#author, shenaniganizer, martial artist. Generally good guy. Still woke. Still supports DEI. Curses a lot. No longer looks good even in black and white photos.

Sci-Fi meets Now

Dystopia

In the near future, two scientists make a breakthrough that will either free humanity or forever enslave it.
A breathtaking romp through pre-dystopian times.

"Per company policy, #mental health is just as important as physical health. That's why all employees are required to attend the mandatory tofu and vegetarian pizza party today from 12:00 until 12:30."

If the #health of a country is measured by its leadership, we're end-stage.

He thinks he's above the law, but it's becoming more and more apparent that he actually might be above the law. Name one more prodigious criminal who's gotten away with everything throughout their entire sordid life.

"You have to #learn this."
"Why?"
"Because it's important."
"To who? When I am ever going to need to understand 'The Canterbury Tales'?"
"Well, right now for starters. If you don't pass this class, you don't graduate."

It's one thing to #learn something, quite another to integrate that thing. And then even another to unlearn all the crap that was shoved at you throughout your life.
Knowledge is power, but oftentimes it's power for someone else.

Should we start a GoFundMe for turkey so it can afford to bribe Trump for a pardon?

For the longest time, he thought he was a vampire because he couldn't see his #reflection.
It turned out he was just ugly and mirrors didn't want to show him.

The tighter everything is #timed, the more likely it is to go wrong. That's why I always miss the best donuts in the morning.
Stupid traffic.

"Chimed, primed, and #timed."
"Could you just answer without trying to be cool?"
"Well, excuse me Mr. Professional Terrorist Man. I didn't realize planting a bomb was such a serious task."

"Ugh. Fine. Ready, sir."

"...so, as you see now, the inherent issue is now and always has been the bees."
"How is this #relevant?"
"Oh, it's not. I was just keeping you occupied while the trap was sprung. Goodbye, Mr. Bond."

Next time you ask yourself, "How is this #relevant?" you should realize it probably isn't. Most of life is just a bunch of stuff happening.

Behold: The new #Trumpcare plan!
Instead of healthcare for you, how about more tax cuts for billionaires? Won't that make you feel good?

Yes, there’s a human drive to reach for the stars, but what happens after we fulfill that goal?

Saying "Name three #specific reasons why you hate him" is the same as saying "You like that band? Name three songs". It's petty, controlling bullshit. I can hate someone without getting into the details.

My son said he'd do something "when pigs fly". I reminded him Air Force One is a thing and flies regularly.

"I'm hoping to get a little #action tonight," he said, leaning in until she felt his breath on her neck.
"You want action?" she replied.
"Damned right."
"Then fight me," she said as she kneed him in gut. "I'll give you all the action you can handle."
