I suppose I can drop my 36 1/2 grudge against Scott Adams now.
Dilbert was everything I despised about stripping. Bland, simple drawings a kindygartner could do. Bland jokes about a bland life at a bland job.

The world is an unstoppable shit show. The current Axis of Evil of Trump, Putin, and Nuttinyoohoo are setting the world on fire, and nobody's stopping them.
But there is the second Idle Race album (specifically the Jeff Lynne songs,) so there is that.

January 6th reminds me how many stupid mother fuckers in this country re-elected that stupid mother fucker who sent an army of stupid mother fuckers to overthrow the government in the name of that stupid mother fucker.
Stupid mother fuckers.

Oh, and Epstein files.

I'm starting to understand the appeal of adding my name to things I had absolutely nothing to do with!
I gotta say, the lads were a great help to me on this album. Couldn't have done it without them!

Democrats lost in Tennessee by a slim margin.
And they're celebrating.

I can't think of anything more Democratic Party than, "YAY! We lost by a little!!!"

"I refuse to shop at any store that says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas."

That's a weird way to say, "I don't like the Jews, and they don't deserve to have their winter holidays recognized."

Roasted turkey tastes like construction paper.
