Compiling NBA statistics to make in-class examples for my stats class. Let me tell you, compiling NBA salaries is depressing AF when you’re a tall, dyspraxic math teacher.

I just realized that every NBA team sounds like something out of Mega Man X. “Charlotte Hornet is weak against Oklahoma City Thunder.”

If I were a Chuck Tingle book right now, its title would be “Pounded in the Butt by Sudden Expenses.”

I don’t understand why a Rolex would impress anyone who isn’t rich. My broke ass doesn’t know what a Rolex looks like. You might as well paint “Rolex” over “Casio.”

I’m not saying to lose hope. That’s the opposite of what I think you should do. But I am saying you better operate under the assumption that the 2026 and 2028 elections will be rigged all to fuck and back.

There’s a surprising amount of math in this. Substantive math, not just arithmetic. youtu.be/0QWP4IZOu0I

I am deeply sorry to hear about Phil Robertson after 12 years of happily forgetting he existed.

The older I get, the more the ill-thought-out ideal utopian future depicted in Star Trek viscerally bugs me. No matter how much you improve society, someone needs to be incentivized to take responsibility for cleaning the jizz out of the holodeck.

Watching Clint Hall’s stand-up comedy. He mentions that he used to be a professional wrestler, which surprised the audience. But I see it.

I’ve been trying to rewatch Miss Artemis: Pet Regressor. Artemis Pebdani plays a psychic for pets and the videos are like five minutes long and have almost zero budget. It’s weird how the Internet has everything except what I’m looking for.

I’m not going to let a damn machine do my thinking, especially if it won’t also do my worrying.

I wish real life was like a CastleVania game: talk shit to Dracula, solve a few puzzles in a creepy castle, and then I can double jump and change into a bat for the rest of my life.

Crestfallen to hear about Peter David dying. His comics are fun to read. His book on writing taught me a lot. I recommend it. He knew how to make fictional characters feel like someone whose hand you could shake.

Last time I checked, Ukraine is a country with multiple borders through which supplies can be brought, while Gaza is an open air prison. Holy shit you people are the dumbest motherfuckers alive

I know this’ll sound like I’m high but I’m not… I suspect every generation gets more melodramatic because we get our common culture from watching actors. Like any skill, actors improve over decades of practice, but we identify with young actors. Novice-to-intermediate actors teach youths how to be.

Planned obsolescence is the most evil shit ever thought up. I’m broke and my devices are at that age where I push a button and they’re like, “Yeah, I’m not doing that.”

Trump speaking at West Point like he wouldn’t be the first to surrender West Point to an invading army.

I don’t believe intelligence is measurable as a single variable because I’ve heard Kid Rock is actually quite a proficient multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer. Because if you asked me to estimate Kid Rock’s intelligence at anything non-musical…

If my parents knew what gentle parenting was in the 80s, they’d have said, “I know you’re struggling with big feelings right now, but none of them are valid.”

“Llamaste” means “you called” in Spanish, but in English it’s how you respond to your friends asking if you want to go out.

I don’t like how the news media talks about famine like it’s a natural disaster. With the amount of food and movement of goods that is possible, no famine is natural.

I believe the name Ashton was invented when someone tried to name their kid Austin but was so drunk they forgot a third of the letters.

I just had to say goodbye to Aiko. She was 17 and her kidneys gave up. When no human in the world cared about me, she did. When all signs said the world would be happier without me, she needed me. For 17 years, she reminded me that there was a point to all this. I miss her so much.

You ever notice how it’s never the right-wing musicians whose songs get misinterpreted? Nobody hears Kid Rock’s nuance-free “Don’t Tell Me How to Live” and thinks, “Yes, fund the CDC.”

TIL Korea has a famous singer and actress named Sooyoung… which is coincidentally also the Korean word for swimming. Imagine having to Google “swimming—the concept, not the singer.”

All my life, I thought to myself, the G.O.P. seems to want to kill everyone who is dark-skinned and/or gay. Everything I ever heard a Republican say against that was perfunctory and mealy-mouthed. Every Democrat said I was overreacting. Not happy to be right. Angry that I was driven to doubt myself.

Playing Princess Crown, an early George Kamitani joint after he left Capcom but before he formed Vanillaware. There’s an option to hold a cat for no reason, so I like this game already.

The thing I never understood about Undercover Boss: did minimum-wage workers really not think anything was up when they suddenly got a new older coworker who wore too much makeup and brought a camera crew?

Alford pleas are such a wild legal concept: “In response to the charges, the defendant pleas… OK. I can see how you’d think that.”

Until the little news notification I just now got, I had no idea a government could “formally” accept a bribe.

Because of my childhood trauma, most people I meet do and will treat me like garbage for the rest of my life. No idea how it’s fair that I’m the one expected to change and not them.
