During rush hour on cramped public transit, the polite thing to do is remove your backpack and hold it at your side. Also, stick a piece of gum in your mouth. None of us deserve your morning coffee or dry afternoon breath.

“AI expert” is a 2023 phrase that gives me the same feeling as “Social media expert” in 2009. As new as it is and as fast as it’s changing, how can you consider yourself or anyone else an expert? We should be mindful of the foreboding foreshadowing in front of us.
Another Strike at the Arts in America

A Case to be Made for a Pause
Here's the thing: the bill will always come due.
I Believe... [PodBlogger]

My happy place is a funeral. Puts things in perspective. At least I don’t have to dig a big hole in the rain.
Give THAT Guy a Gun!
Let’s give that guy a weapon designed to kill another human being. Great fucking idea.
