@ScottSoCal Lol -- fair enough.

I think it's okay, (even good), to be wrong about one thing.

Today in my newsfeed there are all kinds of articles telling me that Brandon Sanderson is actually awesome and that Wired article about him is super mean.

Except, it's really not. Read anything Foster-Wallace has written about anyone, ever.

To imagine that this is some kind of hit piece or takedown is, frankly, weird and, honestly, stupid.

The Wired article is what happens when a good, but powerless, writer is given the impossible assignment of making rich-guy nerd crap look cool.

My god, internet defenders of literally everything bad, take a weekend to read "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" before filling space with yet more nonsense about poor, beleaguered, B. Sanderson.

The Wired article is funny. It's intended to be funny. It's about a millionaire writer who cranks out crap for people who like to eat crap.

That's okay. Sometimes we like to eat crap, especially in America. It doesn't need to be defended.

If your $dayjob is at all related to security, I'd love to hear from you about what type of mobile phone you currently rely on.

I've never really seen a data-based breakdown of the answer to this question, and I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!

First work with the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic advocate student in our school, and he created a great poster for our showcase on Thursday. #Diversifying #DecolonisingTheCurriculum #BLMatHerts

My neighbors got a new hammock and I think I offended them by complimenting them on their new sex swing.

Is there any animal photos of mine that you would like to see re-edited for one reason or another?

Sound off in the comments and I will do my best to do them all.

Monday gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon word Mōnandæg, meaning ‘For fuck’s sake, not this shit again.’

Special romantic dinner we do around this time of the year.

I kind of miss when I had to defrag the computer and I could just watch the little animation of how it was all getting less fragmented and pretend that my life was also coming together like that.

Can't tell if Dunkin' Donuts has a new Breaking Bad inspired coffee or if they're trying to poison me.

@ScottSoCal Not really at the hijinks level... More like a big, uncaffeinated clusterfuck.

@TonyStark If we elect enough Democrats so they can get things done, they do.

It's called "artistic license"
