This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

This one's a banger

Got a bunch of guys taking a big ole freezer out of my basement and they keep going like "aaahhhh what is this???” as they're trying to get it out the door and around the corner.

🚨Flash Friday🚨 Montgomery County, MD is projected to have an 18% ⬆️ in population & 29% ⬆️ in employment by 2050. The days of widening roads & expanding parking lots are in the past.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

i've been weirdly invested in this dog's sweater alteration IG roodabeguh

Merry Wifemas to all and to all a good wife

thinkin about stuff

"This story doesn't need a sandworm" This is almost always wrong. Arguably, EVERY story benefits from adding a huge subterranean worm with quasi-mystical or semi-supernatural powers, or equivalent (similar to Moby Dick). Obviously the bigger the worm, the more literary quality it adds.

The Brownville's Food Pantry For Deer is back for the year! I've learned the community around it has recorded lore for recognizable deer like Shaggy; an actual factual gender nonconforming deer. Nature is beautiful.

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2. www.sfwa.org/complete-neb... This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI

A petite, beautifully-faceted gem by a master of the craft -- Link never misses.

LEAVE BILL WATTERSON ALONE, YOU CREEP

and tiny tim, who was NOT in the epstein files,

the most important thing any novel can have, though, is The Worst Woman In the World

Q: Well how would that even work? Have you thought of every single mechanic and eventuality of this scheme? Do you realize how hard it would be to accomplish? A: oh then I guess we shouldn’t try. sorry

the world has changed

“If the Messiah were born today, we would absolutely want him arriving in a way that minimizes the impact on our single-family neighborhoods.”

Ominous

one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

Have you been having trouble finding eel testicles? Worried you're doing it wrong? Don't fret...it's not just you! Folks from Aristotle on tried & failed to sex eels. Young Sigmund Freud spent a summer in Italy dissecting 400 eels looking for their testes, without success. 1/6 🗃️🧪

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

nice argument, too bad I have depicted you as a long-haired commoner and myself as a handsome priest

one thing that's making me feel particularly insane lately is how there is no longer any limit to the amount of wrong you can be

Detroit people! Transit and train people! For some reason they have free (u pay $8 shipping) Detroit People Mover shirts right now, til Dec 8. www.moq1.com/detroit-tran...

Yessssssss

You’ll Be OK

This is a weirdly biased article @bannermoco.bsky.social. The vast majority of the community and the council supported safer streets and more homes on University Bvld in MoCo but you all frame this as the opposite of that 🤔🚩 www.thebanner.com/economy/grow...

She cleaned houses to make ends meet. Now she leads the Montgomery County Council.

Incredible news. Thank you to my council member @natalifg.bsky.social for your leadership on this and other smart growth initiatives in Montgomery County! www.thebanner.com/economy/grow...

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

They finally got old enough to take the blame, I'm so proud of them 🥲🙏

this AI shit is not gonna break me. I am still a writer and I'm still gonna write shit and it's gonna mostly be "just OK" workaday prose elevated by my little poetic flourishes but it's gonna be something only I could write. and maybe I won't even do anything with it, but it will exist

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.
