@attilakinali It's like the boss fight of murderous vegetables.

@jwz I don't know if I've ever been so eager for history to repeat itself.

The call is coming from inside the store.

@LuciaG I seem to start right before awful things happen. It looks like everything is going well on the surface, but tension is building, and the reader knows sooner or later it's going to snap. This isn't something I do on purpose, but it's how the stories come out. My readers seem to like it, so I guess I'll keep doing that.

#Antivaxers who claim to hold a compromise position, or that they can be persuaded by sufficient evidence, are always lying. They’re fanatics, every single one. You probably know that already, but it bears repeating.

They've cracked the case! Someone needs to fry for this. Better scramble to get it done.

Golly, this map looks familiar. Used to see it with a different color scheme, though.

"#DOGEshit" is my new favorite word for ... you know ... all this.

#Protip: next time you post #AI-generated #content, at least try to strip away the obvious cues such as "it sounds like you're referring to ..."

Sturgeon's Gun and Sturgeon's Razor are "90% of guns are crud" and "90% of razors are crud," respectively. But 100% of cats are the best cat in the whole wide world. I'm not sure exactly how this works; it must be some obscure result in quantum physics. I'll ask Schrödinger.
