i'm so sorry

I think of the cover of her book from time to time. Maybe the healthiest father / daughter dynamic of all time?

I am ready to be hurt again.

*existential dread voice* lets go brew crew please

I have been present for some brutal brewers postseason games but the prospect of this cubs series has filled me with a sense of dread I did not expect

its impressive how frequently you are persuaded by obviously stupid and wrong things!

woke up at 4:30 this morning after an anxiety dream that i'd shaved off one of my eyebrows & things have been pretty consistent from there

The one pro-ICE guy they found to interview downtown today being a suburbs-based casino marketer and erotica convention entrepreneur named Larry Goone might be the thing that tips me over into We're Living In A Bad Fic territory

i'd object somewhat to the underlying suggestion that vindictive abuse of prosecutorial discretion has somehow just started with Jim Comey and John Bolton, rather than being a key feature of our criminal justice system

sure he committed world historical atrocities but he was polite about the Star Wars book I wrote

Joe Flacco still getting it done out there

He really is orange some days

an exerpt from Analects 13.18 that states: The Duke of She said to Confucius, “Among my people there is one we call ‘Upright Gong.’ When his father stole a sheep, he reported him to the authorities.” Confucius replied, “Among my people, those who we consider ‘upright’ are different from this: fathers cover up for their sons, and sons cover up for their fathers. ‘Uprightness’ is to be found in this.”

Recent Events had me thinking about this passage and the extremely intense debate i remember it causing in a philosophy class i took ages ago.

also Upright Gong is a funny name

BLITZER: Now we’re getting reports that one of the bullet casings was engraved with a message saying that if you are reading the casing, you are gay. We must warn our viewers we’re about to show the photo and don’t know at this time whether the engraving is what makes you gay or if it just tells you

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

when you have to attend the pentagon 9/11 memorial after an all night goon sesh

My reaction is like when the united healthcare guy got shot, more surprised in retrospect it hasn’t already happened a few times by now

It’s not “good” like I’m certainly not saying it’s a good thing but

Mentos ad freeze frame ass

sad to see the truism that a competent prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich put to the test like this

Oh thank god

i understand why people are excited but old guys get weird bruises all the time and keep on ticking. joe brandon started bleeding out of his eye in the middle of a primary debate in 2019 and he made it through an entire term!

sobbing / puking all over myself i'm so upset that they changed the logo & interior design of cracker barrel

perfect encapuslation of this is all the moaning about the chintzy gold leafing all over the oval office. that kind of tacky bullshit could not possibly BE more american.

Bzzzt wrongo
