My wife asked me to draw her a bath

If money could buy happiness, Elon Musk wouldn't be such an asshole.

My writing setup. Simple and without distractions, and I can take it anywhere.

@jameshands yessssss!

A better metaphor for the state of our planet does not exist.

"The car's on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel."

@anniecoughlin I think it says that you're not happy with society and what life has become.

Love meeting zombie fans!

Whenever I get bummed out that society is collapsing, I remeber that I want everyone to get eaten by zombie, destruction of human civilization as we know it, and for the earth to be returned to the animals.

I'll settle for 2/3.

@DBC thats good to know. My wife has an iphone and loses it everytime she sets it down.

@ianthealy I dont think I could do that. I would obsessively read and rewrite my book forever and never finish it.

I'm not sure which one of us has the mental illness. 🤣

@DBC we have the technology, why isn't this a thing?

@ianthealy I think it was Stephen King talking about a more prolific writer than him, I forget who.

He said something like, "If he starts his day and all thats left to write is 'The End', he opens a new file and starts the next book."

@h2oaddicted love it. I think I need to get some trail cams.

@mickcarty hahaha, yes. I'm starting to get this part.

Writing is going well. My characters have come to life and taken over the story. New twists and turns keep popping up that I never planned for and I'm just enjoying the ride they're taking me on.

@JeSsA also, the tape measure one. Lol! Pretty sure its centimeters and starts at 3. Reminds me of every dude I went to highschool with.

@JeSsA looks corny to me.

@FinnegansWhacked thats true among us smart people who know the difference.

Its a fine line; I'm learning about comedy, that not everyone understands that the joke is the absurdity of what is said, not the content of what is said.

Ever watch a smart comedy with someone who doesn't get it? The joke being layers deep, but they laugh at the funny face the person on screen is making, or the way a word was said? Like that, but in real life, and 70% of people don't get it.

You want to win the war?
Know what you're fighting for.

@ianmhill for sure, but its important that in doing so, we don't give them more ammunition.

@miinx I think its important at this stage; to watch the billionaires that replace jobs with Ai. Make sure that those savings are passed on to the consumer, and not just used to line the pockets of the already filthy rich.

That sounds difficult to do, but its important to remember, that while mega corps can use it to cut costs, so can the average person. It can fill a void that was unaffordable to the average person. It can even be used to bring the change to society that we need.
