I Like to Watch | The Beatles Get Back (2021)

I won't likely sit through all eight hours again but I'm already dipping back in. It's like being in a room with four effortlessly talented musical legends and hoping they can get it together if only for the music's sake.

I Believe... [Enduring the Use of Masks]

...that the wave of organized groups smashing into high-end retail stores and stealing things would be just fine if they were wearing hashtag t-shirts aligning with a Utopian cause. At least they were wearing masks, though…

Finding Gratitude in a World That Only Wants Shame

"Well, Tim, I suppose that's your right to feel ashamed of yourself. It is not OK for you to decide that because you feel ashamed that everyone else has to feel it, too. Most of the class is thinking about what they are grateful for which isn't a terrible thing to do for one day a year."

I Believe... [Most Are NOT Outraged]

...that the unwritten purpose of most media today is to make you think that the views of 17 percent of the country are actually the views of 83 percent of the country. The media doesn’t want you informed, they want you outraged. You being informed doesn’t make them rich. You being outraged does.

I Believe... [When the Self Righteous Decide to Educate]

...that the impulse of both the hard left and hard right to ‘educate’ the rest of us is seeped in the arrogance of the self righteous. Also, genuinely boring. Show, don’t yell.

AI, Robot

Skynet is Meta. Skynet is also ZoomInfo. Aside from the luddites in the world, casually refusing to participate in the digital world at all, everyone is captive and tool of the coming human extinction.

I Like to Watch | Eternals (2021)

My wife asked me what my favorite moments were and I was struck dumb. I couldn't think of a single moment. "I loved the end credit scene?"

I Believe... [Dems Need a Press Agent]

...that Democrats have, in a year, cut child poverty in half, added 5.3 million jobs, managed the most ambitious vaccine rollout in the nation’s history, and passed a $1.2 trillion investment in the water, roads, bridges and broadband. Lead with that, piss ants.

No One is Teaching Critical Race Theory in Public Schools

Are public school teachers teaching children the complexities of systemic racism to children unable to critically parse things out or more thoroughly teaching about our country's racist past?
