I needed this reminder this morning, because even though it's 2025, it still applies.
Bullshit is indeed everywhere. A LOT.
From high-minded pundits to those who think toxic, passive-aggressive manipulation is the way to a healthy relationship.
If you smell something.
SAY something.

It was the First Amendment's Freedom of the Press that helped bring Nixon down.
Reagan saw that an educated/informed citizenry would NEVER vote Republican.
The GOP has spent the ensuing decades punishing journalists for that by taking over the industry and making it their personal propaganda arm.

I'm old enough to remember when President Nixon was putting journalists in jail.
Why is it always the Republicans who attack the press?
Why do they hate the 1st Amendment?

Three years ago, I overhauled my PC at a cost of about $1200.
- new motherboard, CPU, GPU, SSD, cooling and 64 GB of DDR5 RAM.
How many people I knew who said I was an idiot for spending that much money are seeing the same upgrades now cost 3x-10x as much.
Yay monopolies & manufactured scarcity!!

I have GOOD NEWS
Sure, the computer hardware market is in fiery shambles, likely by design, because data centers gave them the perfect excuse to ruin the market and assert their corpo control of supply in various ways
HOWEVER
I scored new brakes for my car at half price thanks to sales so LFG 🎉

You mean we'd have some confirmation that the people we elect to public office actually work for us and are accountable for their heinous illegalities under the Constitution and about 2,000 years of established law and order?!

As a once-married man to an emotionally abusive adultress, I hope my wedded friends see the financial investments I've made in the last 15 years and realize I only managed that because I didn't have someone taking 4/5 of my income.
Maybe now they'll stop trying to set me up on dates I don't want.

Look, I've been single for 15 years and branded an 'incel' for it.
Last I checked, I'm not presenting myself as a sociopolitical martyr like this pint-sized piece of shit has.
And don't think for a second that every session with my therapist reminds me I'm doing something right.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

I wish I could say I'm surprised by this development.
But a decade ago, I watched MAGA libertarians in central WA tell an entire city that if they had to pay for a new public high school, kids should have to learn in a pole barn.
Their 'big confinement' kink is evident years later.

While waiting for my car to get its new stereo upgrade today, I managed to do something I wasn't entirely sure would happen again.
Cranked out 1,100+ words of a totally new short story in about two hours.
Even better, I'm in a good spot where I want to get it done ASAP.

Sadly so.
Most of my family went full MAGA years ago.
I didn't.
Nor did a lot of other Patriot fans.
Unfortunately, we live in a time where painting everyone with the broadest brush possible gets you more likes/clicks than acknowledging nuance, context and differentiation.

It's such low hanging fruit to assume all Patriots fans are Trumpists, therefore everyone should hate them.
It's also bullshit.
Been a fan nearly 50 years. I don't feel bad for them, because they have six in the case.
That's six more than I ever thought I'd see.
They had a great season, regardless.

Feeling sorry for the team that lost the Superbowl is like feeling sorry for someone who wins a silver medal at the Olympics, or an Oscar nominee who doesn't win.
Oh, I'm so sorry you're...number two in the NFL and made all that money. That must be so much worse than not getting to the Superbowl.

As a born/raised New Englander, a lifelong Patriots fan & an unabashed liberal, the only reason I ever want Jerry Jones to win another Super Bowl is so all the MAGA-fuckwads who hijacked my team's bandwagon go back to being Cowboys fans again.

Fair play to the Seahawks. They were the better team and that defense is merciless.
My Pats hung tough for about 3 qtrs. The O-line needs work and Drake's not there yet.
I'm happy for Darnold, McDonald, JSN and KW3.
I'm even happier they stomped the 49ers, then won it in their house.
