Not All Dogs Are Feral

If a dog bites someone (it happens) we don't suddenly paint the picture that all dogs or even a significant percentage of dogs are feral.

I Believe... [Playing the Game Better]

...that the drooling MAGA crowd are a lot better at the cancel and boycott game than the Progressive Left.

Don’t be a quitter, be a failure.

Finishing a Book Sweats Like Nostalgia

It caused me to miss Las Vegas, miss the people I used to work with and for, miss the life I had way back then (a whole three years ago), miss the very vibe of a casino.

When an Ex Reaches Out

I was contacted by an ex the other day via email. Not an ex-girlfriend. Those remain, thankfully, quiet, likely steeped in their own lives thinking of me only by accident when their children or partner annoy them.

I Believe... [Stop Keeping Score]

...that for those keeping score, keeping score in anything other than sports or board games is the fucking problem.

Any time it is workers versus greed plus new technology, the workers lose. Every time.

“Neurodiversity” is the new “irreconcilable differences.”

Shaving the Pubic Hair of the Seventies

I submit that with this completely unnecessary reboot the nuding of the pubic area of the 1970's is complete.

Doing and Subverting Aren't Possible Simultaneously

Subversive marketing is just marketing, and woke capitalism and anti-woke capitalism are both just capitalism.

I Believe... [Childproofing Society]

...that smoothing over and correcting language is the childproofing of intellectual discourse.

I Like to Watch | Films that Reflect My Reflection

I am on a loop of looking into my past as if there is no future worth thinking about like a self-involved accident victim, only able to see and feel the scars of yesterday.

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of July 9, 2023

When having a conversation around socio-economic-political things, you don’t have to give historical context with every opinion you offer. It’s a conversation, not a lecture. And as a general rule of common decency, when having a conversation, don’t lecture, it makes you sound like an asshole and we won’t want to talk with you anymore.

Why We Can't Have Nice Things Online

Perhaps I’m out of practice or have lost my taste for it like a former drug addict revisiting a high and discovering it isn’t quite what he remembered.

I Believe... [Autonomy is a Singular Goal]

...that Himmel is completely, 100% correct when he states that marriage is a willingness to forgo autonomy. Given my almost relentless desire for autonomy, I should’ve known better…

Hate is a Cold Wind

And I am caught in another crossroads. I DO blend in with this crowd. I LOOK like one of them. I used to BE one of them. In their eyes, I AM one of them.
