Cringiest modern phenomenon: an adult human with a hard-earned reputation prevaricating before a Senate confirmation committee about the outcome of the 2020 election. I'd almost prefer a genuinely gullible person whose mind honestly can't make contact with reality than the obsequious make-believe.

A couple of weeks ago, I found a box full of drawings, short stories, comics, book ideas, and poems from when I was in primary school and in my early teens. I used to be a happy dilettante and I was so productive as a child. What happened?!? I wish I could get my creativity back 🥲
