The culture war is a lost cause—noble, but futile to expect compassion or dialogue in this climate. The best way to fight brain rot is with brain rot (it’s a vibe), alongside clear, actionable strategies for the left to help people build real wealth and regain power—w/o resorting to Pelosism.

Taplines: The Ice Age: Bros, Blogs, and Smirnoff Malt Beverages The late Aughts were an unhinged time for bro culture. “Entourage” was winning Emmys, Spike TV was still a major network, and “icing” was all the rage. The gag, codified as it was on slapdash websites...

The widespread normalization of going out in public in pajamas is weird and must be stopped.

my mom got a terrarium for Christmas. it rocks.

who’s coming over for muskrat in 2025?

Kennedy center tribute to the Grateful Dead rocked. I feel like we’re going to see some really cool cultural tributes to the dead with some of the talent on that stage in 2025 for however they’re celebrating Dead 60.

watching hozier on snl in a hotel room by liberty airport and thinking about becoming a guy who plays the tin whistle in socially awkward situations, as a bit.

flying in 2024:

need five extra minutes before pushing off after everyone is boarded so people with dogs can swap seats because their dogs don’t get along. 🙄

contemplating sending it to PHX to see Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

did the much-buzzed about Matū cheesesteak in Beverly Hills for lunch today. The Pennsylvanian in me is impressed! The sesame roll rocks and the spicy long hot be hitting. Fly back east for the holidays tomorrow. Go birds. 🦅

this has been a big year of personal discovery for me.

for example, I personally discovered Trader Joe’s Caesar salad dip and I’m sorta obsessed with it. It’s in in the TJ snacks all of fame.

lived in LA for seven years before finally having the world famous McCarthy Salad. iykyk.

My spidey senses can feel culture veering towards a big collective Mad Men rewatch this winter & I’m already preparing myself to be annoyed by all the surface-level takes and nuances that are going to be missed by a generation that glossed over it as appointment television when it originally aired.

itching to get the back on skis in January.

Have a vacation planned to Aspen / Snowmass with my brother and old ski / music buddies from growing up first week of Feb. But also wanna get a few more trips in before that for my legs. Have an Ikon pass. Thinking Utah, Palisades, or Mammoth, mid-week.
