Lemmy's Writing Regimen: Write 100 vignettes (~500 words). Write two people falling in love. Write two people falling out. Set a story in hell. Set a story in heaven. Set a story at the DMV. Write in every genre. Write a story using only dialogue. Write a story using none. Write

Yeah, cause there sure as hell is gonna be a fucking Phd who dedicates their weekend to it.

I aspire to one day reach Lil Wayne's level of disconnect from my art. So detached I forget I ever wrote it.

DUDE WHAT THE FUCK I WAS FUCKING JOKING HOLY SHIT x.com/Mrmiked42/stat…

I have to say it shouldn’t really be a story or that shocking that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican. Half the country is, and you’ve been operating under the delusion that not even one (1) celebrity is?

My hot take is that it’s less that ChatGPT is “forcing” psychotic breaks and more that most people really don’t have any media literacy, like at all. The population is vulnerable because it’s stupid. I’m sorry, I feel bad typing that but it is what it is.

Chicken and egg. People would support paying a civil service well if we thought it would be effective and meritocratic. But nobody thinks it would be, so nobody wants to pay them well.

Always weird to read a professionally published book and go 'nah, if this was a free serial, I'd have dropped it by now'.

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Congressman, you understand the US doctor training pipeline is (1) way too long and (2) throttled by law, right? Law that you, as a congressman, can change? It's not a law of physics that "we cannot train American Doctors fast enough," it's a law of the United States.

Commiting crimes against the concept of wine (Fermenting Dr Pepper).

Well, part of the mismatch here is that, you know, I genuinely like the United States. I don’t think of everywhere that isn’t New York or San Francisco as some car-centric fast food hellscape full of disgusting morons. I like this country. I think most people in human history
