Reality is Negotiable

Few of us bring the proper amount of leverage to the table for a good and proper bargaining session with reality, if we even have a sense that there’s a table to bring things to in the first place. Where is this table? How big is it? Are the chairs to scale? These are not important questions to ask or have answered, yet they are questions and, accordingly, they have answers.

Words in Webs

This isn’t about words on web sites, this is about the words they keep leaving me in the webs. It’s like that book but the words aren’t made of webs, they’re stuck in them. I do think the spiders are bringing them, they are responsible for placement. I saw them once, I was really quiet coming in and I shut the door like the quietest I ever did and they didn’t hear me that time but yeah it was spiders, I did see that.

Eyelids, for Reasons

It’s counter-intuitive but there are at least three (possibly four) reasons why human beings have eyelids, and none of them are the ones you’re thinking of right now. It’s important to know the real reasons because when they stop giving them out for free, they’re gonna feed you a whole line about “oh, no, those reasons, we fixed those, so you don’t need the eyelids anymore, it’s good.” I’m here to tell you it is not, it is not good.

Somebody Behind the Dresser

I heard you, I heard you whispering. You can come out now. How’d you get back there? How’d you get behind there? I can’t even fit and I am narrow, narrow like rails. I could lie next to the rails and you wouldn’t even see me except for my nose. Oh, this nose! This big old honker gives me away every time. Every time! I went to go get the surgery for no more nose but surgeon says it’s too strong, it wouldn’t let him.

Medicine Exists

You can get medicine at the store or from the store inside the store that is more medicine-coded than the rest of the store. Some of that medicine is much better than the medicine you get at the broader store but it’s really hard to tell with the creams. Cream comparison is challenging.

Truth to Power

They said these LEDs were supposed to last so much longer than the old lightbulbs but I don’t think that’s what’s happening. I don’t think that’s what’s happening at all.

The Good Burgertown,  Not the Bad One

January 24, 2026 | 8:00pm - 8:30pm

I’m going to the one where you can ask for extra pickles and they won’t forget the fries. It’s farther out than the other one, but I don’t have the time to circle back around

The Medicine-Coded Part of the Big Store

January 25, 2026 | 4:00pm - 2:30am

It's the only big one around, you know what I'm talking about. There's only like three big ones in this city and I'm talking about the one near me. Why does this have to be so difficult?

Behind the Dresser

January 26, 2026 | 3:00pm - 3:30pm

I know I can get back there, but I don't know how you're getting back there. You know who you are.

Tell me.
