Today I learned puffins can fly!

One bit of serendipity around a search-and-replace mishap: It makes obvious that I overuse the word “manage” in my writing.

What’s the deal with KEF? My plane landed 2 hours ago and I’ve been in queues ever since and still not on the bus to the city. There was a line to leave baggage claim and I assumed it was for customs but it was just people being slow.

No passport stamp entering Iceland? What a disappointment

Do people in England when talking about expensive things ever give the price in tons instead of pounds?

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

So far, four people have been picking their way backwards through the packed line for airport security wearing the expression of a knight who, upon defeating the dragon in his quest to rescue the fair maiden, discovers that the princess is his aunt.

Pancakes are awesome but blueberry pancakes (with the blueberries in the batter) are even more awesome.

Thinking about all the ai scandals and wondering, doesn’t everybody have all the old versions of their work cluttering their hard drives? If someone accused me of using ai, I could pull up countless previous versions of a piece from my computer not to mention printed copies with my scribbled notes.

This week’s mystery movie at the local theater was The Ice Cream Man. At least it was short.

I believe in the Oxford comma, as much as I believe in serial killers, rotator cuff injuries and spontaneous diarrhea, none of which I also want in my life

Big talk from a guy who doesn’t believe in the Oxford comma, I don’t wanna hear NOTHIN grammatical from you

Because everything is on Wikipedia

Willing myself to believe that this rejection was a tiered one:

Hey. Do something kind. For no reason but that it's cool when people do kind shit. Kindness is punk as fuck. That is all.

If I ever win the lottery, I’m going to give away a big chunk of the money by sending out Nigerian prince emails and whoever actually responds will get the money, just to mess with people’s expectations.

My first acceptance of the year.

Definitely worth the click.

Does anyone know what’s going on with Cimarron Review? I’ve had a submission lingering there for 14 months now and I’m wondering if they’re still publishing.

There’s an advertisement on my fortune. We are truly in the bad place.

Fucking search & replace.

Giancarlo Esposito really makes everything he’s in that much better.

Whoa, Normal is a wild wild film. (Currently available on Kanopy). I suggest going into it knowing nothing more than it has Bob Odenkirk and the title.

Saw the Invite tonight. It felt like watching a Woody Allen film but without the moral discomfort that comes with watching an actual Woody Allen film. For me at least, this was a good thing. I think it helped that I went into the movie knowing nothing more than the title & the cast.

Oh man, this is really good. The people at the piano man bar good.

Now, the opening line, you have: 🎶 "Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Satan. Hello there!" 🎶 I wonder if that gives away the game a little bit early. Maybe just keep the first sentence?

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

I was watching MInions and Monsters with my kids today and at one point one of the characters in the movie said, “we ran out of film” and my daughter asked me, “what’s film?” 💀

My picks for today’s matches: Colombia and Argentina out of pan-Latin solidarity. Does anyone else expect the Swiss team to just stand around not interfering during their matches.
