I do caution anyone against promoting hybrids as viable pets. It’s possible, but the dangers and risks are significant and I have seen far too many people screw up owning a Lab to want to see anyone seeking out a wolf dog because they’re “cool”.

I loved Jon Fine’s book, even though I disagreed with his dislike of Jonathan Richman’s music ;-)

The White Stripes may be the most overrated band since Led Zeppelin.

Thanks to David and Brandon for making this weekend the greatest automotive experience of my life thus far. The Briarwood will always be the anchor of my future fleet of shit boxes and I owe it all to you guys.

I swear Trump could walk up to a WWII vet, punch him in the face while wiping his ass with an American flag and screaming “im a liberal and I love gays and abortion” all on live TV, then the next day go on Fox and Friends and say “I never did that” and his stupid fuck supporters (and the people in Fox) would say “see…

Very quick UK update...

Donald Trump: stupid or incompetent? Which is worse or more tragic?

I’ve played a good amount of golf for the past 40 years, oftentimes at bush league muni courses, and until today, I have NEVER seen a jackass drive a cart across a green!!

It’s like scooping a giant hole in the ice of an ice hockey ring.

It’s the equivalent of wearing golf cleats on the court in pickup basketball.

How do we get these younger folks to understand what it was like? I remember the fear. I remember the AIDS quilt and ACT UP. I remember people dying. It was scary.

I feel the same way. My daughter (13) and her friends just have NO concept of what it was like to grow up in the 80s and 90s. They hear about AIDS and sort of shrug their shoulders, thinking about PREp and the cocktail and all the gains made in the past 10 years. I think about losing friends and family members, and…

How old are your students? If they are kids, I’d mention Ryan White too.

So many young gay guys act as if HIV/Aids is nothing. I know there are drugs that prevent transmission and it’s no longer a quick death sentence, but the drugs aren’t fail safe and there are other STD/STIs that they can contract.

This makes me crazy too. I was a middle schooler in 1990, before AZT came on the market and tens of thousands of Americans were diagnosed every year. My parents, teachers, and coaches were all terrified about HIV. Sex Ed was comprehensive. practical, and constant, if a little on the scary side (but none of this…

I’ve been saying well before 11/9 Trump is a threat to the public health. God knows what would happen if we had another Ebola crisis or even flu season. The man is a anti vaxxer. Oh ok skeptic. His VP as Indiana governor let a HIV crisis fester. He appointed a anti vaxxer as HHS secretary. If someone recommended Jenny…

People lost jobs,had their kids taken from their custody, were burned out of their houses, watched everybody they knew in their circle of friends die. Those who are too young to remember the eighties really can’t grasp that it was a plague; both in the sense of a virus spreading unchecked and in how it was treated (or…

Can they make money on it? If yes it’s dropsy for everyone

Opioids are the modern day equivalent I’d say. Until we treat addiction as a public health issue instead of a public safety issue (amongst other things such as doctors proscribing serious opioid based pain killers for any surgical procedure) that problem isn’t going anywhere.
