It feels really odd to me that I can still feel this scared of the pandemic this far in. I don’t mean that I’ve ever come to think of it as a hoax or some bullshit, just that it’s been long enough that I’ve built a life and a routine around it. I go to work, wear a mask all day prepping and serving food to the public,…

I won’t miss my mom’s husband who’s transformed into a Trump supporter, but I also won’t miss my sister’s partner who two years ago left her without a vehicle, job, or way to pay the rent to get back together with his ex-wife. Somehow he made his way back into her life and she’s made it clear that we’re all just…

If I legally changed my last name to Trump and ran for a seat (with my progressive ideals) I wonder if anyone would vote for me just supposing I was part of the family.

I really don’t think he’s going to wait until January to blame everything on Biden.

When I worked at a movie theatre over a decade ago the bathrooms were across a very small lobby from the concession stand so we could hear all the plumbing that was being used at any given time. We employees would keep track of the people who didn’t wash their hands and point them out to each other. Unfortunately…

One thing that I like about Biden’s speech post-election win and something that I hope we’ll revisit during his presidency was the acknowledgement of the lives lost in the pandemic. I think for a lot of people it doesn’t feel real just as long as we don’t think about the individual people lost to this disease, and any…

Does it sound very dystopian to have to limit gatherings to 6 people or they might die in a horrible out-of-control plague? Absolutely. But that’s the reality that we’re living in at the moment, even if it sounds far-fetched. Accept it.

Just take your star.

Person: “I want a better life for my kids.”

I have been slowly building up my pantry, something I intend to continue doing this next week. I don’t want to panic buy because that causes problems, but I definitely have more flour, sugar, and butter than I am likely to go through very fast. And liquor. I’ll probably buy another flat of tp next time I’m shopping…

I will resist the urge to post all of Kyle Kinane's special Lose in Chicago, but will take this opportunity to recommend it.

The Army and Navy (and I think probably the Marines too, but not so much the Coasties or the Air Force) are far more diverse than the police and probably would be difficult to turn on their fellow citizens. I think any plot that hinges on these three branches of the military being deployed within the country would…

I was in 8th grade in 2001 when the Twin Towers fell. While I remember parts of that day, what really stands out to me was one year later. Our high school had only been in session for a week or two and the administration decided to do a big assembly to commemorate 9/11. This isn’t necessarily a bad idea on it’s face,…

I don’t really understand what is going on with the Repubs at this moment. Did they really not have some sort of plan or next steps for if Biden unequivocally won the election? I understand Team Trump’s refusal to acknowledge, but I figured other leaders within the party would have some sort of strategy in place that…

You won’t have to wait that long. “Vice” came out 10 years after the end of Bush’s term, but “W.” came out during the last year of his presidency. It might take 30 years for a good movie about it, but someone is probably writing a script that will be in theatres max 2 years from now. That is, of course, if theatres…

Not exactly panic buying, but I won’t let my tp supply get as low before stocking up. Pre-pandemic I’d reup when I was down to one extra roll, now I’m buying when I still have four or five left. Don’t plan on risking it, but not ready to build a fort.

Ha ha ha, over? Nah, dog. We can hope we’re in the middle of the fight now, rather than the beginning though. Don’t put down your weapons now, just adjust your grip on them.

It sounds like the ex-husband is a Rock Jumper. My invented name for my own ex, who started dating a friend of mine the day after we broke up. Upon reflection I realized that he started dating me immediately after a different break-up, and now that he and the girlfriend who came after me split, he’s with another…

It will be interesting to see how delayed election results will affect down ballot races. In my hometown, the one incumbent for city council I absolutely did not want reelected was trailing by a thin margin last night, and waking up this morning that gap is growing a little bit wider. Fuck you, Michael.

I really like lemons, but I like your overall premise.
