This is the heart of it: the pathologically entitled belief that they can treat you any way they want and it’s aggression for you to block them. Batterer’s logic.

From what I understand I am scheduled to be cancelled for my crimes on July 19th. It’s not ideal. I play Dungeons & Dragons Thursday night and I tend to be a little draggy in the morning, also Fridays are my catch-up-on-work day because they’re slow on breaking issues. But Thursday is super busy/1

In case you would like to evaluate how accurate a paraphrase image 1 is, I give you image 2. I, for one, find the emphasis on working fathers to be fairly clear.

I’m consistently embarrassed by the total losers I draw as enemies.

I mean look at these utter dregs. Avenatti was kind of an embarrassing but at least he was amusing. This is like being chirped at by a wet squirrel in an anime t-shirt.

I wish someone kept a list of all the imbeciles who said Elon Musk is a free speech hero so I could waggle a middle finger in their insipid faces until it fell off

New York Times: Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Too Old For This Fight And Should Drop Out And Let Luke Or Possibly C3PO Replace Him For The Good Of The Galaxy

Our awesome Inland Empire team moved into a new building. It’s very nice, but the bathroom stalls have a cell phone holder with a liability waiver and I confess I can’t decide whether to be horrified or intrigued.

The New York Times piece on how to do a good party is every bit as horrifying as you expect if you hate parties and, increasingly, the New York Times

Also horrifying for hosts, because what I need is a “chef, social media personality, and food stylist” telling other people their culture is wrong

Six years since kid3 wrote this passive-aggressive classic to kid1. Now that she can drive on her own she no longer bugs him for rides, though.

Just texted this to kid3 with the following result

I was on a conference call and I suddenly remembered the time unconvincing dildo and Federalist editor Sean Davis issued a defamation threat that described the tweet in question as an “obvious hoax,” thus establishing it is definitionally not defamatory, and I snort-laughed on my conference call.

At first I thought my wife was sending unsolicited abuse but it turns out she’s just adding a hike to the calendar

For day three of trial I’m wearing my favorite of my dad’s ties. Mom gave us both ties one year from a local now-departed clothing shop. I always coveted this one. “Be patient,” my dad would say. “You’ll get it someday.” And so I did. It’s 25% wider than the fashion, but then so am I.

Keep finding myself randomly intoning "VERGOGNA!" to myself in my head like a jingle and chuckling.
