Leftist. Lover of spite. Pro-chaos. Pro-generosity. Pro-choice. Pro-sandwich. All opinions are my own unless stolen from someone else, and then they are ours, comrade.

Fathers, teach your daughters how to field dress a deer, and not make it their whole personality.

My appliance repairman, who recently gave me the washing machine’s complete, unabridged history from the last 20 years, begs to differ.

This whole thing could be over in a day if Disney had the guts to do it.

I’m very excited for a future where theaters show five movies at the same time, frantically switching back and forth between films every ten minutes.

A bronze bust of footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo. This bust is famous for looking nothing like Ronaldo.

Imagine being a direct report to this person. Having your work edited and critiqued by someone fired for blatant ethical misconduct.

This goes to show that many of us are entirely too hard on ourselves. If Olivia here can not only keep working but be promoted, you can open that cupcake shop.

I have seen 100s of different public speakers, at all manner of events, at this point in my life & Ruby Bridges is easily top 3. Not just bc of her story, but her message and delivery is superb.
If you, or anyone you know, get a chance to see her speak, take it.
Ruby is incredible.

Recently, I finally read β€œFoundation” and, while I think the themes & prose are great, it felt very dated. I know it sounds odd but the cigar references always made me stop to think β€œWhy would future people have cigars on their desk?” I could definitely see a younger reader quickly losing interest.

Five, extremely, definitely, heterosexual men embrace one another in the end zone of Kyle Field, in College Station, Texas. They are the β€œYell Leaders” NOT CHEERLEADERS of the Texas A&M Aggies football team. Some people compare Aggie fandom to a cult for a wide variety of reasons that I will let you research on your own.

lol, like there isn’t a whole-ass, Texas-based cult, built around male cheerleaders. Sorry, β€œyell leaders.”
Please do not take offense Aggie fans.

This is what happens when a group of people is never held accountable for their actions. After decades of warnings, they’ve convinced themselves they’re untouchable. And since they’ve never faced consequences, their only move is to point the finger at someone else.

One of my best friends from college was obsessed with this band.
So much so he asked me to play the acoustic/rhythm parts at his wedding while he sang.
When I sat down to learn the melody/key changes/etc., I realized I already knew it despite never once playing the song on my own.
I almost cried.

Again I say, Fox News could operate from absolutely anywhere but they choose to work out of New York City because they like it there.

If you think Jesse Watters would live in Huntsville, Alabama to do his job, you’re not spinning on the same planet as the rest of us.

My wife, upon seeing me putting a bunch of weapons in a bag: β€œWhat are you doing?”

Me: β€œJust going to see someone about something.”

Wife: β€œIf this has something to do with hummingbirds again…..”

Me: β€œThey have feelings too, Sharon!!!”

I’m a firm believer that if player receives 97% of the BBWA votes, that the 3% of the writers who did not vote for the player should lose their vote.
And no excuses.
Overlooked a player? Then you are too careless to have a vote.

You get put on a list if you watch this.

Not sure what the list is for, but I’m sure you don’t want to be on it.

I just received the official French response that reeks of cigarettes and cognac:

β€œDear American Pig-dogs,

Putin wants to escalate and knows that a Ukrainian direct attack on a major Russian populous would give him the justification he needs.
Putin might be a dictator but it’s still easier to maneuver when you have the back of your people and a few of his citizens dead is a price he’s willing to pay.

Marc Andreesen, in public, stated the VERY BEST VC firms only β€œget it right” (back a successful startup) 2/10 times.
This implies that you, a regular person, with enough capital, could simply FLIP A COIN and 2x the success rate of the VERY BEST VC firms.
Flush these shits down the toilet already.
