Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

Contemplated calling myself “The Real David Wellington” today and almost instantly I was like, “but am I?” and then fell into a complete existential spiral wondering if I actually exist at all.
Pretty sure I do. Will update if I learn otherwise.

A friendly reminder that my new collection MONUMENTS IN DARKNESS is available in paperback and e-book! I think it contains some of my very best short work, and I'm extremely proud. Its publication also marked my 25th anniversary as a professionally published author. I hope you'll give it a read!

I love the fact that the next generation’s ability to own homes, to work jobs they love, to retire before they die all depends on a bunch of investors as skittish as small forest mammals.

Putting aside how criminally awful it would be to flood the book market with AI slop (I know, it’s already happening)…
Why would you pay anyone to teach you how? Why not just ask AI how it’s done? Hell, just tell AI to do it for you. I’m sure nothing could go wrong.

Imagine paying for the $250 (per MONTH) subscription for a line of code that just feeds your dumb idea into Gemini. Google will do it for free, even if you ask it not to!
Oh she’s a scam artist, got it! Every single time you hear about a person offering coaching in one of these pieces they’re just a scammer and the media falls for it

Every two years a city gets together to spend months—and millions—putting on the most spectacular show in the world to celebrate global peace.
NBC commentators then make inane comments. “Those paint tubes are red, blue, and yellow.” They sure are, Bob!
