I wanna have two pet donkeys. I’ll name one of the Xoté and the other one Shane. Or Hodie and Schön?

It’s crazy to me that an entire city is named after those Pepperidge farm cookies.

Hey manbun, I’m not even saying you shouldn’t look at your phone while riding at high speed on a high traffic road. I just think you should wear a helmet.

The term “strongman” only works ironically. Nothing illustrates weakness more clearly than an inability to tolerate criticism and dissent. A head of state who uses threats of prosecution, violence, and retaliation to silence critics, dissidents, and journalists is not a leader. They are a despot.

Crime, including violent crime, has been steadily falling in Washington DC since a covid-era surge that peaked in 2020. If anybody tries to attribute the decline to actions that began in 2025, it’s crucial that you call them a liar to their face.

The next time you’re in a position to use the cliche “Not gonna lie” (as in “Not gonna lie: I’m scared!”) you could flip it around in a way that means the same thing and is less stale: “I’m gonna lie: Not scared!”

Let’s make sure everybody is clear that “strongman” only makes sense ironically. Any crackpot despot who can’t abide peaceful protestors without calling in the marines is in fact a weakman.

Why will nobody simply tell Gen Z that a lavaliere microphone is meant to clip onto your lapel, collar, or other clothes so you don’t have to hold it in your hand while you describe the microagressions of the neurotypical liberal capitalists? I think they would appreciate it, but I may be wrong.

You guys, I just found out that the black smoke from the Sistine Chapel is the same black smoke from Lost. Until they elect a new Pope-o-Rome, there’s nobody who can enter Hurley’s winning lottery numbers into the computer in the Vatican hatch every hundred and eighteen minutes.

The very polite and helpful sales gal at Paper & Tea waited until she finished signing me up for their loyalty program before telling me the store is closing in a week.

Children know how to pronounce the word “owl” 🦉 correctly. And towel. At some sad age, society grinds them down until they submit to replacing the final syllable’s ō sound with that responsible grown-up L sound. To what end?

Remember, the term “strongman” only applies to despots ironically. Strong men don’t respond to criticism by arresting their critics, derailing their economies, defunding their universities, or deporting their citizens. These are weak men, neither novel nor noteworthy in the nature of their weakness.

If haters gonna hate and players gonna play, it follows that taters gonna tate, rivers gonna riv, and fingers gonna fing. We’ve covered this already. So does it follow then that shoulders gonna should?
Not necessarily, but they should.

Shoulders should should.

Electric cars should have standard auxiliary bays to hold rented, fast-swap, range-extending battery packs in addition to their fixed internal batteries. When extra range isn’t needed, the bay could hold a cargo bin instead. Fast-swap batteries would overcome range anxiety, allow “instant” charging.
