MAGA coworker tomorrow.

If he’s dead, he got away with it. He lived to old age on a diet of cheeseburgers, became a billionaire by lies and grift, became powerful and influential without a single positive personality trait. He raped little girls. And he died in his own bed. There is no God, no Karma, and no justice.

I’m digging #alien:earth but like the Xeno trying to bust through two pressure doors to kill the Wey-Yu cyborg then NOT murdering the motherfucker after cyborg had tasered Xeno doesn’t make any sense. Also this Xeno is heavy on the murder, aren’t they usually trying to take victims to be facehugged?

Got my attention span under control long enough to finish Rose of Jericho by @alexgrecian.bsky.social , wondering what to read next and the new @sgj.bsky.social was lurking on my step, gave it a flip to see what side to read first and it landed on its side like a cursed artifact #booksky #horrorlit

@sgj.bsky.social Chaucers books in Santa Barbara CA still has some red edges if anybody’s hunting for them #buffalohunterhunter #horrorlit

Happy Rex Manning Day to those who celebrate #rexmanning #empirerecords

Goodbye Bigfoot

Dipshit MAGA coworker: “I don’t know how these transfers keep getting screwed up, it doesn’t make any sense!” Me: “You literally keep hitting ‘cancel’ instead of ‘Accept’. Just don’t hit cancel.” DMC: “I think it’s a computer glitch.” #workplacehell #working #stupidpeople

Finally, after watching everybody else get their copy mine arrived @sgj.bsky.social #booksky

I’m convinced the “show less like this” option on the videos feed does absolutely nothing, like the “walk” button on a crosswalk.

*Looking at myself in the mirror* “Ah, man, I forgot to shave my ears again.” #over40things

Alright, Dipshit in Chief is abandoning them, how the fuck do we donate to Ukraine? I’m not finding answers on Google 🇺🇦

“How does one eliminate desire from the heart, that yearning for more that we all feel that leads to true suffering in this life?” My Boss: “All I said is I want you to show up before your shift starts instead of consistently a couple minutes after. You even stopped and got coffee first.”

“Oh, you want to know what my favorite Gene Hackman movie is?” “No, actually nobody gives a shit what you have to say about anyth-“ “The Quick and the Dead! It’s a batshit, pulpy mess of a movie about a small desert town’s annual gunfighting contest and Hackman tears it up as the villain RIP Hackman

Some pretentious dickbag somehow found my office and had the audacity to ask me for pricing info, I felt generous so I gave him the prices and he launched into this horseshit story that I think was set up as a joke or something about being behind a rich person and a poor person in line at a coffee

I’m listing off all the reasons I shouldn’t like #TheGorge in my head, the bonkers plot, nonsensical character decisions, suspension of disbelief doing some damn work while watching…but I don’t hate it I love it. Action/Horror/Sci-Fi/Romance.
