Grabbing random softcovers from used book stores is really an excellent way to appreciate the disposable low-quality slop of previous generations. Very culturally educational to know sci fi writers in the 1970s were also letting their resentments and Opinions on the state of contemporary academia bleed through into their work embarrassingly transparently.

Had a coworker tell me they hadn’t texted once because of the time. “I didn’t want to wake you.”

I stared at them through the dawning realization that they lived in a world where that was remotely possible. “My phone is on do not disturb if I’m sleeping. Why would I let random texts wake me up? My sleep is important.”

Equally baffled they replied, “What if someone at work needs you?”

“I am not a manager. No one at work will ever need me badly enough to interrupt my sleep. If I’m not working then there’s no reason to be calling me.”

“Not even if you need to cover?”

I laughed, “I don’t need to cover. They could ask me to cover but good luck getting ahold of me if I’m sleeping.”

They looked distressed at this idea.

To console them I added, “I have important people like my mom and my wife set to override. If they call they get through no matter what.”

There was a small pause before they asked, “You can do that…?”

So friendly reminder. Become unreachable. Work does not need you that badly. Sleep.

Green Day’s lyric “I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall/Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall” reads to me as a modern version of Simon and Garfunkel’s lyric “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls/and tenement halls.” In this essay I will

A year or so ago I went to wood carving club with a bruised eye from my dog slamming his nose into my eyesocket and like every old lady there pulled me aside at some point to ask if my partner hit me here are some of the solutions they had in case he did.

-Replacing his vitimens with poision

- getting her brother to invite him out onto his boat and then killing him and dumping him in the ocean and saying he got drunk and fell off.

- get tboned with him in the passenger seat and then once he was in the hospital theres all kinds of easy ways to kill him like not washing my hands after a poop and then touching his wound casually.

-replacing his drink of choice with moonshine!?

- take him on a hike thats locally notorious for a rapid otter attacking hikers and once he had rabies I could just kill him any ol way and say self defense.

-One lady just cheerfully informed me she had a gun and only a few years left anyway

repeat after me once again folks. just because the banana was good does not mean you should keep going and eat the peel too. at some point you have to accept that you can't recapture the lightning in the bottle and no sequel or spinoff or other new installment of that thing you like is gonna make you feel the way you did when it was brand new, especially if it was something from a very formative time in your life. you have to ask the waiter for the check eventually

It's literally not unreasonable to implement some kind of limit on how many homes someone can own. I'm not saying you should only be allowed to own one house I just see no reason why somebody needs to own more than like 4, and I think even that's super generous.
