Just drove through downtown Denver. Lot of unsavory figures roaming the streets. Any one of them could’ve been @jarvis_best. I was so scared.
Sure you can spend 150.00 on a cheap hotel for the night, or you could hide away in a Bucee’s bathroom stall for free and no one will know you’re there.
Self-insertion, in every degree and form, is a plague of modern writing.
Zoe Kazan, the writer of the upcoming Netflix show "East of Eden" says that Steinbeck is "riffing on" the story of Adam and Eve.
Wrong story, honey. The phrase “East of Eden” comes from Genesis 4, which is the story of Cain and Abel. You know, like Cal and Aron.
You would know who these people were if you’d read the book.
I need this East Oregon/West Idaho/North Utah terrain to make sense, pls. These treeless hills are more wrinkly than your grandma’s face.
So what? The dispensation of justice is more than just “hey, what do you think?”
The biggest new revelation here: while he was testifying at the trial, and prosecutors gratuitously decided to play his anguished 911 tape for all to hear, Patrick Clancy says he had "a massive traumatic panic attack" and was put in an ambulance. He was offered medication, but declined, as he wanted to finish testifying and get it over with.
Beyond that, he continues to maintain what he's always maintained since January 2023: that he does not believe Lindsay is criminally responsible for the death of their three children.
Weird how so many tough guys out there remain so angrily insistent about ignoring or denigrating the perspective of the one guy whose kids were actually killed.

Here's a grest concept, opposing war as a matter of moral princple is an essential component of loving your country...
I’m forced to share a country with these people. Between Somali scammers and brain-rotted wino moms it’s a hard choice.
It’s The Dresden Files book #2. This time it’s werewolves as the magical issue. Bit more pulp than the first book, but still highly entertaining. Lots of great action. Great series to relax to thus far.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.
