Patrick McGoohan was a neat dude. If you like Avant Garde late 60s stuff, check out his BBC show, The Prisoner. It was many decades ahead of its time.

This is the moment I've been waiting for: week two of my Creative Writing MFA. I decided to enroll around the end of December. Since then, it's been paperwork, policies, reminders, and introductions. Now, the education begins.

This old apartment is drafty as hell, which I really start to notice when it's 3 degrees and windy outside.
Still, it's the least expensive place I could find, only requiring 55% of my take-home pay. 😵💫

If you don't believe in alchemy, allow me to show you how to transmute 40 cents of Grade D potatoes into an expensive butter delivery platform and a big hunk of single-use plastic.

I know some people who are like, "Oh, I don't eat ice cream in winter," and I'm like, "Are you INSANE!?"

Does the Bluesky development roadmap include any girlybot prevention measures? Non-existent ladies, I'm just not that into you.

Regarding Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, yes, it is copaganda, but it is also radically anti-surveillance, anti-corruption, and pro class consciousness. For me, the main rub is that geopolitics cause all the problems and the righteous robo-SWAT always cleans up the mess.

I was just thinking, "The name 'loquat' implies the existence of a hiquat," and what do you know, I was right.

Did you know? "Oligarch" is a secret phrase used by the Illuminati. It can mean "hair clog," "rich goal," or "Oh, garlic!" (mostly used by vampires.)

It's not just Trump--no autocrat is wise or just enough to rule a nation. That's why, despite all the argle-bargle involved, we choose democracy.
A librarian from Chicago, a firefighter from LA, an unhoused person from Boston, and every other citizen, including you, form one heck of a Voltron.

The average US Senator makes an annual salary of about $174,000, so let's pin minimum wage to that.

I spent the evening revising an old short story of mine for submission to one of my university's literary reviews. Who knows, maybe It'll be published! I need to start racking up accolades, starting with easier victories and working my way up.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

Silence, a stinging flail.

I've decided not to submit anything to Pro Writing Aid's contest. My odds of winning the $50,000 prize are virtually zero, and even if I did win, I don't think I'd feel good about my name being associated with their product.
