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.

The Beginning?

How did we get here? Was it a Supreme Being or an intelligence which created the universe with all of its rules?

Maybe both?

Comedy is Not Harder, It's Just as Hard as It Ever Was

The best comedians joke about the realities we refuse to see and make us laugh. That's no different than any other time.

Cheez Slyces

It seemed like a good idea—or maybe a funny idea—at the time but this was going sideways fast.

Why Your Knee Hurting Isn't Indicative of Progress

The world seems to be doing better all the time. Sure, there are things we can work on but it looks like what we've been doing so far is working.

Being offended is a choice. Just like it’s a choice to live your unrealistic truth. It’s okay to live in a fantasy world of discomfort but why would you want to? And don’t be surprised if no one fun wants to join you there.

The Breakfast Club of Social Media

Social media isn't wildly different than high school in the 80's—it's just faster with a ridiculously large student body to navigate.

Prepping for the Great Resignation

The choice is yours. Either learn to work remotely efficiently and prioritize your finite willpower or go back to dealing with angry, stupid, entitled people looking for you to placate their rage at someone else. For peanuts.

I Was a Teenage Space Billionaire

I built a city in the desert.
Lithium and plastic and dry cellulose.
Autonomous flying cars.
Drone-delivered impossible everything,
Nourishing our body-positive bodies.
Streaming, bingeable Obama-produced documentaries
In every remote classroom.

There was even a monorail.
