Talk less

Wait...where do you work?

Not until Joe Montana had QB’d his way to a third Super Bowl victory did my father concede that Johnny U had been dethroned as the all-time best in his eyes. After he tied Bradshaw and Montana with 4 rings, I was grudgingly forced to acknowledge Brady as having replaced Joe as the new all time King of the QB’s (with…

Toasted Ritzes are a pretty underrated cracker. Salty and buttery like a regular Ritz but less crumbs.

First, Triscuits are garbage. It’s like someone went, “How can we take these unsold wicker baskets and make money off them?” and they turned them into trash crackers. The worst part is that Triscuits constantly try to market them like a party cracker. “Just take a Triscuit, cover it with melted cheese, bacon, avocado,…

I blame the parenting. Who raises a psychopath and doesn’t tell them to not keep a journal?

Ahhh, but the feeling you get when you realize you didn’t raise a psychopath is truly amazing!

Allow me a brief moment of soapboxing-

PS- “you’re welcome” from Moana is also better than many songs inLaLa Land. In my house, we sing it every time we thank each other. I just don’t know why I can’t like LALa Land. I love musicals and I love Ryan Gosling. I just can’t like it

Hot take- the music of Moana is ten million times better than LaLa Land I’ve listened to the soundtrack incessantly.

LMM will never be insufferable as long as he is using his powers for good, like increasing minority visibility in theater and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for Planned Parenthood, for example.

The fact that Americans care so much about what celebrities think about politics helps explain why the country is so fucked up.

“I also know several people who felt excluded ... and I think it’s because it was about so many things at once.”

Agreed, it seems wrong to be so cynical and mistrusting of people who are new to activism. They are in many ways “the middle” that activists spend so much time trying to convince and get involved. Well, they did, now let’s work to make them follow up.

What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?

Can’t this be a first step? Let’s encourage people to join and listen.
