Mine was when I was buying wine at the self check, and the nice young man came up from behind me and asked for my ID. I turned around with my ID and he said, “oh, nevermind.” I guess the upside is that I don’t look 40+ from the back...? Still, it knocked me for a loop. I still have a few years until 50, so I’d…

I know, I know.... Havimg 16 and 20 year old boys, plus their friends hanging about, I feel just insufferably old. I understand that, from a pure life expectancy standpoint, I’m maybe half-done. But, from a “wearing out my welcome” standpoint, it’s as if we’ve moved to the shot clock showing minutes instead of…

I like the cut of your jib, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Being 15 was pretty much constant misery. Being able to indulge my 15 year old self from a safe 40-something.... Probably some sort of arrested development that I’ll process in my upcoming therapy, but it’s pretty satisfying!! :)

Holy. Cow. Great minds, and all. We saw Muse (swoon, for the 8th time) last fall, and paid the $50 for valet. We were back at the hotel in 20 min, instead of stuck in the parking lot for two hours. Not too much when split four ways, and TOTALLY worth it. There isn’t much spare cash floating around, but music is…

I’m guessing you’re as much as an Old as I am. :) Just having an age that begins with a 4 seems dreadfully old....

Also an (relatively, really) old who uses Twitter to keep up on music and a few podcasts. I totally get that *he* can’t legally block, but if I continually posted non-threatening items like “fuck off, horrible monster,” can the Twitter powers that be/their minions block me? Like on some dumb profanity clause or…

Exact same level of intelligence, as well. Frankly, I’d rather have cat...leavings as POTUS - at least they would not be actively harming children.

I think those that know better wouldn’t interpret your comment as negative. The fact you even thought it might be negative means you are a good internet stranger. :)

OMG. That’s one of my favorite commercials, EVER, and nobody ever gets it. I live on the west coast, and always refer to them as the KC Chefs. Amazing reference!!

I sometimes fantasize that I am Batman, but his only power is wealth - I think I like Superman’s heat vision much better. Kudos to you for using the powers for good!!!

Your tent-structure sounds both calm and refreshing, much like those I’ve been in at a rave (back in the day). I am assuming it is not at all a trap surrounded by chainlink...? I will meet you there!!!

You know he just wants to call us “the cunts.” I’m totally fine with that, you orange nightmare, bring it on, fuckface!! You can do plenty of real stuff to hurt us, words...nope!!!!

As a public health wonk, an individual and employer-funded health plan broker (and a human), this just terrifies me. Think how much worse off we’d all be in these horrible times if mental health visits were capped at 8 per year, if a pre-existing condition was excluded from coverage or if premiums were set based on…

What in the quiet fuck is going on???? Shit has been awful for months, but between yesterday and today, I feel as if I’ve woken up in a dystopian nightmare.

I’m coming off about 15 minutes on Clickhole. My brain was telling me I mustn’t have clicked over to Splinter, or this must be a whimsical cross-post. It is not. This administration is absolutely without shame, fucking heartless and dumber than the proverbial bag of hammers. Please, please, please make them go…

Ugh - I am pretty new to therapy, and hope it will help to allow me to reframe my experience, but how nice would it be to have an immediate fix??

Thank you, and I’m glad to hear it’s given you some relief.

“Did he sexually assault her?”

Quite the opposite. This tells me they were well aware of his disgusting behavior and her essay being published, bring it all into the open, was the last straw. I know a few people in the SoCal comedy circuit, and suffice it to say, this did not come as a surprise to individuals who have worked with him. The…
