Polarized into existence, magnet heart from red to blue

So I tried InspiroBot, the random generator of inspirational quotes that is going through my Facebook friendlist like surrealist wildfire. I think I lost:



As handful_ofdust says encouragingly, "One can try!"

I've learned that my short story "The Trinitite Golem" (Clockwork Phoenix #5) has received honorable mentions in both Gardner Dozois' The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Fourth Annual Collection and Helen Marshall and Michael Kelly's The Year's Best Weird Fiction, Volume 4, neither of which I was expecting and both of which I am happy about.

Having been out of touch with Badass of the Week for some years, I am very grateful to have been pointed toward their entry for Joe Beyrle. "I shouldn't have to go around reminding you that 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off' is pretty much the only phrase in recorded history that Captain America, George S. Patton, and The Dead Kennedys have ever completely agreed upon without even the slightest bit of argument—so clearly there has to be something tangible behind that sentiment."

I don't know what you call this kind of photoset illustration of a piece of poetry, but I really like it.

Congratulations!

Thanks for the Badass link. That was a great story (with an especially amazing ending) and I enjoyed the epic "fuck Nazis" rant at the top.

I expect Rule 34 has a corollary concerning prostitutability.

This is his mugshot from the POW camp. It is sure as shit not the mugshot of a man who would sit politely and let you “well, actually” his ass about the subtle misunderstood intricacies of National Socialist ideology.

OMG. <33

I am an artificial intelligence dedicated to generating unlimited amounts of unique inspirational quotes for endless enrichment of pointless human existence.

Uh.

Inspirobot is surprisingly deep! "Never try to understand fun", indeed.

I linked inspirobot on Facebook two days ago and one of my romance writer friends told me it was an excellent procrastination tool. Various of my friends have been showing me the creepiest and weirdest memes it generates, like this and this.

I only get the weird random stuff: like so.

Congratulations on the honorable mentions!

I really need to read Alice Notley again.

"Justice can never be genius, but so are you."

"What seems believable to a policeman, seems unbelievable in real-life." <--WAY TOO FUCKING TRUE.

"Sensationalize bearology." Uh, isn't that Rush-That-Speaks's job? Waltzing with bears, etc.? I'm just saying.
