Word 365's grammar checker suggested I change "After this is done, you assholes are buying me a new one" to "After this is done, your assholes are buying me a new one."
Okay this one had me cracking up. #editorlife #amediting
I know! Like they couldn't find *any* other fucking examples that weren't so fucking offensive? Did we *need* those to understand its usage or would something else have been just fine? Seems like it should've been an easy answer.
Right?
A screenshot of the first two examples for a definition of "goddam" on Oxford English Dictionaries online. 1. 1861– Originally U.S. Used for emphasis, especially to express anger or frustration: accursed, damnable, wretched; = goddamned adj. A.1. 1861 You are nothing but a goddam Black n*****. Letter 14 February in H. Holzer, Dear Mr. Lincoln (1993) 341 1881 I spoke to the Democratic inspectors, and they said, ‘Hush your mouth, you Goddamn black son-of-a-bitch, or I'll put you in jail, or have it done.’ Testimony Contested Election Horatio Bisbee v. Jesse J. Finley (47th U.S. Congress 1st Sess. House of Representatives Misc. Doc. No. 11) 909
Seriously, OED?! You couldn't find ANY other examples to use?! And I'm guessing there are more...
Word's grammar checker is suggesting a change from "Nah period We got unlucky..." to "Nah period comma we got unlucky..."
More #WordGrammarChecker shenanigans
Word's grammar checker is suggesting a change from "I said" to "I spoke."
I found a source of many an editor's pet peeve. #WordGrammarCheck #amediting

@sashafury.blackskycomra.de Happy birthday!
VR developers: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make something similar to Supernatural: Unreal Fitness! We really need y'all to step up now! Meta has just fucked us (shocking, I know).
Someone forgot to turn smoothing off for James Cameron. #avatar
Finally figured out how to get them on without taking out the insole: nylons and a shoe horn! 😂
Happy holidays! On the left background there is a framed Christmas sign that says "Now I have a machine gun, ho-ho-ho" and I the right side background there is another framed Christmas sign that says "Yippee Ki-Yay." In front of those, on the left is a 3d printed block letters sign with the words " Die hard is a Christmas movie" layered in rows on top of each other alternating between red green and red to create a Christmas tree shape with a gold star on top. "Is" is in silver glitter. On the right side there is another that says "Die hard is NOT a Christmas movie" with "not" in silver foil. In the center is a 3d printed lithograph of John McClane in an air duct of Nakatomi Plaza with a lighter and a small 3d printed Nakatomi Plaza building on top of it. In the white border around the image on the bottom center is the name of if the family sharing this holiday message: the Lowrances.
I'm so excited! But 1. They're hard to put on. There are *instructions* online lol and 2. I just had foot surgery so I can't wear both! 🤣
YAAAAAAS!!!!

I guess it's not just recent history Trump refuses to learn from since we have the entire recorded history of the earth proving that you should never name stuff a golden anything and expect that you won't be taught an object lesson in humility by the universe. #goldenfleet #trumpisdelusional #hubris
A Squaredle game that shows "sauron" as not being an acceptable word.
Yet another missed opportunity, #Squaredle! #lotr could've at least had a fun pop up for it! Maybe a YOU SHALL NOT PASS! would've been fun...
Trump says on Truth Social: A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!
What the fuck is wrong with this man, and how does anyone justify supporting him?! I don't get it. Just baffling. They were murdered. By their son. JFC. It's not about YOU, you fucking asshat.
Great day #loscon! Had some fantastic discussions with attendees and fellow panelists about building character empathy and realism vs. literary license! Looking forward to tomorrow! #booksky #authorsky #editorsky #editorlife
Saw #RunningMan and it was fun. Until the end when they went full-on lazy and hid 20 minutes of the movie as if it would increase tension. Newsflash: it doesn't. #storytelling #editorlife
Looking forward to seeing people at #LosCon tomorrow! #editorlife #booksky #editorsky

If you believe those Eppstein files haven't suddenly been scrubbed clean, I might have some real estate for you.
You know, I feel like politics was shit before, but I think it REALLY nosedived when Russia assassinated Litvininko and no one batted an eye. It's like that was permission to just let the whole curtain behind them hiding the real assholery fall down around their feet.
TFW you have to quit working in draft view because the file has gotten too laggy. *sniff sniff* #editorlife #amediting
Kicking Eppstein out of Mar A Lago for being a pedo is NOT a flex! He did NOTHING to stop it. Didn't call the cops. Didn't report it. WTF is wrong with you, Leavitt?! I thought y'all were supposed to be all STOP ALL PEDOS?! WTF happened to that Pizzagate zealousness? Suddenly pedos aren't so bad?
Way to try to give me a heart attack, #dodgers!
