Finding the 'Bad Apples' Just Got Easier

The question in this suggestion is, if it is a number of 'bad apples' spoiling the barrel, how do we identify them before they cause homicidal harm?

Looks like the pandemic has exposed them.

Commitment

The next part I'm not really sure of. I don't know if she was trying to drug me...or if one of the local neck beards was trying to drug her.

Has there ever been a king named Simon? Because that seems like a good name for a king since everyone must do what Simon says.

The Good Days - A Diary of Two Octobers

Light inscense and start a book. When he came home it was time for lip gloss and the first in a string of a thousand “I love yous.”

I Believe... [Sadism is Not a Virtue]

…that our pleasure in the pain of others—even those we deem deserve the pain—while common and instinctual, is really not a quality of which we should be proud. Sadism makes us all a bit less.

How ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ Revolutionized Horror Films

But why was The Silence of the Lambs so good? And how did it push the envelope for horror films?

I Like to Watch | 15 Minutes of Shame (HBOMax)

This is a genuine documentary, absent much of the one-sided propaganda so joyously celebrated in our culturally divided pre-Civil War stance.

Boner

When the pandemic hit, the world crashed. Lockdowns, quarantines, masks. Stay-at-home orders. It was nuts. It affected everyone's business, their mental health, and, most important, Ted's dick.

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of October 3, 2021

I’m not one to introduce holidays too early. Like, keep Halloween in October, thanksgiving in November, etc. but if the threat of texting Santa gets my kid to brush his teeth and get to bed without a fuss at any point in the year, I’m all for talking Christmas in March.

Our Rural Road

Usually, it was minor things at the mouth of the road. Collisions into the guardrail that mussed up a front fender and little else. The loud squeak of breaks and the cloud of white steam from burnt tire rubber and then maybe voices in dissent. Never the need for an ambulance.

Purging Distraction for the Good of Society

Let's face it. Zuckerberg started Facebook as a skeevy fucker who wanted to punish women who wouldn't give him the time of day by providing other skeevy fuckers the opportunity to rate the women online.

Why Keep Giving Facebook My Business?

I don’t know if I’ll leave it. But it’s been on my mind for a while now. Maybe I won’t go cold turkey, maybe I’ll start by deleting the app from my phone. Or maybe it’s best to pack up all my shit and walk right out. That’s the advice I’d give to someone else in an abusive relationship.

Keeping The Faith—Part 2

The massive Gothic structure appeared behind the trees as they drove up the quarter mile private roadway. Five stories tall and taking up half of the three acre property just south of the park, the mansion was an imposing sight.

I Believe... [Practicing Gratitude]

...that the first five minutes of every day should be spent reflecting on the things you are grateful for in your life. It reframes every day and reminds you that despite the hardships there is a balance.

The Ballerino

“Change the goddamn ballet recital just for you?” Her voice rose. She thrust her hip sideways and firmly planted a hand on it. “Johnny, that’s how you operate! Change it for me.” Melinda turned and walked out of the room. “Jesus Christ.” The door slammed behind her.
