You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

It was in standby formation on a grinder at Camp Pendleton, on the verge of being mobilized in 1992 to quell the Rodney King riots one hour north of us, when I realized I wanted no further part of being in a military that could be called to attack its own people. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Places like this are where America’s greatness remains manifest and authentic.

If 10 Cent Beer Night was A New Hope, then Disco Demolition Night was The Empire Strikes Back.

Okay, but who is the scorpion and who is the frog in this particular fable? abcnews.go.com/Politics/elo...

No one was as surprised as myself to learn that the hip young black guy from Real People turned into a media mogul at, like, billionaire level. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Is Fooled Around and Fell in Love the less severe outcome of FAFO? Asking for a friend.

My kid brother is poised to become a grandfather twice this year, and I’m not quite sure what to do with that, emotionally speaking, since my own offspring - for varying and mostly understandable reasons - are all starting to look like the end of our ancestral road.

The only thing funnier than a BSOD in an airport is the terrifying revelation that other airports are still running 20+year old OS’s in their backend.

🎼 “Who’s the maker of the drugs? The meth for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y W-H-I-T-E!”

Being in the middle of the Atlantic is no excuse to ignore the sanctity of the May 4 holiday.

I’m wondering if my shirt is the reason I’ve been savagely probed by Disney security on three separate instances of walking in and out of EPCOT today. They’re probably more mad that it’s unlicensed than anything else.

It has taken me 2.5 years to beat my wife at this, but here we finally are.

I…I had no idea that the apotheosis of Sheena Easton sexing up her image occurred years after the release of “Sugar Walls” 😳

Breaking News: Pontifex Maximus Jorge Mario Bergoglio Franciscus of Rome is still dead.

Correlation is not causation, but sometimes you have to wonder…

How long until Hegseth is just live-streaming war plans on Joe Rogan?

It is 1981, and I am illegally cutting down a tree with my uncle in a city park for Christmas decorations. It is 2025, and I am illegally trimming rosemary with my daughter in a city park for Easter turkey brining.

Took my youngest son to the new Daiso in town and he was understandably underwhelmed. I’ve seen less scarcity in Soviet-era bread lines.

Me, racing home from work at top speed on an e-bike with less than one bar left on the battery.

I miss the simpler times when America merely installed right wing dictators in Latin America, rather than proposing illegal deportation and incarceration agreements with them.

If you say “curly” backwards, it comes out almost sounding like “Elric”, which means there’s an argument to be made that the greatest Stooge is in fact an aspect of The Eternal Champion.

I have the best text exchanges with my eldest son.

This is me, trying to explain the print spooler to my wife, going all the way back to Windows 95.

Is it just me or does it seem like my hometown has started killing off its more famous residents?

Since I manage a new IT group at work now, I get to recycle one of my better April Fool’s gags this year, i.e. - telling the techs that we’re going to support the pedometers given out by the Wellness program, which necessitates the need to ask staff for their current weight to perform device resets.

An AI rendering of a scene at his office that my DEA agent friend was telling me about, and yet Musk and his stupid DOGE insist that government waste is all inside of social programs.

Mego did us 1970’s kids dirty by not importing this beast from Japan for the Micronauts line. He would have made the perfect counterpart to Microtron.

Just as in Signalgate, Trump is not briefed or involved. He is an old man who has lost his marbles. It's the losers around him that are making the decisions about our government. We have no President.

This reskeet heartily endorsed by your Brokedick Marine infantry sergeant of the day whose enlisted tenure precedes Signal by a country mile yet still groks the problem.

Everyone knows about “feel good sports movies” but, imo, “feel bad sports movies” are a vastly underdeveloped genre, especially given the modern zeitgeist.

My pingshot brings all the boys to the yard. (First time firing my own hand loads through my Garand. Good grouping and I still have all my extremities, so call it a win)
