i really like the picture the bot chose for this
i mean i can’t say that’s… untrue…
a valuable inspirational quote
and my personal favorite:
though i do have to admit that the best thing about this generator is the revelation that comes at the end (when you’ve spent like 20 minutes clicking), that the inspirobot is a company of insectoid aliens that cares deeply for you.

The local animal shelter has a $5 bunny adoption sign out front right now... I warned the wife that we might have a dozen buns hopping around when she gets back from her work trip.
The 9 to 5 work schedule is changing. In modern life, there are people who work night shifts, and people who need to study all night. Emergency room workers can be called on at all hours. People with new businesses may have to stay up at night, too. Some just prefer to work at night.
The New Normalis a lighthearted project which aims to make the working environment more playful. No matter where people work, they are often in a confined and isolated space that can feel stressful. This project provides soothing and energizing elements to make any work space more comfortable.
The objects of The New Normal include a removable backrest that also functions as a blanket, a moveable recorder pillow, and a foot ramp to allow leg movement.
i just remembered this story my dad told me one time, about abraham lincoln
a guy challenged abe to a duel once. lincoln very much did not want to duel this cat.
so lincoln agreed, on the condition he got to choose the weapon. maybe that was how it generally went in 19th century dueling culture, i have no idea.
the guy said “sure”
lincoln said, “ok. broadswords.”
so that poor would-be opponent shows up on the day of the would-be duel, and abe is outside, doing, like, some quick sword warmups.
now, back in lincoln’s day, he was, as any american schoolchild can tell you, the tallest fucking dude on the entire fucking planet, so please try to even imagine the majestic reach of this stovepiped giant’s condor-like wingspan.
(wingspan plus broadsword.)
abe’s enemy takes one look at this, does some quick mental calculations on his own arm length (mortal, human), turns around and goes home.
the best part is that, as i remember it, lincoln of course had no fucking idea how to swordfight. it was the 1800s. we had guns. he’d just been, like, waving this giant sword around haphazardly, whacking at tree limbs, making his arms look as big as possible because he knew this joker could see him, and he knew that guy didn’t know that lincoln didn’t know what the hell to do with a broadsword.
anyway, i don’t actually know if that story is true or not but i really really hope it is. i would love to know that the president who defeated the confederacy was also fucking hilarious.
Using herself as a case study, first year graphic storyteller Lotte Djørup explains social anxiety lucidly and elegantly in her very first comic done at the course!
Although, to be honest, that's probably a palm tree and palms have wood that has evolved to be soft and flexible rather than sturdy. Still it's a reminder of why weathermen shouldn't stand outdoors for their photo-op reports.
1% problems... The former owner of a small company that we bought purchased a French Castle after retiring. Our president still visits him once in a while and always has interesting stories about what they have to do to maintain the place. Almost everything requires getting permission from the local town -- they weren't allowed to pave/brick/etc the driveway because dirt was the only thing used at the time. They had to have a highway construction company come in when they wanted to add a bathroom because they needed a hole "drilled" through a 12 foot thick wall.
I recently did a Garak run of DS9 where I only watch the Garak episodes, and my friend Rebecca asked me to put together a list of the best ones for her to watch (with a special emphasis on the Garak/Bashir ship). So, here are my picks! What are your favorite Garak episodes?
I had no idea that smoking was an art form. When I first saw the back cover, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, but my first thought wasn’t pipes. This book is one of those pro-smoking salutes to tobacco in all its forms.
