"Okay, enough with the heavy-handed political shit, guy. Talk about something else for a change."
"Okay, fine. Got any suggestions?"
"Sure. Don't you have an entire Drafts folder full of half-baked ideas and 'Isn't this cool?' links? Use some of them."
"But I'm only halfway through my non-stop month of posting — what if I run out?"
