My “I did not use AI to write this” writing style is becoming increasingly unhinged, just an absolute horrorshow of fragments and run-ons, experimental punctuation, batshit neologisms, work emails like finnegans wake over here

i like to think i’m a pretty open minded person but one thing i will NEVER understand is welsh

kids are always asking me if people really used to look up someone in a phone book and then rip out the page to take with them, and i’m like yes stupid now please stop talking to me, your inane questions are like licking a 9-volt which is another thing we used to do

I wrote up a little bit more about how Prince took some inspiration from Redford & Streisand in "The Way We Were", and then how that led to a fun conversation with him about intellectual property. (There's a little gift for you at the bottom of this post, too.) www.anildash.com/2025/09/17/a...

I just went over to Storygraph and saw they had an AI-generated blurb for something I wrote? I don’t really know what it means but it sounds pretty juicy:

“For readers who crave gonzo noir soaked in sibling loyalty, grotesque whimsy, and the ache to protect the only family who ever betrayed you.”

I’ve made hundreds (thousands??) (no, just hundreds) of movie gifs over on tumblr but this is maybe my most popular one, which makes sense

Last night there was this huge bang outside and we were like !?!? and then we discovered a shoe print (Converse) on our garage door. We did some research and learned there’s a fad around here where kids will kick garage doors real hard and then run away. I just now stopped crying.

My wife was talking about some pottery she liked and now I wish there was a magazine called MODERN JUGGS

NO MORE LIES: When cellists wiggle their fingers it doesn’t actually do anything, they’re just trying to look like they’re shredding that solo, which they are not.

Summer’s almost over and I haven’t played even one game of badminton. If I don’t swat a shuttlecock soon I shall lose my mind. I must feel a manicured lawn beneath my tanned muscular feet and refresh myself with a gin rickey made by my father in law or I shall perish.

people keep asking me what my favorite crossword clue is so here you go, please stop asking

“Grandpa, what’s that old tattoo you got there”

“That is Calvin scornfully urinating upon a Snapple logo”

“Why for”

“I did not care for Snapple, child, I preferred a competing brand”

“Which un”

“That escapes me now, Fruitopia or some shit, tis lost to the mists of time”

if you start a sentence with “let’s face it” you should know that i will never face it EVER

I like when movie lawyers start to give their big closing argument while still sitting down. “Ladies and gentlemen” [doesn’t look up] “we’ve heard a lot of talk today from the prosecution” [tidies up papers] “or as I like to call it” [smug smile] “100% pure hogwash” [FINALLY stands up]

Bad news is my cargo shorts fell down at Trader Joe’s, good news is everyone got to see my Magic Eye tramp stamp that says “Lakini’s Juice”
