As I was saying

At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

pretentious literature boys are a keyhole species in places like grody oyster bars, bookstores that smell of the pipe smoke creepy men in white suits favor, parks with trees that are fun to climb when you’re tripping bonkers, and remote Northern cabins within a 20 minute fixie ride to a wine bar

It's very easy to understand the appeal of living in Boston. Is the weather good? No. Is the food good? No. Is it affordable? Not in the least. Are the people pleasant? LOL, LMAO. But on the flipside of that, it's very easy to get a shitty donut and a cup full of vaguely coffee-tinged sugar water.

I hate winter, everything closes at nine, I hate winter, food is mediocre, I hate winter, crappy housing at insane prices, I hate winter, New England culture is not my thing, I hate winter

We welcome any and all MacArthur slander

Continuing my Korean War/Halberstam posting: It’s hard to convey how malignant Douglas MacArthur was, how anti-democratic, what a persistent threat to civil-military relations. Conversely, George Marshall was a man of towering integrity and wisdom.

A very good friend sent me these WP Atlases because they didn't have the room for them. It's like having all the NatGeo maps when I was a kid.

We’ve got everything this week

Zach Urness@oregonoutdoors.bsky.social · 3d ago

We've got temperatures in the 100s, wildfire smoke blowing in from the east and a red flag warning in the forecast for Western Oregon beginning on Aug. 3 and lasting much of next week. Full breakdown: tinyurl.com/566fb3ey

It's like, how much more relaxed could she be? And the answer is none. None more relaxed

When read in the context of the book of Isaiah, this is what we used to call, blasphemy.

Make. It. Stop.

I have spent 12 Saturdays in a row working on the Rodney Grissom body dump, and have cleared approximately 8600 sq ft of hillside looking for his remains. The work continues.

ChatGPT now has a space for sharing medical records. Should you?

I would rather have a completely white cover with the title of your book in Wingdings before I paid for an AI cover. I would rather you pay an entire class of 3rd yr olds to do your cover art than you use AI. Stick figures guys. Stick figures.

I would rather see Comic Sans used on a shitty book cover than look at AI slop. Something you threw together in MS Paint would be better.

Name a book you wish everyone else had to read.

I’d have been a logger.

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

I’m definitely all the way on the end of “I think the person French kissing my neck is being nice” spectrum. I have zero idea when someone finds me attractive / is into me.

OhBraains🧟‍♂️@ohnono.eurosky.social · 6d ago

Where are you on the “that sex worker is in to me” to “I think this person licking my ear is just trying to be friendly” spectrum? I’m “they must have sent me those nudes accidentally.”

Salem did not come to play with the tech industry

Every time I go to Home Depot and buy a packet of washers for $1.39 or some such, I get a series of follow up emails asking that I review them Guys I don't know what to tell you, they're round and metallic with a hole in the center, really everything I dreamed of

People here will skeet anything. "Ghengis Khan didn't have hordes." Yes he did. That isn't true.
