Guns kill.

As an audiobook narrator, I completely endorse this idea. And short sentences are better than long ones 🤓
Hot tip for writers.

when the ms is perfected, record it (as for an audio book).

Am recording my new book + surprised at how easy it is to pick out the prose clunkers.*

Next time, I will record book before I publish print.

*Yes, I read it aloud. But *listening* is different.

Slight spoiler alert for the show Alien: Earth 🤫

Watching the episode where one of the robot children is convinced she's pregnant, I immediately flashed back to this old sketch from the Secret Policeman's Other Ball. Weird how the mind works, innit? 🤣

(Watch on YouTube 🧐)

I want to get a new shower curtain, but I'm boycotting Amazon. I stumbled upon this collection based on classic works of art. They're a bit too expensive, but damn if I don't want 'em all 😅

I did a double-take at Burlington Coat Factory today when I discovered that the Spanish word for panties is calzones. I don't quite know what to do with that information 😵

Tr*mp genuinely believes he is adorable. I almost feel sorry for him here. Almost 🧐
this shit is just beyond parody, man

Though I may not live to see it, I believe a better day will come. The kids are all right 🤓
Mockler: Young people are having trouble accumulating capital in the form of housing or in the form of investing. And due to that, you see a lot of younger people turning against the system. We're not loyal to a system that hasn't been loyal to us.

This is a perfect illustration of the kind of white privilege that most of us never notice. But once you do, you can't unsee it 🤔

Full disclosure: I've been taking GLP-1s for nearly two years. I'm also a pet lover. But this is refuckingdiculous 🧐

This is the first time I've seen Tr*mp's official portrait in the wild. The fact that the American flag is nowhere to be seen in the image tells you everything you need to know 🧐

As an atheist, I approve this message 👍

Even though I am now (thankfully) retired from federal service, my girlfriend and many of my friends are still suffering. It's heartbreaking and wrong on so many levels. I have so much anger and hatred in my heart for the entire Krasnov regime 🤬

The oldest motto of the United States is E PLURIBUS UNUM: “Out of Many, One.”

The Founding Fathers codified the idea that diversity is our strength. This idea defines who we are as a nation.

So why are so many “originalists“ determined to throw that away? 🤯🧐

‘E pluribus unum’ is a Latin phrase that translates to ‘Out of many, one’ in English. It was the original unofficial motto of the United States.
