Apropos… a piece I wrote with a similar theme. www.indianapolismonthly.com/news-and-opi...

I don’t know how we combat the knee jerk distrust and hatred some (mostly older) folks have for anyone with a (D) next to their name. They’re at a point they’re aware how much they’re losing because of *him* and would STILL vote for him over any (D).

Elect Pete Buttigieg as Speaker of the House when the Blue Wave happens. It can be anyone!

Everything is dumb, send skeet.

I like this idea. If someone could organize people with paid PTO to schedule a rolling rotation of days off for months, there would be a productivity hit that corporations might feel.

I think about this a lot. Americans have basically no social safety nets, at-will employment laws, health insurance tied to employment, and relatively low PTO. It’s never going to be European-style strikes here.

I’m sure Jenna Bush is a lovely person, but it’s a nah for me.

Hypothetical question from my teen: Could you + 40 people eat all the food in an American grocery store in one year? (The food never goes bad.)

How it feels to eat food in 2026 America

Is it wrong to want to write a book out of spite?!

I am radicalized more every day in this freaking country. Try getting a medical service on short notice or go to the grocery store to pay $9 for lunchmeat. When will we have had enough?!?

20 years ago we used to have Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs and now we have Johnny Diarrhea, Bob Diarrhea and Steve Diarrhea.

I mean, the upside of living in a gerontocracy is that, statistically speaking, the clock is ticking on all of them.

What’s a good funny movie to stream on the usual platforms right now?

Real question: Is there any ethical obligation on the healthcare workers to confirm if he’s dead? Aren’t death records public?

Even before today’s news, a demoralizing part of a candidate like Platner is we know there are probably half dozen more suitable women candidates, yet we perpetually hold our noses and bend over backwards to make excuses for mediocre men. WHYYYYYY

Seems implausible, yet commercial flights in this country somehow continue to get more miserable.

Me, dumping MiraLAX in my coffee: “Iocaine powder! Odorless, tasteless, undetectable in liquid. One of the more deadly poisons known to man.”

This could be us, but non-white people might enjoy looking at them, so probably not.

Mother’s Day thought experiment: What if Jesus had been depicted as a woman? Would western society be 40% less misogynistic? Or would Christianity be relegated to a niche religion because of it? Hmm.

I would like to file a complaint that I am putting on a puffy jacket to walk my dogs IN MAY.

The arc of the moral universe appears to be on a bit of a detour at the moment.

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

Me, listing off the various large grifts going on in govt to my boomer mom. Mom: I don’t understand this *moon business* either. What was the point of THAT?! There’s nothing on it.

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

The Jetsons lied to us

I’ll be saying this on my deathbed.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Per my last post… 😂

This country feels so willfully stupid. Hard to see a way out when everything is just so… dumb.

Okay, at this point the jeans thing is on purpose. This is beyond coincidence. What on EARTH.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Oh good. Pentagon announcement later this morning. I’m sure it will be chill and normal.

In petty news, I just did a reply-all to an email I was a bcc on. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think it’s Friday beer time.

Obviously KKKristi Noem is a POS, but I’d also like to see them just once not tie a woman to the stake like a goat for the velociraptors to eat. Can a man EVER take a shred of accountability?!

My dogs were intrigued to find what appeared to be a Canadian goose’s leg on our walk. I’m trying to figure out what could do that. Probably not a hawk or eagle, right? Must’ve been a coyote or maybe a fox? Seems like that would’ve been… noisy.

Really not sure why I stay on top of the news at this point.

They think this was another smash ‘n grab, but don’t realize it’s a jenga tower. These idiots are going to get us all killed.

Why are my Boomer relatives coming over to Instagram all the sudden?! #dislike
