It’s anecdotal and it all happened in college, which in the context of a fraternal organization in Oxford, means that it’s really hard to prove and very easy for the organization to throw up its collective hands and deny it. Buuuuut..... the story isn’t going away either and Cameron has made one statement and stood by…

Satire has left the building.

He’s like the preachers that would infest my college’s campus (and really haven’t changed in the decades since) calling out how we were doomed to hell and sinners all and...

Olive told the Herald he didn’t know if teachers would be provided guns or would have to buy them, but said the House plan does provide a one-time $500 stipend for those who volunteer to have a gun.

So the same people who went to great lengths to not just boycott Keurig but actually, physically destroy their coffeemakers are offended by... a... boycott?

In thanks for the correction, I would like to tell the story I heard Ann Richards (RIP) tell in an interview.

He is the ONLY reason I’m thinking about seeing the Solo film. Everything else? Pffft....

That’s not enigmatic. That’s... extremely, Southern polite.

Wait, how does this work in the rhetorical framework that we can’t change the laws and ban the guns because the “bad guys” will still get them?

Unfortunately William Hung was unavailable.

Clearly he is only biding his time before he is replaced by the next iteration of his model, which will of course be the Federest.

I read a really good essay by a military vet who was asked what he would say to anyone considering enlisting now. His advice was don’t. Not because he’s not proud of his service but because of this administration. Do you really want to be a part of that machine?

Here’s a pretty good work-safe comparison of 50 Shades with Secretary, which I recommend: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/secretaryand50shades/

Robert Heinlein. I don’t know why my dad thought reading To Sail Beyond The Sunset would be harmless but holy FUCK that was... something else.

I had a friend who had a similar reaction to cocaine. It was tragically funny when she told me that when she couldn’t afford her prescription meds (which happened), she could at least rely on some cocaine to keep her level... and that it was cheaper.

Reminds me of a burlesque performer I knew back in my days of photographing the local scene. She said that what she really loved about burlesque audiences is that she knew that nobody in the audience was objectifying her when she was performing. I didn’t have the heart to remind her that the MCs at these gigs…

I temped at Amazon corporate in Seattle (South Lake Union) a couple years ago. I thought it was strange being almost trampled by people who walked down the hallway with their laptops open to work on stuff as they walked the corridors. That is until I saw the guy who was standing at a urinal in the bathroom with his…

Finally, we have a gold star president. Such a shame it’s a gold star in Mrs. Smith’s kindergarten class, but...

Buddy, read a fucking room.

Except they’re not stupid people, they’re bullies and mean girls. They’re the ones who are just smart enough to game the system to their advantage for a while. They’re cunning and have some guile to have whatever power they have, but no further. And I think a lot of them know exactly what kind of fakers they are, so…
