The REAL gateway drug.

I’ve literally taken a fork and eaten caramelized roasted garlic cloves out of the bulb. No joke.

The Infinite Tale Tales for everyone, made by anyone. Read stories, choose directions, and write new directions for others to enjoy.

Decided to bring back The Infinite Tale as a portfolio site. If you like stories that can go any direction or thought “what if this happened?!” then The Infinite Tale is worth looking at. 😊

Wow do we have different experiences here… 😄

And then it happened. With ferocious tearing and an inhuman glee, the toilet paper roll’s remains were left on the ground for all to see.

It sat still and waited for its fate. There was nowhere to go. Fate can’t be changed this close to realization. Fate was committed.

Their intensity filling it with the obvious, simply factual knowledge that it was the prey.

Suddenly sparkling eyes popped around the corner, mischievous and deadly. Those eyes… frightening not because they showed any evil or malice, but because they exuded a playful knowing that prey was about to be destroyed.

It had lived its life in constant fear, but had somehow thus far eluded destruction. Maybe it had been forgotten? Maybe it was no longer interesting? It didn’t care… all it knew is that it was okay. It wasn’t lying on the floor, spent, defenseless, a victim of the enemy. Yet.

People don't even use their brain power to think about what they could be giving up so that they don't have to use brain power. We have no idea what information that IoT dishwasher is hoovering from your network… but Yay! Convenience!

Called it.

Please at least say it’s from The Onion since the posted image doesn’t. The problem isn’t that it’s satire… by all means, go nuts. The problem is that in our current insanity it could, actually, tragically, be perceived as real. @georgetakei.bsky.social

I’m down for the satire, but next time please include (or reference in reposting from someone that doesn’t include) that this is from the onion and is therefore comedy. I’m all for it… but please just include the reference. And no, in our current INSANITY, it’s not “obvious” that this is satire.

Imagine: 2028 republican presidential ticket is Vance for president, Trump for VP, with an open commitment that on being elected Vance will resign. Trump can’t be ELECTED, but nothing constitutionally prevents a third term through other methods.

I’m in a repeating cycle of waking up at 6, so I’m tired at 9, so I wake up at 5:30, so I’m tired at 8:30, so I wake up at 5, wash, rinse, repeat. I swear I’m experiencing inverse jet lag.

People keep talking about what Trump is/will/can do while he’s in office… when I just realized how he’s setting the government up such that he can guarantee a landslide win for republicans going forward, possibly forever. Manipulating FEC, FBI, and courts could be an unstoppable combination.

We all want this.

It’s always comforting to sleep next to someone you love. #cat #cats

Humans are a reactive species. There is nothing surprising about this perspective.

If you had things sitting in your shopping cart, now is the time to hit buy, before we all have to pay the (over)price.

I think it’s fair to say that if someone has their name as “something” in numerous locations when they could use an abbreviated version should they choose (none of these platforms mandate that I use Christopher), one should assume the displayed name is the chosen name. Period.

Did you “correct” them? 😄

An artifact of it trying to be old school twitter-like and not fb-like… and it’s going to require the same kind of workarounds. Do what you need to do.

I tried quite a while ago. My brain couldn’t grok the crazy.
