1.) Dreamt in fractals of meaning again, patterns of false binaries & every prismatic prison pattern broken thru gave way to another level of a different same. Going up thru freedom, down thru submission, all the same fractal in undulating form. I don’t do drugs, my dreams are drugs.

2.) Rodin saw a man lost in the torment of thought, naked atop a rock. I see a man lost in the torment of having just pooped a giant rock big enough to sit on. We’re both right.

3.) The Ten Writing Rules. (1.) Learn All The Rules. (2.) Know How Not To Break Them. (3.) Know When It Is Imperative To Break Them. (4.) Know How To Break Them Effectively. (5.) Break Them.

4.) Half my timeline put upon by fire, half my timeline put upon by ice. Both places where there’s always been those things but lately things have gotten worse every year. It’s a hell of a thing, this timeline, this timeline.

5.) When an airplane is born, its wings are still soft and pliable like a human baby’s skull, that’s why the momma plane can tolerate child birth.

6.) People who wish they had their own cult of personality tend to defend others with personality cults because, in the end, they don’t want the whole concept exposed in case some day they might get their shot at it.

7.) Here is the list of the many amazing things your zodiac sign says about you. (1.) A roughly thirty-day range that your birthday falls into.

8.) There aren’t enough stories about people who were raised to be The Chosen One but the prophecy was misinterpreted, some rando actually saved the day and then they have to figure out what to do with their life after that.

9.) If you scroll through People You Know on facebook long enough, you start seeing people who look mostly like people you’re already friends with and realize that after making a few thousand faces God just started copy-pasting out of laziness.

10.) My head-canon for why Troi lost her accent over the course of ST:TNG (other than lazy acting, of course) is that she slowly subconsciously telepathically absorbed the standard Federation “accent” from her comrades.

11.) In an unrealistic fantasy setting, when a female melee warrior wears a useless tin bikini as protection, can we call that “bawdy armor”?

12.) Things get confused in cultural transliteration. No one begrudges you smoking out of a science-fiction device, for example, but trying to make an identity out of VAPE LIFE is weird. It’s not a cultural movement, it’s getting your nic-fix outta R2D2s peter.

13.) Youtube: the kind of place where people who make six minute reviews of old video games for 4,000 viewers think it is appropriate to add a four minute gag reel of bloopers from said review onto the end.

14.) I wonder what “Vern’s” life is like since Ernest P Worrell died with Jim Varney. Dude’s probably really lonely & wishes that idiot would bug him occasionally. Or maybe Vern’s dead too & his hell is Ernest’s heaven simultaneously and he’s in CONSTANT torment now.

15.) The Wegman’s grocery chain only exists as a conspiracy to spread the heathen Midwestern reference to soda as “pop” further eastward. That’s why the place is so unprofitably good, they don’t care about money, only corrupting language.

16.) If you’re having trouble opening that pickle jar, maybe that’s just God reminding you that pickles are gross as hell and doing you a favour.

17.) Shoveling the front deck and stairs for the sake of the pets and the mail-lady, sure. That driveway? Hold your horses, driveway, I’ve got nowhere to be today.

18.) The older you get, the less of the abject horror of being single is about sex. It’s still a little about sex, it’ll always be a little about sex, but it’s more and more about wanting someone to snuggle up with and watch terrible old movies together.

19.) So basically Brexit was “let’s ruin our economy because racism!” and when the dust cleared, everyone was like “wait, we don’t want our economy ruined, we just want racism!”? Neat. Good luck over there.

20.) In a game of Dungeons and Dragons, you can legitimately beg the universe “Feats don’t fail me now!”

21.) I mean, you can always put “freelance priest” on your business card. They can’t stop you.

22.) And then there is of course Sledderman who is terrifying but only to snowmen.
