Evergreen advice as the horrors persist: If you hate everyone, have a snack. If you think everyone hates you, have a nap. If you hate yourself, have a shower.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Women shut abuse down and rescue other women, even when it means putting themselves in danger; men don’t want to inconvenience their monster friends.

Not all men? Ok, then just most men. They might not be rapists themselves, but they don’t stop their rapist buddies from raping, so forgive us if we assume every man is a bad man until proven otherwise. Go be lonelier, you disappointing assholes.

I’ve been watching Sugar. Which is not that great, but I am entertained. Still, while I have no problem accepting the aliens part, I cannot suspend disbelief enough to accept how Sugar finds a parking spot right in front of where he’s going. Every single time. In LA! This is too much.

How many times do you touch the stove before you realize you are now deformed and in constant pain? I mean, you “owned the libs” but now you are deformed from all the stove-touching. Did you win? Does your arm work? If not, are your new friends helping you with that?

People who pay pemiums but never see a doctor are the people who prop up the whole system. Healthy people who pay to stay that way. Cancel them and only sick people remain in your insurance pool. The stupid, it huuurts

So I’ve picked this weird ass time to take myself (slowly, so slowly) off the antidepressants they gave me during my cancer treatment 12 years ago. And fuck if I’m not crying watching random Ted Lasso. And fuck if I’m not happy about the crying. It’s weird, but it’s real. What’s next? Bring it!

I would very much like to have more money. But I would definitely not want to fight for more once I had enough. Like why would I be in constant battle to keep it, or get even more, when I could just be like, yeah, I Got Money Now. Why is enough not enough for some people? Gimme enough and I’m good.

Jesus isn’t even my boy! But if he started flipping these fucking tables, I’d be all in to help. We’d bond over the table flipping, maybe have a drink later after the flipping. Maybe we would share social media handles, whatever. But if someone like Jesus starts flipping tables, again, I am In!

Save it. Protect it. You may need to sacrifice one side of the bread, but this will remain delicious for several more hours. You can make an antipasto salad. Everything is groceries. Be one with the vinegar.

Elder abuse is the legal term. His handlers lie to him, and he magnifies the lie to an absurd extreme because that’s his nature. And here we are. But at least some dummies maybe aren’t that dumb anymore and they see the lies. Maybe.

My newly-employed recent college grad is living with me right now because housing costs Way Too Much right now. So I’ve been overhearing a lot. Let me tell you, the kids are furious and very politically aware. “Don’t trust anyone over 30” is Back Baby! Everything old is new again I guess.

The Streisand Effect is their only skill. My 22 year old has never even known Kraft existed before today but just gave me chapter and verse on the whole Ed Sheeran thing and how it led her to learn all about him and his Epstein connections and ICE planes and tell all her friends.

AI generated “writing” just reads like Ayn Rand. (This is in no way complimentary.) Like her work has been oversampled or something. I once wrote the Sparknotes for Atlas Shrugged, so I may be more sensitive to it than most. But man that’s some bad prose.

I had no plans to watch it. Didn’t even know about it. It would have gone right past me. Now I feel obligated to go look it up and watch it on YouTube, which is available to everyone regardless of streaming subscriptions. More great work from the Streisand Effect Team!
