I’d propose they all be packed off to an island somewhere - but then I’d be stuck on that island with only white males around and that would be awful.

I teach college. The march of time greets me every time I walk into the classroom. But then I’m an historian, so I’m (mostly) ok with it.

I saw a set of charts detailing the age gaps for leading men in Hollywood. Almost all are generally terrible, with only Tom Hanks being consistent appearing with age-appropriate costars.

Really? Having recently passed the 5-0, I can’t say people are throwing themselves at my feet. Oh right, that’s not how statistics work. 

“Loud bachelorette party getting rowdy” is what we call “day ending in y” in Nashville. It would be hilarious to have about 800 of them in Metro lockup. The whole city would cheer - except the people whose paycheck depends on them. And some of them too.

Or Mueller.

It’s in the final review section. “Would you like to someday pay big fines and maybe, possibly go to jail? Click here!”

Yeah, I ain’t in that category. My “non-wage” income is mostly change I find on the ground.

This needs to happen. Foo-Fighters and Rick A. That would be the second most memed music video ever.

When did he ever look like a middle-aged man? I was in college when the video that conquered the world came out (1987) and thought he looked pretty young then. Being a middle=age man myself these days, I’d pay very good money to look as young as he does now.

What can they do better collectively, he asks? Well, you could actually give a damn. That would be a good place to start.

Hi, you must be new to this planet. I recommend the tacos and not talking about things you are clueless about.

Yeah, go fuck yourself.

Trump started complaining about how Japan was taking us for a free ride back in 1987, when the Cold War was still very much on. Oh, and he did that right after his first visit to the Soviet Union. Hmmmmm......

Being dead while Black is apparently also a thing.

Never mind

Hmm. I’m 52, and most of the people in my friends group, some of whom I’ve known for decades, are single. True, some of them are divorced, but when I think of who comes to my dinner parties, in a group of 25 their might be two married couples, one or two long-term but not married couples, and the rest singles. Age…

I was a college student for eleven years and lived in dorms for a lot of that period. I never once called the cops on someone I didn’t recognize and I never heard of anyone else doing it either. I don’t know what “normal” you are talking about.

I mean, how could women make such an outrageous choice, right? It’s a complete and total mystery we may never understand. Anyway, I have to go now. I’m late for my “Shoe-Tying for Adults, How The Hell Don’t You Know How To Do This Yet?” class.
