My wife gave birth to the most perfect baby girl the other day. Mom and baby are both happy and healthy. It’s been a wild few days, but the early returns on parenthood are pretty fucking great, and I know this because every time I look into my daughter’s eyes I start crying at how beautiful she is.

but they 100% were not the best.

We need to stop valorizing the “Greatest Generation.” “But they won WWII!” No their WWI-veterans leaders did.

GG responsible for Vietnam.

GG resisted Civil Rights.

They were racist, misogynistic, homophobic addicts who raised the worst generation in history (Boomers).

They weren’t the

I didn’t even do anything to you man wth

I’m sorry but Bostonians will never be serious people with shit like this. They’re never beating the allegations.

The Fox News chyron for the last 20 minutes has been GOAL ORIENTED: US MILITARY WORKING TOWARD OBJECTIVES because there are no objectives and even their slobbering viewers know it

It is not. Fukuyama was a daft idiot then and he’s a daft idiot now. His book is popular with sophomoric clown shows who like to talk theory but don’t understand it. You are the perfect rube.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant.

It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.

Didn’t have any smoked salmon, but a tin of Alaskan salmon in water with some cream cheese and capers on a bagel never did any harm.

These two paragraphs are particularly telling to me. People are tired of the endless glut of politicos writing “how we got here” books and of online-famous people getting book deals on their perceived ability to be interesting.

Recruiters: "Make sure you tailor your application to each job. Make it personal. Make it real. Give it that huan touch; don't use AI."

Also recruiters: "Yeah I ain't reading that." *uses AI to arbitrarily reject 99% of applicants*

Only an Act of Congress can fix the job market now.

Plus we’re doing it without our best player who’s a sure-fire lotto pick. Like, I can deal with that.

I look forward to it every year.

There’s always one. Always. Fucking plastic Paddies…

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

Nope. Wrong. Get off my timeline and get fucked.

As we approach Saint Patrick’s Day, it’s time for my annual, friendly, reminder that the Irish were never slaves so stop it with your bullshit about how “there was white slavery in America, too!” because no the fuck there wasn’t.

Anyone else have a writing sweet spot that they operate in, but outside of that are totally worthless? For me, I do my best writing in the first 6 hours after waking. After that, evening editing becomes a real challenge. 0600-1200 is perfect. 1900? 2000? Basically impossible.

Ok so this is significant. The largest U.S. military hospital outside CONUS is suspending certain operations to prioritize the treatment of combat injuries.

There are a lot more U.S. casualties than is being reported.

I am ALL ABOUT this.

We are effectively carpet bombing a city of 15 million people.

We are not the good guys in this.

One of my students just said that Thomas Jefferson was the vice president under Lincoln and that’s why Reconstruction failed.

I just…

What a fucking loser to talk like that.

Thank you, sir. Just doing my best to honor the legacy. 🫡

Oh course I am. Step ins with rubber soles.

Peak professor vibes.

So now we’re sinking Iranian warships? Just full-on naval warfare eh? JFC what a stupid fucking time to be alive.
