Generic drugs are like single ply. Sure, it's technically still toilet paper. But it certainly doesn't work as well.

Randomly heard "Danke Schoen" and wondered to myself, "Who sings this, Nancy Sinatra?"

And, folks? It is not Nancy Sinatra.

There's someone on here who follows me, but I'm pretty sure they have me muted.

And I'll occasionally respond to their posts, because I love their work.

But I know they'll never respond.

Whenever I started my job in 2022, they were, like, "Oh, you make karaoke? That's so interesting. We should do that for our Christmas party."

3 years later, nobody in the office is singing my "of Montreal" tracks.

Nothing is "black and white."

Except for ethically blocking everyone who liked this post.

That's fine.
When I was 37 I was dating a woman who was 19. The thing that inspired me to break things off was hearing Pearl Jam's "Alive" on the radio - a song released 9 years before her birth she had never heard . In that moment I realized things would never work.

I've made a collection of short stories about the "Torment Nexus."

Your short story has been selected for inclusion in the collection.

All we need is a commitment from you to order 50 copies.

They make great gifts.
