A secure man doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about handshakes. Those of us who are insecure but not usually acting like an asshole also don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them. And yet books on management spend chapters on this. Makes you think.

I’m actually sleeping really well. But I have some anxiety anyway, so I’ve never slept well. The news is so bad that I’m just exhausted by the end of the day now.

I initially read the headline to include the phrase “Wyoming’s Senate Anti-abortion Committee”. Didn’t blink.

I am a friend to the olds. This is “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine. I shit you not, Paul Ryan once said that that is his favorite band, to which guitarist Tom Morello responded that he is the epitome of the machine that their music rages against. I’m convinced that conservatives can’t actually hear…

Every shit species is simply filling a niche in the shit ecosystem. There is no proper hierarchy.

Trump administration week 3: Americans forget what joy feels like.

I suppose that it’s possible that he means he disappoints a man and a woman each once per year.

I’m guessing he disappoints a very kind woman about every 27 months and rounded in his own favor.

I feel much better about myself after reading this, knowing that I would never sleep with an Ohio State fan.

I love this joke.

No one I’m Trump’s cabinet can see anyone who makes less than $1M/yr

There’s some value to doing it, and I do. But sometimes it’s easier to sway someone with a completely different tactic, and right now I’m not calibrating, which makes me pretty useless as an interlocutor.

As dumb as it was for a non-white woman to side with those fucks, you couldn’t be more right. I’m so mad at my implicit tribe of white dudes that I’m not even functioning as a good liaison now. I find myself just shouting now.

I am happy to have you both on side. It’s clearly correct that we need to embrace our new allies, as a matter of political logic, but I’m still so fucking mad at them. Let’s rein it in and accept this short-sited fuckwit, and argue with her when/if we’ve all saved the world together.

It’s cross-subsidization. People in the cheap seats pay less because some of y’all can’t go 2 hours without a shiatsu massage and a cocktail (no judgment), but you also pay less than if the plane were empty except for you, your bartender, and the massage therapist.

Hadn’t heard “Cheeto Jesus” yet. I like it.

They rarely do. Deer mostly get hit because they run out into the road. They rarely stop and wait for a car to come along in a few minutes. Cars get hit when they stop, but rarely when they’ve *been* stopped. And let’s be clear. If a driver is driving too fast to stop in time for an obstacle at the full range of their…

If drivers are driving at anything resembling appropriate speeds, then being in the road isn’t dangerous. Darting into the road would be, but that’s not under discussion here.

It is not dangerous to have a highly visible group of people on a highway if motorists are driving at appropriate speeds.
