I just had this idea for an “Influencer in Hell” social feed, and it’s just perky, vertical video ads of some way too polished-looking idiot pimping pitchforks, trips to a lake of fire, and Crocs.

It’s a certain kind of 7am mood when you’re scrolling an algorithmic “For You” feed and 90% of the posts make you think “OMG everyone just STFU.”

We live in a time that has me switching between proud that I might live a long time due to improved health, good habits and nutrition, and some good genes—and terrified that I might live a long time because there’s even more of this bullshit to come.

I like my life. I’ve been married for almost 25 years to a brilliant, kind, patient woman and I have four children of my own and a stepchild—and damned if they aren’t all just great people. I’ve actually essentially fulfilled some of my childhood dreams. But…I’m a bit much for some people. I know.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

I subscribe to the animal behaviorist theory that dogs think they’re people and cats think we’re big, stupid cats.
*humans become the planet’s apex predator*
*cats insinuate themselves into human lives as pets so they can shame us for our seeming inability to catch mice and bugs*

Instacart shoppers, especially dudes, seem to insist on pulling their shopping carts around the store, not pushing them. I know, that’s a “so what” kind of thing, but it made me wonder, like did those folks ever go to a grocery before getting into the gig? Or is pushing somehow uncool?

The Bubba BJ story is implausible to me, but so is a lot of shit actually going on now.

Of all the comedians to do this to, they pick one of the most thoughtful, perceptive guys possible and suspend him because he's absolutely righteously outraged. I'm sure BlueSky might defend the move by saying "rules is rules" but I'm not buying that shit.

There is a lot I find sad about the AI persona thing, but this is an insane level up. I might be deluded in other ways, but I can't grasp the level of self-delusion you'd need to buy into something like this.

Because I can’t stand most of what I read online I’ve been reading poetry again and now I wonder why I stopped, other than the way an ex who was an excellent poet once told me she stopped writing it because of me. Which is probably a poem I should write.

I turned 58 on Nov. 3rd. Know what’s crazy about aging? How you grasp so many things about life at once, but are too tired to follow all the threads.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Walmart has been around forever. I first shopped at one in the 1980s. A typical Wally World vibe hasn’t changed that much, but the huge one near our house is truly some kind of dystopian commercial hellscape and I’m not sure I ever want to go there again, lol.
