I fake being an extrovert. (he/him)

Inside of me are two wolves. One of them is a raccoon. The other is a possum.

All members of ICE/CBP are stupid, cowardly, inhumane assholes.

There. I said it.
I’m the new director of the Antimemetics Division. it not my first day.

This, but also respect for anyone with something between their face and mine (which is usually masked in indoor spaces).
My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.

Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).

Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

These three, along with "The failure mode of 'clever' is 'asshole'." are very handy tenets.
Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself

1. Does this need to be said

2. Does this need to be said by me

3. Does this need to be said by me right now

It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)
I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

Every time you see “we admit this was a mistake but refuse to rectify it,” you’re looking at a fallen institution.
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.
Texas A&M won’t reinstate fired lecturer despite findings
A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

How is this not armed robbery?
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.
