My back hurts, but in a different way than yours

“Family first” doesn’t mean ‘all others, be damned’.

It means get your own house in order before you start analyzing someone else’s.

At this point, saying Trump’s awful isn’t even political; it’s globally recognized fact.

You either perpetuate the best of our flawed humanity, or the worst of it. The labels and religious institutions don’t mean much on their own.

Let’s be clear: bullies are just insecure kids who have been mistreated and cannot fathom an act of de-escalation.

Let’s stop talking about people who don’t deserve it. This ‘popular for being popular’ culture doesn’t cut it if the people are low-quality, non-intellectuals.

Once again, I find myself asking: how did we just sit back and allow Linkin Park to be shoved down our throats as if they were a good band?

A good band doesn’t have pitchy vocals and beginner guitar riffs.

This is what happens when being an ‘L.A.-based’ band creates an exaggeratedly high profile.

An ‘alpha’ doesn’t create (and leave) problems for the next person to come
along.

- me, to my 13yr old son, who refuses to properly install a fresh toilet paper roll when one runs out.

Nope. It turns out “generational wealth & inheritance” was always the answer.

Imagine being proud of your Nazi ancestors and their racist beliefs?

Stop being afraid of other cultures having similar privileges to yourself.

It’s sad that people have become scalpers for toys and collectible hotwheels.

If your side hustle keeps things out of reach of kids or less-serious buyers, you’re part of the problem.

Let people enjoy things.

Looking ‘tough’ means nothing without true mental fortitude. Kids need to know this.

At this rate; in this political environment…I’m not sure I want to be an exceptional example of longevity.

Dudes who wear nice clothes to get their hair cut make no sense to me. It’ll just get covered in tiny hairs

Things will improve when people stop taking themselves so seriously.

You shouldn’t have to convince yourself that you’re exceptional in order to enjoy your life.

Thought about it for a little too long and realized that the name Chevrolet comes from the French Chevalier, which means “horseman”.

As a Nerd, raised by a nerd (who was raised by another nerd), it cannot be overstated how important and effective a college education is to every person of every background.

It provides the closest thing to a true meritocracy.

The most popular video games are fun, but they aren’t a productive way to deal with boredom.

Creative games & hobbies, on the other hand…

It’s important to note:

The most persistent cultural touchstones (food, art, humor and music) did NOT come from people in positions of wealth or power.

Diversity IS mental fortitude; it IS creativity; it IS strength.

I’ve decided I only need to live into my late 70s.

My kids will be in their 40s by then and I won’t have to see them age into their 50s.

You ever just take some time to watch an old, but great film?

The Sound of Music is forever gold.

It makes me feel old, to know it so well.

Imagine taking any inspiration from a Kardashian

Dunno if I was raised in a rare bubble, but I remember growing up in a time when gambling was for scumbags. Now it seems every sports fan with a job is betting on everything under the sun.

I feel old just saying this (I’m only 43)…

Whatever happened to that hopeful, genuine love of the game?

Doc Brown’s line in the 2015 version of Hill Valley:

“The Justice system works swiftly in the future now that they’ve abolished all lawyers!”

Oh, how I wish we could abolish the types of lawyers who support corporate greed and grifters like Trump.

AI really IS going to be the thing that kills higher education.

People are no longer wiling to do the work (or the thinking, or planning.

I hate this timeline with a passion.

I’m wondering whether a potential democratic nominee would even feel safe running or campaigning out in the open after all of these Right wing calls for violence and retaliation.

Trump isn’t in danger. We, the majority of sensible Americans are in danger.
