Anyone know why the Goodyear blimp was just floating over the northtowns on my drive home? Lol

This entire article is the dumbest, most centrist-brained thing I've ever read. "Sure, he was outspent $60m to $4m, against someone who was already an elected official & backed by the govenor, but some people thought he might win bigger so this is a dissappintment to progressives." LOL.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Honestly I hadnt planned on getting my chest anywhere near my laptop screen extenders but I appreciate the warning, I guess.

Still the best venn diagram to ever exist:

Whenever anyone posts a picture of chicken wings, you can guarantee the most embarrassing Buffalo suburbanite in existence will come out of the wood work to comment about blue cheese over ranch. Who gives a shit, man. Stop yelling at people about thier dipping sauces.

THUNDER (nah nah nah naaaaah nah nah nah nahnah)

I thought of an entirely new novel idea tonight and ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY BRAIN ARE FLASHING EXCITEMENT. The problem is, I already have 2 WIPS going, both decently long so far, and if I add a third into that?

NOOOO! GOD! NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO! - Michael Scott

Okay but (TRUE STORY I STG) one time a friend of mine & I were in Xi'An and it started POURING rain so we decided to try to jog back to out hotel & suddenly she was no longer next to me, so I look behind and there she is sprawled out on the sidewalk & what she slipped on WAS A BANANA PEEL.

That's not funny. My dad died from slipping on a banana peel.

Exactly ONE MONTH from today, Calming the Chaos, the 3rd and final book in The Hallowed Star Trilogy, will be released. I'll be having a launch party at The Merry Shelley on Hertel ave from 6-7pm for anyone interested! Ill have all 3 books available if you've been waiting. 21+.

I do not know who Alexander Thatcher is but i know that "Your traitor ancestors were not worth the bones of a single Prussian who died fighting to end slavery" is one of the single greatest sentences ever written.

Alexander is right, so presumably MAGA's next step will be the mass deportation of members of the Irish- and German-American diaspora

Theres a new "Thursday at the Square" Thats actually M&T Bank at Fountain Plaza and it very much so gives off early 2000s Thursday at rhe Square vibes.

Liz picked our first ripe tomatoes of the summer and im gonna cry theyre SO PERFECT

You can't make me care about the Buffalo Bills Football Team in July. I cared about the Bills in July for decades and its not going to happen anymore.

Recently I've read *and* loved: The House in the Cerulean Sea, Station Eleven, The Galaxy & The Ground Within. I started Tress of the Emerald Sea last week on vacation but couldn't find my way into it. I will try again in a few weeks.

I think the main thing that AI tech bro's fundamentally do not understand is that most people who are artists, musicians, writers, etc, are not doing it solely to have an end goal/product. We *enjoy* the making/creating/building aspect and at the end there *happens* to be a product.

Everyone should go to this! I was planning to but unfortunately both my wife and I have come down with something the last 36 hours and its starting to kick my ass.

One last reminder: our general election campaign kickoff fundraiser is today at Duende at 5:30! Looks like the weather will hold off for us, so come on out!

Its a slow offseason so im working on a list of the definitive 10 Best Fruits to drop sometime in the next few weeks. If you have strong opinions, drop em below and im willing to listen.

A literal blue collar for a team that just spent $2.3B on a stadium with almost a Billion coming from taxpayers. A team that forced PSLs onto season ticket holders. A team valued at almost $6B. Lol. I thought I could no longer be shocked by audacity, but by god, they did it.

I don't want to hate things about my sports teams, it doesn't fuel me in any way, shape or form. I'm in my 40s and no longer have Big Angry Feelings (tm) about what happens in the offseason. All that being said: These alt jerseys are fucking terrible. What an absolute miss in every aspect.

.......

Skill issue.

man this place is so dead. can't you feel it? log on every night and it's the same five people arguing over the same five things, forever

There are very few good reasons to be up at 7am. This? This is one of them.

I think the highest concentration of writers on social media has to be LinkedIn because everyone's making up stories all the time over there.
