It’s a bitter pill for the left that they have Trump as their foil and still come off as the bad guys.
My advice for taking on Trump is don’t be worse than him, but no one listens to me, the smartest man on the internet.

Remember in January when we were freaking out that WWIII was going to start because Trump blew up some Iranian general?
Simpler times.

That samurai game is PlayStation only? Come on, man. Why does Sony keep stealing joy from we PC gamers?

All the billionaire obsessives seem like some weird species of Karen.
“Help! Police! I saw someone walking around with more money than he should have!”
“And how it is affecting you?”
“It just is!”
You have way more than most people throughout human history. You can choose to focus on someone who has way more than you, but that’s just choosing to be ungrateful and miserable.

I’d be more annoyed at how picky an eater my 4yo is if her favorite food wasn’t beans and rice.

What’s so bizarre about the cancel culture people, is that most people when they hear a terrible opinion just go “What a terrible opinion.” What’s hard to understand is this Nazi/Soviet impulse that everyone who disagrees with you is evil and must be destroyed.
Who even has time to go after people like that? Don’t you have a job? Or at least an Xbox?

Letting people run rampant destroying things is also oppression.

They’re not so much “anti-racists” as much more bizarre racists.

You know those canvas money sacks you only see in cartoons? I once had a real one of those, but instead of a big dollar sign on it, it had the words “DO NOT REMOVE FROM BANK.”
I used to keep my money in it as a teenager. I didn’t trust the banks. They couldn’t even keep track of their canvas sacks.

Have there been any interviews with rioters? Like them explaining why they’re looting a Target or setting fire to a random business in their own words?

If it’s so uncomfortable wearing a mask, why did we never hear ninjas complain about them?

The government should just pass a law saying someone has to make a vaccine.

The idea of Cancel Culture is that a few hateful weirdos get to dictate what’s acceptable discourse by randomly mobbing and terrorizing people so everyone is too afraid to dissent. Some say this is a bad idea.

Been finally watching that Mandalorian documentary series on Disney+. It’s been really interesting, but man you have to see the 4th episode about the technology used. It’s mind-blowing. I had no idea how revolutionary it was.
I was remarking to my wife, “They didn’t seem to use much CGI.” I was wrong. Basically every scene. But the big difference is they didn’t do it in post.
Now I want to rewatch the entire series just knowing how it was filmed.

Why do people always talk about killing baby Hitler? If I went back in time, I think I’d feel a lot less guilty to kill teenage Hitler. That teenage punk probably deserved it.

My kids’ current favorite song is the first one King George sings in Hamilton.

I have a “new name” for President Trump: President Rump… ‘cause he’s a butt!
Pelosi can have that if she wants.

A lot of people out there should be protesting their own awfulness before they worry about protesting the awfulness of others.

People are adamantly opposed to past slavery. It’s about the biggest evil anyone can imagine.
As for current slavery, people are pretty “meh” about that.

If Joe Biden is elected, it could destroy America. Biden has vowed in his first 100 days to collide America with an equal mass of anti-America.

If they wanted the 1619 Project to be more popular, maybe they shoulda put some wizards in it like that JK lady who thinks biology is real.

Who are your favorite fictional billionaires? Mine are Batman, Scrooge McDuck, and Elon Musk.

Expect the government to educate your kids about as well as they do anything else.

Neither choice for 2020 is going to destroy or save America, so try not to get all worked up about it.

“Well, we can’t both be called ‘Virginia,’ so you change your name to ‘West Virginia’ and we’ll change ours to ‘East Virginia.’”
“Okay. And we’ll change our names at the same time?”
“Yep.”

If a man likes cats, there’s a 60% chance he’s a Bond villain.

If I were at the tech hearing, I’d ask about the coming crisis of us running out of ones. I’m not an idiot — I know you can’t run out of zeroes. But the country only has so many ones.

ME: “Who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark?”
MY 4yo: “Jesus.”

This might be my all-time favorite picture of me.

I need to come up with a good name for my emergency coffee: Starbucks Vias shaken up in a bottle of room temperature water.

Seeing who celebrates the death of political opponents is a good way of identifying who are basically Nazis/Soviets without the ability.

If you disagree with me on anything, you are denying my existence and basically trying to kill me.

I’m still not sure what tik tok is so I agree with Trump banning it. Just seems like the safe thing to do.

All the people having to keep argue “Kneeling during the anthem isn’t about disrespecting the country” seem like a cousin once removed from “The Confederate flag isn’t about celebrating slavery” people.

Not to get all racial, but I think a big mistake of any civil rights movement is letting white leftists participate. They will take it over and make it about stupid nonsense.

“So there is this thing Zoomers like and…”
“BAN IT!”

It kind of feels like everyone participating in allowable protest for the NBA are just giving cover to oppression in China.

My 4yo: “I’m like Alexander Hamilton. I’m HUNGRY!”

So we actually have a Space Force now? When do we get a space war?

Millennials don’t like that the person who got less votes can win the presidency because of the electoral college but they’re fine with the Quidditch team with less goals winning because they got the golden snitch. I’ll tell you which one is dumber.

They should do an updated version of the Punisher where instead of his family being killed by the mob he’s out for revenge after being canceled.

We’ve been carefully playing some selections from Hamilton for the kids, and we knew some questions were eventually coming.
“What’s a bastard?”
“What’s a son of a whore?”

Yeah. I wanted to wish someone “Happy Biden.” Good job, autocomplete.

As much as people complain, everyone who leaves earth eventually comes back.

Remember to spend time each day thanking God for all you have.
If you can’t be happy with what you have now, you’d still be miserable if you had a thousand times more.

Excusing protests and certain large memorials shows the left is as actually concerned about coronavirus as they are with climate change.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Our country’s mission statement. Do we still all believe this?

There aren’t any new truths we need to advance. There’s just old ones we need to stop ignoring.

Rap is poisoning our kids’ minds. My son just said Alexander Hamilton could beat Batman in a fight.

Fishing is fun because it seems like this harebrained scheme and it’s always surprising when it succeeds.
“I’m going to put a piece of food on a hook tied to a string and then pull in a fish when it bites it.”
“That’ll never work.”

Half of AOC’s tweets are attempts to explain why the other half aren’t as dumb as everyone thinks they are.

A good Biden tweet would be: “I won’t write embarrassing tweets because I don’t even know what Twitter is (a staffer I never interact with wrote this).”

I guess I need to read more about the civil right movement. I honestly don’t know anything about John Lewis beyond him being a mindlessly partisan Democrat — which is quite the opposite of impressive.
If you want a legacy, though, I highly highly recommend staying out of partisan politics.
Anyway, I will endeavor to learn more about the young John Lewis, who sounds like an impressive individual. Any good book recommendations?

I guess… um… I guess you have to give Trump credit for taking tough interviews.
I wonder what Trump’s popularity would be if he did all the exact same things but stayed hidden in a basement like Biden with no access to Twitter.

I’m listening to the final version of the Superego: Fathom audiobook (available to the public soon). It really is the best way to really hear your own writing for the first time, though it’s way too late to do anything about it.
