Chicago based ex-academic who spends most of his time taking pictures of his dog. She is evil, and I love her. I’m never really sure if I’m doing things right, but I’m still here and still trying.

Well you see son, when a rabbit wants to get a gambling addict’s attention, he has no other option but to give him a big kiss.

The “Nothing Matters There Are No Consequences” group continue to be some of the dumbest people alive.

Don't even care for giardiniera, but I love that on the bottom left.

The people with the worst politics are often the people who are incapable of dealing with the emotional trials and tribulations of being an adult. Underneath so much of all this is someone with a seething rage at existence itself.

It would honestly be hilarious if Trump was the cause of the biggest increase of hybrid/electric vehicle purchases because of gas prices.

There is no secret chapter of Rawls where he opines on the proper distribution of burrito size behind the veil of ignorance. A different scholar, Niebuhr, points us in the right direction: We must simply “accept the things we cannot change”

To be fair, I’m half Iranian, so I’ve looked it up before. I just don’t always remember.

It’s been a couple months since I’ve looked this up but I think it’s like 80-90 million.

If they had taken my suggestion and chose Rafsanjani, no one would be confused. But no. Brand loyalty was important and Khameini was close enough they figured no one would notice the switch.

a close up of a red light that is lit up in the dark Alt: GIF of a siren because in many areas with potential tornados, local government will do a monthly test of the siren. In the places I’ve lived that does it, it’s on the first Tuesday of the month.

It’s the First Tuesday of the Month for all who celebrate

He once tried to convince me that meat is healthier than beans because meat has proteins. Nice kid. He’s lucky he’s still young.

Work with a 20 something kid who meat and rice is basically his diet. He is philosophically opposed to vegetables.

I think they are going to try and install, without sending in troops, the Shah’s son. Not saying it’s going to work, but I do think they’ll try it.

I’ll be honest. I’m just kind of numb today. I knew this was coming. I’ve known for decades a US-Iranian war was possible. But today, I’m just numb.

I’ll hate the 10 miles but for that money, I’ll make it work. Tacos I’ll pace myself. 24 beers though, not sure I could do that.

The best part of Fiasco is the quote he got from someone calling Paul Wolfowitz “crack smocking stupid”

There are plenty of things the government does poorly, but it in fact does do a lot of things really well. It drives me nuts when people are like “the government sucks at everything”

“I’m sorry you feel that way” is another one that gets me. Makes it about the feelings I have rather than the deeds of the person issuing the “apology”

Obviously it is a meth induced statement, but assuming the counterfactual of that being an accurate statement, I love how they use that as the justification for war. It’s as if, Iran will be helpless for a week and then a real threat after. So WAR NOW!!!!

As someone with a Greenland flag acts as one of the politics main characters today, I feel the need to remind people

Earlier in the clip she says “He’s gonna be the one to fight off the bad guys?”

What bad guys need to be fought off? I really don’t understand why conservatives are terrified of the world?

The world sucks and violence does happen, but jeez, it’s fine. The world is not The Purge.
