You are giving the dudes at the gym WAY too much credit for giving a shit about anyone else. Mostly we just do some sets, turn up the headphones, then go home.

I'm guessing you also use the word "summer" as a verb.

I know, that's why I put him in my short list of modern individuals who do a lot of philanthropy.

Seconded. Where's all the rich dudes naming libraries and museums after themselves like we had back in the day? Bill Gates, Pritzkers, whomever Catherine T. MacArthur is, and that's about it. Andrew Carnegie they ain't. (Even if he was a robber baron first, but today we have robbing without the benevolent baron-ing.)

Watch out, or his dad will behead you and two small Asian children with a helicopter.

I treat my wedding ring like a nice watch and actively avoid wearing it a lot of the time, because I'm pretty sure doing anything more vigorous than typing or holding a beer is going to cause me to lose it. Don't wear it to the gym, DEFINITELY don't wear it in the pool, and you're probably safer not wearing it anytime…

Seconded. Wilbon and Rovell make us look like a school full of self-important shitheads. I swear we're not, unless you're talking women's lacrosse.

I'm in IL, so our state is one of the few to be gerrymandered as pro-Democrat, but I think it's a fucked-up thing for either side to do. If there isn't a national org that supports state-level efforts to draw non-partisan boundaries, there probably should be.

Recent entry is my new favorite: "I, The Host, Yes I Who Am Speaking, Am An Idiot"

Question here: I think gerrymandering is the worst political thing impacting the country right now. Does anybody know of any group I could join that gets behind the idea of non-partisan commissions like they have in California? I will join the SHIT out of that organization.

That's more than a little RAYCESS.

Twitter is infested with "digital marketer / social media guru" types who make up that 2.2 million and spend all day retweeting Jack Welch and Guy Kawasaki.

Obviously this guy is not a fan of cumonmyglasses.com.

That was almost every interaction I had while living there.

Being turned down != disliking the idea of women asking men on dates.

What I would tell you, as someone who was way-jaded ten years ago at 23, is that eventually your existential world shrinks a bit and this stuff is less concerning. It's not like I feel less empathy, but I recognized that the act of thinking about all the people who have it rough doesn't do dick. You are you, and you…

I'd rather have Jerry Jones than Jerry Richardson. Snyder is an absolute finalist, though.

This was epic, and you have convinced me: I will never visit Arizona again.

The only cure for this is to find some way to regularly remind yourself that you have it good by helping people who have it bad. I volunteer because helping people feels good, but a selfish benefit also includes thinking, "Damn, your life is rough as fuck. Good thing I have this awesome job that might be kinda boring…

Really? I take it every day and find that a bigger problem are the drivers who take the curves WAY too fast. Every now and then a driver will floor it between Armitage and Sedgwick, causing half the people in the car to stumble into the other half.
