Is anyone else as disappointed as I am that in the land of backstabbing is an art we no longer celebrate the Ides of March. Et tu, Padraig, et tu?

Novid, no more. 😟🤧🦠 4 years. Admittedly the worst part is actually being sick, but it does kind of suck to know I'd done so well.

Because every once in a while the plane pushes back but doesn't take off. They're not kidding when they suggest you should not take your Ambien until 10,000 ft. There's always an idiot on the tarmac ready to dump a load of boxes... No matter the conditionals or priors nothing has zero probability

the direct sale of cars from manufacturers to consumers is a tidy way to functionally eliminate this entire profession

Remember McCarthy was on the record last year saying he wanted to score fewer points... Now that the football really counts and matters for the season, he's keeping his promise to not light up the score board.

How much does Salesforce pay to make and run the Matthew McConaughey commercials. They're directed at senior corporate decision makers. How many of those in America are there versus the rest of us ordinary Jakes. How many other commercials are targeting super small subsets of decision makers???

BMW ad "When you arrive truly prepared, there's no need to show off." Showing off when you're unprepared is a pretty low reward, high risk situation. Okay folks, logically, there should be no showing off whatsoever according to BMW, I guess.

On racist dogs. One of the most memorable moments of my life was my first night in Durban South Africa. Jet lagged after 24 hours of travel from LA, I took a walk through the white, middle class, nice neighborhood I was staying in. There were dogs on the street and being walked.

I hate to say this, but if the Los Angeles Kings do not get at least 6 more points on this road trip, Todd McClellan will be fired. I like him, and he's done a great job with the team so far. But he's now in his Dennis Savard phase. But please, not Coach Q.

In a moment of great self enlightenment, I realized that just because Ambien and weed don't play nice together (anymore) doesn't mean I can't get stoned beyond belief and just fall asleep in my chair! And the worst part is it's -almost- safe, sane, and reasonable.

Apropos of nothing other than just having seen the word "counting" It made me feel really really old to explain that accountants used to be a much bigger deal than consultants The CPA was the way to the middle class from anywhere Then came the MBA's Not an accountant nor an MBA, I'm dismal

I'm really struggling to recover from last night's krunking. Should I consider switching to gooning? Will testing be involved? Knowledge? Blood? I'm fundamentally lazy so I want this to be easy. And of course I have no idea what I'm talking about.

58 year old white dude just had a realization. Fashion now includes your physical posture. Slouchy shoulders as a deliberate affectation. Hips askew regardless of the design. Unfortunately it's being used like brown shoes with blue suits. (Black or cordavan 🙂) Damn, I am way too fucking old🌞

There's something particularly annoying about crunching an unexpected cantaloupe seed. I can tolerate the odd watermelon seed or even a citrus pip. But I'm really hating on cantaloupe seeds.

T Rowe Price: "You can't buy great great conversations for moments that matter but you can invest in them." Please fucking explain that. The very fact that you're hoping to win my business means you think that I can in fact buy these things somehow with your help. It starts with a "buy order"!

*taps the sign* I don’t care how cringe it may seem to some of y’all, but partner/significant other was used by cishet allies to normalize gender neutral language and help protect us more It was the result of YEARS worth of queer advocation and activism

A tweet by “David AttenBruh🦇🐍” that says, “A lot of cishet people started saying “partner" in this context because queer folks advocated for that as a means of cover and protection and it's finally been becoming mainstream over the last 5 years. It is not appropriation, for the love of god.”

There are gay bars, Nazi bars, lesbian bars, white bars, black bars, dance bars, discos, Asian bars, girly bars, Army bars and Marine bars. There are plenty of bars. Choose the one you want to drink in. Stop worrying about the other ones. Change if you don't like the bar you're in.

It's easily possible for something to be Pareto optimal if the costs are never evaluated or identified. And the benefits are always labeled at societal level but incredibly ambiguous. When we figure out how to deal with externalities... Fairly. Then we can have nice things.

I'm a half dozen years behind the Zeitgeist in general. So I'm just now catching up on money heist. If I ever get in the business of reviewing a serial product, I will certainly not agree to write a review until I've seen at least one complete season. This is outrageously fucking hilarious

When I was growing up there were openly repressed minorities. And there were minorities that were not open that were repressed. For the majority it was keep your head low and learn how not to draw attention. There was great subtlety and nuance required because the stakes were literally people

I don't remember my 2 years at Texas A&M particularly fondly, but if there's one thing that's stuck with me other than a deep affection for Texas brisket it's sheer joy in watching the University of Texas lose.
