i think someone hit and run someone i know. She's a transgender woman who left here because of death threats and moved to Denver. she has no memory of what happened but the injuries are consistent with a full on vehicle impact. massive concussion. she's conscious but having trouble focusing.

i'm having the urge to write a horror novel but I have no ideas for one. don't know where the urge is coming from, really. I need to finish hell cycle before I start anything else. probably following a bunch of writers who talking about writing implanted the idea.

income tax cut failed. a bunch of otherwise progressive people I know wanted that but, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you why. there's a strain of libertarianism in the "left-leaning" folks here, even the LGBT ones. annoying. what few times I can be around people "like me" here aren't great

talked to my stock broker. he's connected to all those silicon valley types so I figure he knows what's what. he said put all of my money into Pervitin stock because it's about to blow up huge. his eyes were a little bloodshot and his voice was a bit loud but he seemed pretty certain.

tired of being broke in an attention economy I shout "WITNESS ME" and do something stupid. not a soul says a word, not even "mediocre." The silence is only broken by the susurration of a hot wind. Ahead, the sun has long set but the horizon still glows with a lurid orange.

inventing a new mind uploading technology. it's a cheese grater powered by a gas engine and you apply it to the uploadee's skull and then carefully scan the resulting pulp and enter that data into a computer. living forever as a veritable God has never been easier or more fun!

combining online gambling with generative AI in way designed for CEOs. you say batshit stuff into a microphone and then make bets. the AI is super smart and knows whether or not the crazy statement will usher in the future and causes a number to go WAY up if what you said is really awesome.

Zohran Mamdanis win meant nothing and you shouldn’t look at his win as a bellwether for the rest of the country. At the same time, his win will scare voters in red states and so therefore democrats will lose there. Anybody else smell toast?

if you shine a black light on the "if you read this, you are gay" graffiti in the men's bathroom, you can see the sigil of Lilith spirit of sexual and gender fuckery, glowing underneath it. yet another joke that got out of hand.

that’s all it is. all of this. the “Trans In Sports” fairness question is a trojan horse for what you really want — to keep trans kids hidden away from your own kids, so you can pursue your vicarious, narcissistic parenting project. your children are no more than project cars to you. fuck you

gonna get a new job, gonna put on a nice suit, coif my hair just so, polish my shoes, and get a nice tie. sit down and write important news articles about how a diet of maggots and clay works wonders and should be put in every cafeteria and restaurant in the area.
