Now you’ve got me wondering: Do I defiantly sit during the song at live event as a form of political protest or as a display of aesthetic disapproval?

Indiana Jones and the Hunt for the Bigfoot Jedi
I don’t know why you guys have to make such a big deal about it. I mean, if you actually bothered to read the ancient Jedi texts maybe you’d expose your tired bourgeois minds to thoughts that would make you question your comfortable suburban conformity. But no. That would challenge your precious programming, wouldn’t…
My company told me I have the oldest phone in the firm and that they’ll get me a new one if I want. I love my SE, so I’ve been reluctant. However, a month back I damaged something on the phone that has created a dead zone in one area of the screen, so it looks like I have to get a new phone regardless. I was trying to…
. . . held a meeting with Lucasfilm to discuss the future of Star Wars and Indiana Jones . . .
Came here to say it felt like a missed opportunity not setting the season a couple years later so Maggie could check out GLOW at the Fan Tan Resort and Casino.
When I was a 15-y-o boy, I had an butt that stuck out and was very self-conscious about it. One day, one of the cool kids who was holding court before class started commented that I “have that giant shelf ass.” I was mortified. I can’t even imagine multiplying “that feeling” x “teenage girl” x “in bathing suit” x…
Dear Tom,
Thank you for the reminder of why I don’t read Jonathan Franzen. I made it halfway through The Corrections back in the day, gave up, haven’t looked back. Better things to do with my time than read overlong, overblown prose about awful people being awful to each other in mundane ways.
It’s what made me the favorite grown up to my nephew, but also why his helicopter mother (my sister-in-law) wouldn’t let me be around him unsupervised. Now I have my own kids to damage.
That’s just bad parenting. Last week when I tried to take my kid to a Popeye’s for tenders but we had to leave because the line was too long, she barked out “Jesus Christ, people! It’s just a goddamn sandwich!” She’s 5. I took her across the street and bought her a Frostee.
When I taught college freshmen (so, mostly 18 year olds, which aren’t technically kids but, come on, they’re still basically babies), my trick was to strategically say something I “wasn’t supposed to say.” That could be dropping an occasional salty word, but mostly it meant revealing some cynical truth about the adult…
I work in marketing at a corporate law firm. They pay me to write shit like this. You laugh, but my posts this morning were written on a keyboard soaked with tears.
One thing I discovered years ago that has only been reinforced repeatedly is that little kids like talking to me partly because I use the exact same language with them as I do with adults. I don’t change my tone and I don’t simplify my word choices. They might have to ask me what a word means, but, you know, they…
I worked briefly at a government consulting firm and the kindest word I could use for the people there is “indoctrinated.” It was like they’d been training and striving their entire lives to get to a place where they could finally use every businessworld cliche in daily conversation. And they did so with gusto. It was…
It will be a synergy of heritage and artisanal, while remaining holistic in its ethos. We don’t sunset legacies here.
When I did a blue sky on my original post, my messaging was maybe too high level, going for the low-hanging fruit. Rather than table this or take it offline, maybe we can touch base and I can circle back. Perhaps an impactful pivot to something more granular can earn your buy-in. It’s mission critical to my personal…
I’m going to leverage your thought leadership when we ideate our next ecosystem disruption. I think a deep dive initiative will help unpack the core competencies needed to move the needle on our deliverables. Hopefully, it will incentivize engagement among key players. I’m out of pocket right now, so I can’t drill…
This is also why individual anecdotal evidence is such shaky ground in any argument. “You’re wrong because that’s not part of my experience.” Just because ScarJo has nothing but good stories to tell about Woody Allen doesn’t mean he wasn’t a terrible person to someone else. My brother was/is a violent piece of crap…
