How am I supposed to have sword fights with my kids when wrapping paper tubes are so flimsy these days?

@doctorow you're on a blanket!

People in movies just don't solve all their problems with C4 like they used to.

@doctorow Looks just like my old Gyromite buddy!

@LordGrimdark Must be the finger thing.

Holy shit I'm Frodo in this metaphor?

@qikipedia Why you gotta call me out like that?

You likely overestimate how interesting you are to talk to, but underestimate how good you are at dancing.

Hot parenting tip: if you want to hear about your kid's day, but they aren't sharing, just tell them it's bedtime. Kids will tell you hours of stories if they think it's bedtime.

@samsanders The drama that will ensue when a 3rd friend pitches this screenplay. . . .

Who plays who in the movie version of Bad Art Friend?

@doctorow This picture immediately made me nostalgic for my university library and the hours I spent trawling through the thesis section for reference materials.

I just heard "A little bit of everything" by @dawestheband for the first time, and I had to google to see how I somehow missed such a great Warren Zevon song. Pleasantly surprised it wasn't a cover.

@imbarnes Your guess is probably correct, sir.

@DanPriceSeattle Only unpopular with those who never worked retail.

Unpopular opinion: "The customer is always right" is one of the most toxic phrases in business and needs to be retired forever.

@JasonIsbell This. So much this.

@FranklinProjUS Who can afford to?

What’s stopping you from running for office?

@pulmyears @ACNewman I'm waiting for my 70s, too!

@ACNewman Solipsistically, I read this as there’s still hope for me in the future.

@barelyfitz @doctorow Hey, your own entertainment and fulfillment counts as success, too!

"Breaking In," is my latest column for @locusmag; it's both the story of how I broke into science fiction, and an explanation of why there's so little to learn from that story. locusmag.com/2021/09/cory-d… 1/

@MikeDrucker @MountainDew The can on the right can't even contain the awesome.

The good people at @MountainDew sent me these cans of Mountain Dew Flamin' Hot. I'm going to drink some once they cool in the fridge. If this is my last post, I wanted to say I love you all.

@CitizenKent @hondanhon @doctorow Absolutely not true
