For 12 years straight I keep being surprised at how insulated the right-wing media bubble is from the outside world. I keep thinking "surely MAGA Dad won't tolerate THIS"!? Then I'm shown once again that MAGA Dad simply doesn't know about THIS. I have exasperation fatigue.

Another one is tax accountants. They are like a Dungeon Master rolling perception checks. They never let you see their tables and maps, you just have to fumble around in the dark. "any more deductions?" "...maybe, what counts?" "anything on your LLC, of course!" "ok...umm..."

I hate unwritten rules that are arbitrary and counter-intuitive but everyone approaches as if they are logical, self-evident and universally understood. Insurance claims and the inspection/repairs game after an accepted house sale are two examples that drive me insane.

The Steelers couldn't afford Kirk Cousins.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

If booty rockin’ everywhere, the booty rockin’ is of no importance. Booty rockin’ has become mundane and worthless from over saturation of the marketplace.

Jimmy's on his bullshit again.

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-presi...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
