I wish wearing WWE-style championship belts would become a fashion trend. That would be so cool.

Quincy thinks he's on easy street with the ladies when he takes his kingdom's throne, but is he willing to sacrifice his authenticity to find a queen?

"Fail to understand others, and you'll forever stand under them."
I don't know what that means, but it sounds like something someone should have said by now, so I went ahead and said it.

It's weird how making one little mistake like forgetting to put pants on can throw your whole day off.

I much prefer stories with happy endings. If you want a story with a sad ending, just live your life.

Currently evaluating my life and can't decide if it's more like the episode of The Simpsons where Sideshow Bob steps on the rakes, or the one where he falls from the dam and crotches himself on the pipe.

I'm not concerned that AI will eventually sound so "human" that it will replace human writers. I'm much more worried about human writers sounding like machines because they write about what's trending instead of what's in their souls.

reading a book about how to be an effective father and literally nowhere in this book does it describe how to walk behind a sofa as if you are going down a flight of stairs

If your girlfriend says her favourite food is hot chocolate, do not tell her that hot chocolate is actually a beverage. Doing so will ruin your whole day.

Just finished reading @richycraven.bsky.social's "Spirit Level." Perfect balance between light humor and some deep/emotional parts. The scene where Danny visits Ian had me laughing and, well, not crying exactly, but it had me thinking, "Ah, fuck, this is sad."
