Saving the world, one pointless act at a time.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
"I don't like how I feel about myself when I'm around these people" Gary Gulman about a realization he had about his family, and man oh day do I feel that in my bones
Staying at La Quinta which has an 11AM checkout, but breakfast ends at 9:30, which is idiotic. What exactly do they think we are going to do during that 90 minutes? Oh yeah, check out before 11, which means their check out is not really 11. Make it make sense. Losers.
Just saw Hadestown the Musical, and I guess these woke theater people think we're stupid--like people in ancient Greece just walked about singing all the time

The scariest thing about the Odyssey is that the Trojan horse is the symbol stamped on the most popular condoms today
My daughter's bf is so embarrassed by vomiting that he will tell people he has diarrhea instead of admitting he vomited
Saw a bobcat in our neighbor's yard last night and its hind legs were so long compared to a cat, like a human almost. Freaky!
My critique of The Odyssey is that the modern themes flatten Homer's complex story: - War is bad? - Circe is fighting the patriarchy? - Monsters are real, but Greek gods are puffs of wind or trauma hallucinations? - Dogs are morality barometers? - Calypso is Esther Perel? But it was still great.
I think the best way to understand Trump's false election hysteria is to imagine what would happen if he stepped on a scale

Me, telling my Gen Z daughter about our employee's son's girlfriend: So anyway, she's concerned that this girl is a bit immature because her son keeps showing up with human bite marks which he says are just "cute aggression" and not abuse Her, making a sandwich: Uh, huh .... Her: Wait, WUT?
An AI summary of a customer conversation. I feel like this is every conversation between American strangers today.
"We live in a political system that is not built for normal people. It is a system that is built structurally to make sure that movements like ours cannot flourish." So, Graham Platner, accused rapist, thinks he's the REAL VICTIM here, and the woman he assaulted is part of the deep state. Amiright?
I can't even hear these two songs without thinking of how big her hair is

If I could have a magic box that would let my cats understand me for only one sentence, that sentence would be, "For fuck's sake, throw up on the bare floor and not on the goddamn carpet"
I've been out here thumbs-upping people's texts, not realizing that it apparently makes me seem like a sarcastic dickweed. Maybe THAT's the new "most Gen X" thing I do on a regular basis.

I love everything Mindy Kahling does at this point. While I enjoy homework as much as the next person, I appreciate that she's just a good, good hang.

Nobody is happy about this. She's contemplating a jailbreak.
Just saw Disclosure Day, and I was surprised by the parallels to Strictly Ballroom

My guys at FIFA today. I opted out. Those tickets were crazy expensive!
One of my new favorite places near Dad's Florida house is this turtle infested lake in a park. So many turts!
My mom made this bicentennial quilt from the leftover fabric she used to make us Betsy Ross dresses for the local parade. Here we are, 50 years later. My dad was born in the year of the 150th year celebration (1926).
Visiting my 100 YO Dad who has so far been bewildered by: - my plan to exercise (what is cardio?) - a cowboy egg (picking it up, what is this?) - soft shell taco (how do I eat this?) We had these exact same conversations the last time I was here. And he's mentally sharp! Just not adventurous.
Gas prices in Florida are over a dollar a gallon lower for the same grade of gas. No wonder these assholes keep voting for fascism.
