never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance

But "Vampire Money" is an absolute banger written specifically to make fun of all the other bands lining up to be on Twilight soundtracks while MCR turned down offers multiple times.

We read very different books. I thought the first half was hilarious, but it lulled me into a comfort of the absurdity and the banality that set up an absolutely devastating second half.

I think it's one of the greatest books I've ever read, but I don't think it was a comedy.

Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.

My company instituted "Wellbeing Days." They marked three days throughout the year on everyone's calendar and said you should avoid answering calls or attending meetings on those days, instead focusing on personal reflection and development.

... so I stayed home and focused on developing my Elden Ring skills.
