#vss365 "Maybe your eternal youth's an effect of #chaos theory." "It's magic." "Maybe all your cells renew perfectly." "Magic." "It MUST be science." "..." "How?!" "Dark thousand-year magic with a human sacrifice done by Nazis. I replaced Adolf's hair with mine to mess up the ritual. Oops." "Magic?"

Long before humanity, before the invention of time, before the sun, moon, and stars, there was only a dark, chaotic void. Even in our ordered universe, life can often feel very much out of control. Your #vss365 #prompt for August 5, 2026 is #chaos Join me in the bedlam! 🌀

1, with a bit of sugar 3, with real butter 3, because I like my cooked meat hot and anything rarer has a cool center; we didn't invent fire to eat cold cow

#vss365 I pulled out my folding knife and cut a slice of the pear. At the look on my face, she asked, "What's wrong?" "What"? I asked. "Oh. For too many years, the pears I ate came in cans. Peeled, cut, and packed in sweet syrup." "Fresh #fruit is healthier." "I know. But it's not what I remember."

#vss365 "I need you to #tend to something for me," the OEI agent said. "Who else knows?" I asked. "Just me. So far. Unless you say no." "It'd be a shame if your sister's Millennium Star Scholarship was revoked and had to go to Detroit public schools," I said. "You?" "Me. Walk away. And tell no one."

In one sense, this word conjures a gentle, nurturing touch. But it can also suggest an inclination that may or may not be desirable. Hmmm ...🤔 Your #vss365 #prompt for August 3, 2026 is #tend What's yours to tend? 🤲

America has reached a point where we can no longer tell the difference between people pulling our leg for fun & truly stupid people believing truly stupid things. I'm 99% certain these guys are kidding. But then I see the Ivermectin-takers who died and 1% of me goes, "What if they ARE that stupid?"

The whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA

#TheLibrarians Just remembered that MORGAN LE FAY was Merlin's apprentice in some versions of the story and she appeared in the original "The Librarians." I wonder if she's gonna make an appearance or if they're using a different version of the story.

#TheLibrarians Wait. Is Lysa reciting the lyrics to Tom Lehrer's song? TO THE GOOGLE! "There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen, and oxygen, and nitrogen, and rhenium And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium" I think she is. I'll need to listen again unless someone confirms.

#TheLibrarians The Next Chapter "And the Burning Heart" (S02E01) Season 2 begins with a season 1 recap and the 3 Librarians being ever so smug to each other. Charlie is burned out. I wonder if we'll get to meet the other 3 Guardians. (We SHOULD have met Stone's last season.)

#vss365 "Thus, #creation and destruction are both urges of the ego," I concluded my lecture. "Professor?" "Yes?" "Is teaching an urge of the ego?" The class laughed. "If you ever teach someone, Mr. Watson, you'll find that teaching does not involve ego, but assigning grades to snarky students does."

Before the world was born, darkness hovered over the vast, unformed void. Two words - "Be Light!" - sparked the beginning of the whole universe. As writers, we use our words to create (or destroy) worlds. Your #vss365 #prompt for August 2, 2026 is #creation Show me yours! 🤭

Some of those 1970s songs went a little dark with their upbeat melodies. Lyrics in this post, link to the single in the next post. "We're living in a danger zone The world could end tomorrow But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight." And y'all wonder why Gen X is the way it is.

I picked up the paper this morning
And read all the daily blues
The world is one big tragedy
I wonder what I can do
About all the pain and injustice
About all of the sorrow
We're living in a danger zone
The world could end tomorrow
But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight
Life on the streets is a jungle
A struggle to keep up the pace
I just can't beat that old dog-eat-dog
The rats keep winnin' the rat race
But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight, no, I'm not
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I will not let it bother me tonight
Not tonightLord, Lord, Lord
We got nothing but trouble
I've done all I can do today
So bartender pour me a double, right now
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight, no, I'm not
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
No, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I will not let it bother me tonight
No, I'm not
I'm not gonna let it bother me
I'm not gonna let it bother me
I'm not gonna let it bother me
I'm not gonna let it bother me
Not gonna let it bother me, oh no
I'm not gonna let it bother me
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight, no, no
