Luther Siler’s Clever Halloween Name

Why?

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS????

Tonight's bloggery:

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

*rubs temples*

Damn it:

Removed the Walter Koenig repost as no other outlet is reporting anything. I’ll believe it when Takei announces it.

That LRT doesn’t appear to have hit the news yet so if I don’t see confirmation when I get out of the shower, I’ll delete.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

I fully understand that Shit Happens and that anything with millions of moving parts isn’t going to work perfectly all the time, but I’m kind of annoyed that I paid extra for faster shipping of a package that has been stuck in fucking Evansville for six days and I’m just SOL about that money.

I'm not gonna be over this for a minute. They describe saying THREE NICE THINGS ABOUT YOUR KID, on her BIRTHDAY, as a "near-impossible task." There aren't enough volcanoes or guillotines in the world. I need them ALL.

I’m trying to wrap my head around not only being such a shit parent that you need a slopbot to generate something nice about your kid, you’re such a shit parent that you *TELL PEOPLE YOU DID IT*, not realizing that any person with a remotely functioning soul would react with horror and disgust.

“Empathetic, creative and an animal lover” are three things that describe nearly every ten-year-old girl that I have ever met. I shouldn’t be surprised that the slopbot spit out some slop, but it would still have been lazy as hell even if someone who had met her kid had written it.

Am I reading this right? This monster needed an AI to give her three things that made HER OWN DAUGHTER special?

This is how stupid people are: this, acid rain and the millennium bug were all potentially huge problems that we *fixed*, and as a result they’re treated like funny jokes that only silly people were ever worried about.

That scene with Catherine Zeta-Jones and the laser beams, from the movie CATHERINE ZETA-JONES AND THE LASER BEAMS.

Republicans want to police what’s in your pants while Trump fights to keep Epstein records under wraps. Apparently, your private parts are everybody’s business, but the Epstein files aren’t. Had enough of this hypocrisy? Take that anger to the ballot box. 🗳️ #BlueWaveIn10Days

Never gonna stop being mad about this.

TIL that I didn't know what a hobby horse was.

Tonight's bloggery:

He's never gonna fucking die, guys. God isn't real but the devil sure as hell is.

I am developing an allergy to the word "girlies."

With all of the recent Goodreads updates (yay take stars! Quarter stars!) I still think they need to add a note space where you can say where you got a book recommendation from so I know which friend to text if I loved it or more importantly if I hated it lol

No it isn't. None of those things.

At the stage where I bought one from the TikTok shop and then recommended it to other people.

For any confused young people in the audience, Very Badly is how you're SUPPOSED to sing along. *raises hand*

I'm imagining the Monorail episode of The Simpsons, but unfathomably shittier.
