An actual post by someone I used to respect on Facebook: “Joe Biden is really just a Republican.”

You really can’t fix stupid, can you?

Eddie Gallagher is murdering scum. 60 Minutes should be embarrassed.

Nothing to see here. Just two well-functioning, perfectly normal human beings.

Oh wow. The new Jason Isbell song is truly an anthem for the times. It’s great to see a”country” artist embracing the fight.

We don’t take requests, we won’t shut up and sing, tell the truth enough you’ll find it rhymes with everything

Of course, now comes the backlash.

So, after breakfast Saturday, Samantha and I were laying on the bed watching a video on her iPad she wanted to show me. After we finished, she got up and looked out the window and said “Daddy, it’s snowing.” I accused her of lying.

She wasn’t.

Yes, her “gloves” are my socks.

Sam to the doctor today:

I’m sick and it’s Friday so I get to have movie night with Dad tonight but I don’t get popcorn because my throat hurts and I can’t sleep in Dad’s bed tonight because I’m sick but that’s OK because Mommy doesn’t like it when I sleep in Dad’s bed anyway but she lives in a new house and I have a new room and I hope I get to go to the mall with Cole and jump tomorrow but I’m sick so I don’t know.

Four and a half years ago …

I was fortunate enough to see the remarkable Kelly Hogan in Atlanta last Friday night. She sounds as great in 2020 as the first time I saw her at the old Little Five Points Pub in 1990.

I can’t decide if the MLK tributes on the Apple and Google home pages are noble tributes to a noble man, or typically crass corporate shit.

Maybe it’s both.

Maybe I’m just too cynical.

That’s definitely true.

Samantha and the “class pet”, Rex the stuffed dinosaur. His “breath” was stinky so Samantha “brushed” his teeth.

If you’ve been fighting depression already, what could possibly be better than this?

The good news is that I have strep and not the flu.

Depression is a bitch. 2 out of every 3 days I’m barely functioning. I can pretend for my daughter, but that’s it. I’m falling behind at work. There’s so much to do around the house. I know I’ll be OK. This too will pass, right? But tonight? Tonight I’m struggling.

The ridiculous nature of the corruption in this article is far from shocking, but check out the picture at the top. That is not a real smile on Gov. Dunleavy’s face. Do you think he felt the need to shower after meeting Trump in person? I mean, they’re both crooks, but come on.

I was never much for personal nostalgia, and then I had a kid. How could I possibly be pining for a moment 4 years and 7 months ago during the work day?

If our perpetual wars aren’t the end of us, maybe it will be our rampant denial of science. On that note, Gwyneth Paltrow, who I think we can safely describe as evil, has her own show on Netflix now. And, they pulled Timothy Caulfield’s show. Fuck Netflix.

Scenes from a homemade obstacle course.

If you want to blame anything for our nation’s support of perpetual war, blame the ever-increasing fetishization of military service, courtesy of our country’s attempt to right the wrongs of the Vietnam War. We’re going to drag down the rest of the world with us too.

Craig Calcaterra on our “forever war” …

I’m not for it. I’m tired of it. I’m disgusted by it. I’m disillusioned by it. It’s impossibly sad and stupid. It’s a ride I want off of. It’s a nightmare from which I desperately wish I could wake …

Making sausage and peppers for Grandaddy.

For the first time this season, we had temperatures that made it feel like Autumn. No one was more excited than Samantha!

The more I read about Tim Cook’s relationship with the tangerine President, the less respect I have for him.

Tom Ley eviscerates Malcom Gladwell. I remain perpetually amazed that there are people who take Gladwell seriously. He’s a dumb person’s idea of what a “smart person” sounds like.

Would it be possible to pay Apple to make sure I never ever ever have to hear Maroon 5 on any of my devices? www.macrumors.com
