I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

I have a bunch of new followers - seriously, thank you, truly - so here's a few posts about me if you're new here.
I run a name-your-own-price, pay-whatever-you-can law practice in Illinois, USA, doing eviction defense, criminal defense, foreclosure defense, and family cases.

I read recently that only about 20% of people who use social media regularly post. And we all know that the algo amplifies only the most shrill or controversial of posts. As such, the world looks a lot more cruel and inhumane on social media than it is in reality.
Why is it necessary to judge and condemn men for being lonely? I don't get that.
I've experienced some intense periods of loneliness in my life and it was bad stuff. There's no need to dump on people for that.
Liberals have nothing positive to say about men. Tiresome business.

I’m sitting here awaiting the 3rd MRI on my knee in 7 months. I have *very* low tolerance/patience for my own frailty, so this presents an opportunity for growth. Another opportunity for growth: I seek novice-level #bodybuilding & #mobility training programs to forestall further decline. Any recs?

why am I tearing up over an ad about bus lanes?
As Zohran’s detractors keep smearing him - he stays on message about changes that make material improvements to people’s lives.
That aren’t being addressed by the opponent.
And gives a live example of how well it can work (20 blocks away!)
Masterclass.

I'm not nearly as excited by any other mayoral candidate as I am disgusted by Cuomo. He is vile. Whatever else happens today, I will not be ranking Cuomo. In case anyone was asking. 🤡

His life was like any other American 57-yr-old's, really. His days were spent transporting cadavers, before coming home to his best friend from 4th grade. Sometimes, he'd talk to his wife on the phone. In his spare time, frequent trips to Congo to preach against the evils of the debauched west

Stepped into an NYC elevator.
One floor down, Bono enters. Passengers take pains not to gawk.
One floor down, a UPS driver steps in. "Hello, Mr. Bono!" he says brightly.
When we emerge it's raining buckets.
UPS Guy: "It's NOT such a beautiful day, is it, Mr. Bono?"
Bono turns slowly… and grins.

Like every previous David Brooks column I’ve read, I agree with his opening thesis - this is not business as usual, so business as usual solutions won’t get us anywhere - but not his conclusions. 🙄🙄
