Writer. Not too annoying. Books: American Cheese, Away With Words, You Blew it. Bylines: Many of the good places.

BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

Toy Story is and always has been an immoral film series. it teaches children that they should feel guilt for not playing with all of their toys equally, and that playing creatively "wrong" is evil. Pixar must be held to account

I’m showing my age here, but when I’m buying weapons grade plutonium that’s more of a “on the computer” purchase. It feels weird buying it on my phone!

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
