Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.
I know the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction isn’t a dead magazine. But it’s coming across like a dead magazine. Do they still put out issues? I know they changed to 4x a year. But, still…?
This "no. 1 song of all time" nonsense is erasing Yes! We Have No Bananas and I won't have it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAZ7...

A lot of these “country” people aren’t even all that rural and I wouldn’t gatekeep but they sing and brag about their wee yeehaw upbringing and whatnot, so I figure I have a right to sneer. Get your “city of 200,000 with a Costco, 18 Starbucks and a Whole Foods“ outta here, city slicker
For the record, I only like Outlaw Country and the 1960s and 1970s superstars my parents liked (Dolly, Waylon, Charlie, etc) and I hate Bro Country with the heat of a thousand suns and Garth Brooks was always cringe. Glad that settles that, I will return to my classical
Yeah, I went to two alternative schools in a row and the phrase “we’re all fucking smart here, just some of us choose not to be assholes” definitely applies to the rationalists
Seconded and posted. Everyone else get aboard and let it fly.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4d agoThe major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...
So in “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” song, we’re all convinced the Devil played better, right? Because Johnny just played some down home cornpone bullshit you could hear on Hee Haw.
I would *never* drink iced coffee at a job interview. That is so lame—when you could be lining up shots of tequila!

Motion pictures are a passing fad. Do we really need all those belly dancers on Coney Island? More free jello for immigrants!
I finished a science fiction short story today. Halfway through a new Haxan short story. Lot of writing today.
I'm trying to stop being mean but it's like y'all have to stop being stupid first.
No one needs to feel like they have to demonstrate anything about themselves to me; I expect the same.
Went to the library today and ended up transcribing 2,000 words from my notebooks, which is more than I’ve done in quite a while
Yes, I know there's a special place in Hell for me- ...its called a throne.
"I had no idea Keene or Mamatas had anything like this in them. I had no idea something like this was even possible...And it’s got me fired the fuck up; for this project, for my own fiction, for grabbing hold of life and taking a big fat bite and chew and masticate and swallow."

1150: When Olde English stopped being spoken. 1597: When Romeo and Juliet was written (almost 450 years later). 1300s: When Romeo and Juliet was set during the Italian Renaissance. So this is a stupid, ahistorical gimmick by Eggers.
