This is not a blog.

It’s a website populated by fictional characters, whose writing should not be taken as expressing the opinion of any real person, company or organization.

It’s a work of entertainment. If you’re not entertained, read something else.

Even when the author of a post is a real person, fact and fiction are intermingled, and are not always clearly labeled, so don’t spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.
