Fun fact: one year on @jococruise.bsky.social there was a dessert based on my infamous Valentine's Day burrito. Their version was actually terrific, made as it was by actual chefs.

When your out of state friend checks on you and voice to text ignores your heartfelt gratitude and instead focuses on a conversation you are having with your dog when she’s dancing at you.

I mean, feel free to unfollow me if I am insufficiently pure for you. Otherwise, unless one lives in a stick lean-to and drinks naught but pure rainwater, all any of us can do is choose what level of hypocrisy we live at and with. I wrote about this, in fact:

The Scalzi Burrito Scale is the name of my next band
Breakfast burrito of leftover meatloaf, green beans and carrots with added egg and cheese. Tame by @scalzi.com standards (2 out of 5 on the Scalzi Burrito Scale), but tasty nonetheless.

Using gen. A.I. to make slop imagery to go with any anti-fascist statement isn't any sort of flex as it was developed and promoted by the billionaires pushing fascism.
Just fucking stop using it.

Sandwich tonight: Peanut butter and strawberry jam and apricot preserves and blueberries and honey and dismembered Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. I don't want to say I'm currently experiencing a sugar rush, but my walls are transparent and I can see through time.

100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
