So THAT's what has been making me sick! Not only am I infected, but I am highly contagious! I will have to turn off my television, and...oh no!! Not my cell phone!

Thank God there's a remedy as close as my Substack subscriptions. Thank you for this healthy dose of humor. I can feel the stress slipping away....

Yep. Just killed my subscription to The New York Times. I got tired of the bullshit. ODAAT.

Me too, especially when some of the writers are so pompous as they dispense it.

Doctor asks how many mouthfuls of bullshit I swallow a day. "Oh really only one or two a day, maybe three at parties." She says, well that's some right there!

I have heard that so many people are feeling just like you are this year that Santa and the Hannukah Elves and whoever else does the deliveries during this month, have been inundated with requests for the latest, most up to date, high tech BS Detectors available. Previous models are now obsolete. Hope new stock does not run out too soon. Happy Holiday Season to you and your family.

I saw a holiday sale promotion for the new iPhone.

How will we have pretty flowers without it?

I've always found that rabbit poop is far superior to bullshit as a fertilizer. Revived rose bushes I thought were dead ....

Brilliant as always.

That's some good quality shit right there.

Definitely a worthy new years resolution - especially the part of not causing so much bs.

For me bs and selfishness are interchangeable.

It was a pleasure to have found you this year and I only have two more of your books to read.

I am already curious which of the substack works will resurface in one of your next books.

Happy New Year from the UK!

Outstanding! Good for you! The problem is that they don't put labels on things. Between this and the microplastics you will have to be a hermit on the mountainside.

Did you really?!
