Writer. Editor. People say I have odd interests. Not odd so much as diverse. The universe is fascinating...why not poke around in it as much as you can?

Breaking news: A Ford dealership in Kansas can't release a sold F-250 because a robin moved in first.

An employee at the dealership located outside Kansas City noticed a robin building a nest on the tire of a brand new F-250 that was already sold. The robin laid four eggs and successfully hatched them.

The truck is now stuck on the lot until the chicks fledge, because the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 makes it illegal to disturb an active nest of any native bird in the United States.

The buyer has been a good sport. The dealership called it the only F-250 in America currently protected under federal law.

Oh, so the cat can run and hide when company visits, but when I do it, it's "rude" and "anti-social."

I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.

[The Oxford Comma @RealOxfordComma]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a list in possession of three or more items is in want of an Oxford comma.

Maybe people don’t memorize phone numbers anymore because that part of the brain is too overloaded with passwords.

Something interesting you might not have realized:

A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable...

But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.

-SUSpect/susPECT
-CONflict/conFLICT
-PROtest/proTEST
-CONvert/conVERT

Yeah...changed the empty ink cartridges in my printer. Had to delete from my printer queue and reinstall to get it to work again.

My goodness — “Sentator” really???

[Robin Allen @RobinLLAllen]

I always say "proofread EVERYTHING," but I'd really think that was a given on a document going to the Supreme Court. Ugh.

[Jason Miyares @JasonMiyaresVA]

First, if you are going to appeal to SCOTUS maybe don’t misspell Virginia????

Someone said “I’m an adult in the way a tomato is a fruit” and I felt that on a spiritual level.

Florida Man doesn’t ask for permission.
He just straps on a jet-propelled hoverboard, hooks up his dog to a jet ski, and goes for a Sunday cruise like it’s completely normal.

This is why the rest of the country will never understand us.
Peak Florida. Never change.
