To know why my generation is cynical, remember that one day we're innocently reading a Batman book, and we get this. Pay calls to vote yea/nay on a teenager to snuff it. (I only voted once, not enough to save Robin, but did force explanation of a 900# charge on phone bill to incredulous parents)

What movie do you consider perfect?

...and Dean managed to kill Hitler.

This POS has his finger on the trigger. While engaging in a physical confrontation. This is some cartoonish Imperial Stormtroopers level of "bad at this." Dangerous and Irresponsible as hell. They just don't care.

The acceptability of political violence has been a hot topic recently. At what point does a person's behavior become so heinous that it's justified to use violence to prevent further harm? I must conclude that summary execution is appropriate for whomever does the diagrams for IKEA kit furniture.

Under no circumstances should anyone have ever fucked Charlie Kirk. He was an index example of better living through Lysisyrata-ing. What? Oh. Yes, colloquialisms. My old nemesis. Fair enough.

You gotta find your silver linings somewhere. I may be a middle aged autistic dude with several highly unamusing character flaws, but... At least I don't have to live my life being so fragile as to have lost my damn mind over the "unapologetically relentless biting satire" of... Jimmy Kimmel.

Yup. Noted Fascism indicator... *Checks notes* similes.

You ever read something so stupid that you get Peter Falk eye?

How do the Catholics and Mormons that have thrown in their lot with this regime not understand that - the moment they're no longer useful to the evangelical/corporate/fascist axis - they'll be up against the wall themselves faster than you can say "Martin Niemoller"?

It's fascinating that - in addition to being the right and humane things to do - caring for your people almost always delivers a solid positive ROI.

"The Coeds' charms, I fought to chill. I held strong by force of will. But even I succumbed to thrill, By the strength of this little blue pill."

Today's absolutely amazing find in comic back issue bins. One of my favorite characters, in full Kirby glory. This cover is art. Hell, there's brilliance to be found in each and every panel.

That #10 for Miami is kinda reminiscent of a young Paul Rothrock.

Law School Prof, first day discussing defamation: "If you confuse 'Actual Malice' with 'Really disliking somebody', you will fail the exam." Actual fucking attorney in actual fucking written word:

Donating Plasma this morning. I don't remember the Voight Kampff exam being part of the screening process. They might be beginning to suspect.

Having a spouse who was a nationally recognized SME on homelessness policy, this is a fairly common opinion. Recall the man at a town hall who said "we should just put them all on a rocket, and send it to the moon". He saw the lack of oxygen as a feature of this plan.

Introducing kid to X-Men Evolution cartoon. While not perfect, it's fun. And the early seasons definitely nail the "Scott Summers as brainwashed child soldier" vibe that I've always preferred in his characterization.

It can't be a coincidence that a whole bunch of societal norms were obliterated right around the time that George Wendt died.

VA hospital appointments are a fine reminder of the irony that no group vocally hates the idea of participation trophies more than Vietnam vets. They are also not big fans of having this pointed out.

I mean, sure. Leo Messi is pretty good, but he's no Paul Rothrock.

The idea of ever holding copies of these, let alone owning them would've blown 8 year old Jeph's mind. Even 75% of those Kirby covers are works of absolute masterpieces.

Watching Columbo. I find Peter Falk's character quite relatable, as I -also- solve most of my problems by being so consistently aggravating that most people will eventually find the prospect of being dragged away in handcuffs preferable to enduring even 30 seconds of further interaction with me.

Made the mistake of reading r/sovereigncitizen this morning. Can't think of a better (and more poetic) punishment for these people than having to actually sit through a law school course on UCC.

Brian is a patient man... His boys? They're a tad protective of their leader.

Averaged a goal every 6.5 minutes. Against a team with that wage sheet. Lesson learned: Don't disrespect Brian. Show up for the second half on time, or he'll let them do that to you.

