I write things, and some people like them. I think that's cool. Mostly found on theDieline.com. Bylines on PRINT and The Fresh Toast. I was going to revive my MySpace page, but I guess the party's here now?

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from β€œcivil war” and β€œblood in the streets” to β€œwow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

you have to admit it’s funny that they cared about the Cracker Barrel logo as long if not longer than this

First time seeing the term "Broligarchs" and I love it!

Perfect. Zero notes.

There’s something so festive and wonderful about β€œlet’s revisit this in January” season.

Yes, I also ate that avocado in the background that came from one of my trees. That’s how we roll in Cali.

So I’m a vegetarian. I came into that living a life full of meat. I’m sorry if one month a year I give in. And when that happens, I turn to the Colonel. That is some good eating and you can fight me IRL

"Luigi Mangione" is not hard to spell.

Then again, I played a lot of Nintendo and "King of the Hill" is one of favorite TV shows.

Winter sucks. I hate it. The days are short, it’s dark early, and it’s β€œcold.” SoCal cold isn’t as cold as Boston or NYC, but we’ll pitch a bitch when it gets to the mid 50s.

What sucks most about winter is that it really hinders my writing. It’s hard to be inspired when it’s cold and dark!

If you have a good mama, she’ll always defend you. Even if you’re a big PoS.

I don’t know how designers are now following here versus the other place.

But I know Pantone’s color of the year. They told all about it. I agreed to an embargo, so can’t say yet what it is. But I really dig it. It’s old school cool. Very Disco.

I also love β€œfixin’/fin to.” It articulates so much in a couple words.

My fave: when a cop says β€œkeep it up, and you fixin’ to go to jail.” Tells you all you know in that moment.

I really admire how American Southerners have adapted the English language.

For example: our language didn’t have a word for second person plural. Southerners came up β€œy’all.”

Perfect. Zero notes.

My mom’s lawyer asked her to sign some papers and said β€œno hay pedo” in her case.

I was surprised. I asked my mom if her attorney is Mexican, she said no. I told her than he hangs around Mexicans or learned Spanish from some b/c no lawyer tells a client β€œno hay pedo” unless they’re Mexican.

β€œThat golf cart has never seen a set of tail lights.”

β€œOK, Tio Dom”

I’m so ride or die with the Fast and Furious even if they have Dom racing a golf cart in Florida living a retirement community, I’m still in.

Another Thanksgiving convo, but between my dad and I.

β€œWe too old and our bodies too broken for revolution. Best I can do is keep writing. I ain’t built for wearing all black and a balaclava to run into the shit anymore.”

My mom at Thanksgiving: β€œTrump won’t do all that tariff stuff. Someone will stop him.”

Who will stop him and his tariffs is all I can say. The answer is no one.

It’s starting to sink in. Too late though.

My favorite nickname for the Cyber Truck is β€œDeplorean.” That’s very clever.

But β€œWankerpanzer” feels like a better descriptor. Clever, but less so. But seems more accurate.

chaya raichik, aka Libs of TikTok, has never served in uniform. Never took an oath to defend our constitution literally with her body.

Unless she’s thanking those who did, she can STFU.

Now that we’re in drinking season, a friendly reminder.

NEVER, EVER AGREE TO DO FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS. If you’re being asked to them, the cop has enough to arrest you anyway. FSTs are just evidence-gathering to hurt your case later.

Those tests are up to a cop’s interpretation and you will fail.

Parents, stop lying to your kids about Santa Claus. All you’re doing is raising cynical kids that might someday decide to write about this fucked up world like me.

You don’t want your kids following my path.

I was carrying my old ass Timbuk2 messenger bag when I ran into a friend and they asked my why I have the same bag all these years.

I said β€œbuy once, cry once.”

Sometimes I want a newer version, but this one is still good after a decade.
