Tweet of the Day, This Articulates One Of My Life Goals edition.

Some day, I hope to infuriate a reviewer one-half as much as these four men infuriated this nameless The People writer.

Also: I have to go look up Gregory Corso now. If he can be in this mighty company and not be ashamed, there must be something of his work worthy of note.

Tweets of the Day, We Stand In The Presence Of Greatness edition.

Of a sort.

And the Mets are actually playing above .500 ball this year. …What sorcery is this?

Tweet of the Day, Behold The Depths Of My Utter Depravity edition.

I’d buy this.

Tweet of the Day, @elonmusk Gets To Brag About This edition.

I’ve said this before, but I don’t know if I’ve said this here. I understand why people dislike Elon Musk, and he does display all the classic signs of a mountebank or charlatan… save one: he actually produces the product.

All I had to do was add two extra steps where I manually create the embed on Twitter Publish, then put it in as HTML. Yay.

Oh, yeah, also: the people who did the Fyre Festival are stress-testing the aphorism “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

Tweet of the Day, Yeah, Just Figure Out Who You Want To Finish The Series After Martin Dies Of Old Age edition.

Am I being unkind? Perhaps. After all, my own BANSHEE BEACH is not yet finished. But, you know, that’s the novel I’m finishing next.

Tweet of the Day, NaNoWriMo Continues To Spiral Inward edition.

My relationship with NaNoWriMo has always been at arm’s-length. Every November, I sit down and try to get at least fifty thousand words out, because it’s great for getting me that crucial first draft. But I never got into that entire world. Good instincts, I suppose.

Tweet of the Day, I Do Not Say You Should Not Put On The Restored Bronze Age Jewelry edition.

I will say that if restored Bronze Age jewelry whispers to you that you should put it on, you should not do so; in fact, you should inform the relevant authorities forthwith. Don’t worry if this leads to increased mental health-related scrutiny. You’ll be quietly cleared once the person who does heed the whispers puts on the jewelry, and then does… whatever it was the jewelry wanted doing. Besides, a couple of days away from the Internet honestly sounds kind of restful, once the withdrawal symptoms subside.
