We’re in the Smoky Mountains, and last night a bear calmly ambled past us in the hot tub. I guess he wasn’t in the mood for lady soup

Project Architect: the upstream system will always send this extremely key piece of data.

Me: will they?

PA: yes.

Me: you trust them?

PA: YES.

Me: Do we want to have a default value in case they don't? Because things mess up without that.

PA: They will. Don't worry about it.

Me: Yeah, it's just...what if they don't send it?

Am I overly paranoid or have I just been doing this for too long?

I write erotic fiction that I hope turns people on, but me and my body and personal photos are not here for that. The sudden influx of followers I've had the last few days who are older and male and chiefly interact by sending lustful comments to younger women makes me uncomfortable.

More power to folks who get their kicks or money that way, but they're not me.

I'm very happy to talk kinky things with other kinksters on an equal footing, but don't want to be an object of lust myself.

Something’s been on my mind of late.

And it’s that the GOP is in a death spiral.

Since the shocking election result of 2016, we’ve watched the GOP underperform repeatedly in elections, losing the House in 2018, the White House and the Senate in 2020, and then failing to retake the Senate in 2022 in a “red wave” that never materialized.

One thing is clear to anyone looking at this objectively and dispassionately: Americans in the center—the independents and moderates who decide elections—have had enough of the extremists in the GOP.

I would be a pretty shit former president of a writers' organization if I did not offer solidarity to the screenwriters here. They were offered a patently bullshit deal by the studios and networks. They deserve better and now they're striking to get it. Good for them.

Watching my 16 yr old eat five trillion calories a day I've realised when you're 16 calories get added vertically. When you're over 50 they get added horizontally.
