It’s my understanding that a passport will suffice for air travel.

This is so effing annoying. Government issued ID should be ID for all purposes.

Fellow Gen Xer and totally remember my cohort, even the liberals, being roundly unimpressed with John-John.

Savory oatmeal is awesome. People side-eye the shit out of it for some reason, but it’s delicious.

I clicked wondering if it was a podcast about being nostalgic for the days of the Cold War. Because honestly, I would take “the evil empire” over ISIS and other religious fundamentalist specters. 

I can’t believe that has to be said. I mean, I believe it, but still.

That’s rude AF and people who assume you want to hear their music always have shitty taste.

One day I set myself up on the leg press only to have a guy run up, insist he was using it, only one more set, yada yada, then when I let him have it back to finish, he lay there reading his fucking phone. That was the day I said “fuck this” and started putting together a home gym. No leg press but at least no fuckers…

That’s what I think when I hear about anyone being refused service because of political opinion, medication prescribed, race, etc. “It must be nice when you can afford to turn away business.”

I work in education. I’m literally living off my neighbors’ tax dollars.

I don’t pay that much attention to fellow shoppers. 

I’m way less of a risk taker at 44 than I was at 24. I was concerned about that until I realized that I’m that way because I have way more to lose now.

I think a lot of the shit people say when you’re struggling is just laziness, discomfort, or both. “Oh shit, feelings! Yuck! Uh...God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle! Now be happy and stop bumming me out and needing me to support you!”

I live in fire country and as far as I’m concerned, fireworks should be outright illegal here. Fuck off with your constitutional right to burn the whole goddamn county down.

I committed a fashion faux pas by wearing Shades jeans. I did not know they were Palmettos knockoffs. 

Huh. All the ones in my social circle became real estate agents.

My mom bought me Reeboks at Costco in 1986 and my best friend at the time (who was much more fashion-forward than myself) later confessed that she was so jealous she almost stopped being friends with me.

We have a cultural problem where people aren’t allowed to just be sad when sad stuff happens or mad when maddening things happen. We’re exhorted to smile, be positive, everything happens for a reason, etc. Now we’re reading about how our young people can’t handle negative experiences very well. I posit the two are…

That fucking song. I still hate it. I’m glad he was a one hit wonder but he didn’t even deserve that one.
