Yes? You rang?

@mylawyerfriend.bsky.social Hey Noah! Little communications issue on my end, can you drop me an email or give me a ring?

That's a subgenre called LitRPG and it's very popular. That is the genre my book "Mind Games" is in.

Absolutely love this pic my friend Wendy got of the very careful avoidance of Taylor Swift's trademarks on a coloring book.

Lemmie know if you want a hardware VPN recommendation.

All The Troubles Of The World.

A photo out a plane window with two plastic dinosaurs that looks like they're enjoying the view. Stolen from the Internet.

Fun travel tip: forced perspective and a few plastic dinosaurs can make all your travel photos more interesting.

Hiya!

Yep.

Are a lot of little holes better for drafting than fewer big holes? Boom, functionality and not the trademark kind.

That last one might be CLOSE. But nah.

Looking good, counselor!

“Don’t worry, children, I’ve planned ahead. We’re a mere three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light, and we’re vaporized. Much more fortunate than the millions who’ll wander sightless through the rubble.”

Oh, good God.

Yep. Porn could go down without social media, but if social media goes down, everything goes down.

(If you haven’t seen it, the movie never explains what started the war, much less who shot first.)

Trivia: The makers of “The Day After” requested some military assistance for the war scenes. The Army replied they’d be glad to help but it had to be clear in the movie the Soviets shot first. The producer replied, “Hooray for freedom of the press, and we’ll paint our own damn helicopters.”

That was a good ‘un.

In my county, physician's reports must be attached to a petition for guardianship when filing or they will kick back your filing.

In the county immediately south of me, the physician's report must be submitted as a separate document or they will kick back your filing.

I knew why.

In another life I knew the guy who made some of those latter-day Emmanuelle movies. He was a cool dude, and he knew how silly they were, but he said they were fun to make and he got paid.

And yes this was at one o’clock in the morning.

If you want to know to what extent kids can mess up your mind, I just helped one poop liquid into a cup and then portion out the poop - which smells like a hog manure lagoon, btw - into MULTIPLE specimen containers and I’m pretty sure I don’t even get paid for this.

Optimist: the cup is 1/2 full

Pessimist: the cup is 1/2 empty

Excel: the cup is January 2nd

Not in writing, my good man.

I gotta be honest, it wouldn't be hard to find as I believe it is the largest in history.

Oh, I could tell you a story.

A good time was had by all who deserved it unless you count the defendants, and I think at least a little there too.
