Telling me the truth, that there are millions of people worse off than I, does not make me feel better; it makes me feel worse

Capitalism may suck, but at least it lets everyone know exactly how much they are worth to their society

Say what you want about kids these days and their slang, but I LOVE the term β€œbrainrot.”

Was my genX ass ever this self-aware?

Is there a college-aged white man in America that isn’t an insufferable douchebag?

Has there ever been one?

The term coined is 'sadopopulism'. Another person put it:
'50% of the American people are happy to live under a bridge in a box cooking a rat on a stick, so long as their neighbors don't have a box, a rat or a stick.'

But when we got home, Lucy stuck to her story

She yelled at Rockso β€œBad Rockso! Bad dog pooped my pants!”

What relevance this story has to current events is anybody’s guess

One time when Lucy was around two, she pooped her pants in the car

I said β€œLucy, did you poop your pants!”

β€œNo Daddy,” said Lucy, β€œRockso did it”

β€œRockso pooped your pants?”

β€œYes Rockso pooped my pants”

Rockso is a dog and was not even in the car

I’ve never preached or given a homily, but I have often tried to teach a book to a room full of people that didn’t read it

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island

and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

Oh, absolutely. Why would we not be frantically saving up for our next ambulance ride?

I grew up a Jew in the south and was regularly told I was going to hell by smiling people who genuinely thought they were doing me a favor. They were helping me. They were giving me a chance.

If I had remained a high school teacher in 2003 instead of trying to do all this extra horseshit, I’d be retired right now
