Allowing billionaires to exist isn’t even good for the billionaires. Having that much money creates so much distance from their fellow people that they shrivel into spiritually-impoverished, emotionally-desolate wastelands of human thought.

Because of the structure of my door, the best way to hang a wreath is a double-sided wreath hanger. Which means I can hang a dried flower wreath indoors.

The best part of writing, and especially writing horror, is when I get to take the person I made up and give them the absolute godawful worst day on the fucking planet.
And then I get to do it again tomorrow!

I’m actually kind of mad at how much running has improved my health markers. Like what the fuck do you mean ’jog a mile like maybe three times a week’ has THAT big of an impact???

Entirely too many people who believe "people can just work with their hands" have never done any kind of actual manual labor in their lives or maybe remember a summer job from their youth with rosy retrospection and don't realize how different that labor is in your 40s and older.
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.
(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

This would be way more funny if this wasn't so devastating on the devs who are having to suffer the excruciating psychic damage of dealing this garbage day in and out, not to mention the people who were already laid off for it.

Writing is great. You invent a little guy, you can even make him a nice little guy. And then you shake him as hard as physically possible and give him the worst day of his life. Love it.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.
But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.
This is Ambrosia Sky.

I've never had any luck defeating my self-doubt. That asshole never shuts up.
So instead I try to see it as an encouragement. If I'm 'never going to be good enough', if I'm 'going to fail anyways', why put it off? I can just do it now. More often than not, I surprise myself.

My totally unsolicited and unsupported-by-evidence belief is that a lot of people have so wholly divorced themselves from the experience of 'making something real and tangible with your own two hands (or appendages of choice)' that it's actually toxic to their minds.