I just made a joke about Fonzie to a Baby Boomer, and got only a blank stare in response. Is it possible that spending my youth doing intense study of UHF television rather than developing human social skills was somehow a mistake? No. No, it is the children who are wrong.

To folks telling me it's not okay to celebrate hogan's death. Owen Hart Eddie Guerrero Curt Hennig C**s B***it (+Nancy and Daniel) Randy Savage Crash Holly And far too many more All had limited access to care or safety standards that may have saved their lives if hogan hadn't scabbed in 1986.

I love how today is also turning into an unofficial day of celebration for Iron Sheik, Jesse Ventura, Jake Roberts, Black wrestlers, unions, and others. There’s hope in that.

Clarence Darrow to the White Courtesy Phone. “I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure” Farewell, you rancid, pathological lying, steroid-addled, racist, rapist, scab, and face like a discount catchers mitt motherfucker.

Finally saw Superman yesterday. Yesterday was also the anniversary of my father's death. At the end, the cancer had largely robbed him of speech. I never got to hear that he was proud of me. When Jon Kent said it in the movie, I -was- the kid on the back porch. For a brief moment, I was okay.

VAR has announced in response to that studs up tackle against De La Vega's leg from the San Jose goalie, a red card has been issued to Clint Dempsey

Sounders/ECS folks. I just posted another lot of stuff (some of it going all the way back to the NASL days) on my FB page. Feel Like Helping us out without that pesky buying things element? You can still donate to the GoFundMe. gofund.me/364c212d

"I'm going alone" is Michigandese for "Leeeeeeeroooooooy Jenkins!!" I will be taking no follow-up questions on this.

Driving my 14yo to their grandmother's yesterday, we got on the topic of midlife crises. "What did you do in your midlife crisis, dad?" "Ummm... I bought a house and went to Law School." The look of shame and disappointment on this kid's face at this confirmation of how lame their father is...

This is the sort of treatment veterans only expect at the VA. (With the mental health clusterfuck amongst vets, it's only a matter of time before one of us decides that it's worth it to take other folks with them in a suicide on the news) Add to that the VA is pushing out their good providers...

The 45B dollar Ice/Stasi bill works out to roughly 135 bucks per capita. We're paying for our friends, neighbors, and fellow humans to be kidnapped and disappeared. May Godzilla Have Mercy on our Souls.

While I understand the rhetoric, I do not call these people Na*is. For me, that is insufficient. These people are just "Ordinary Men". And if they'd ever cracked a book in their lives, they might could understand that is ever so much more damning.

Arkell v. Pressdram sighting.

Loving our day at Capital City Comic Con. (Although I tapped out and bailed on the costume after 4 hours in Michigan summer)

Saw a post on another Social Media site that said "In a World of Glenn Jacobses, be a Kane." Now I'm just confused. But I've been choke slamming people, just in case.

For the expression "X = The number of walls I would run through in order to hear Coach Schmetzer refer to me as 'a tough kid'" The value of X is "All of them".

*Opens Facebook, alert to reply for (what I thought) a neutral remark of how both France & US could be great if refocused to Enlightenment mottos... Reply is a slavering paean to Marshal Petán* Even those who learned from history seem eager to repeat it. Where's the shutdown switch for reality?

Dear God, man. Those poor sentences had families.

What movie did you see way too young?

Respect to Nancy, and the Columbus players, for prioritizing the important thing. All the love and hopes for @stefan24frei.bsky.social . We love you, big wall.

We still don't know exactly what a Paulrothrock is, but that was perfect.

One of my favorite things to tell beginner soccer players has been "you did the hard part in order to get into the right spot for a shot. We can work on the shot, and that goal will come, as long as we keep doing that movement." That's beginners and U10s. Musovski and Ferreira? You're getting paid.

Moneymaking sca... idea. Wonder if I could sell people on a PPV match, "Banquo vs. Cena", for the just the cost of borrowing a gopro and my daughter's toy WWE ring. If you want to keep me from committing the silliest and lowest effort fraud ever, please chip in on our Godundme? gofund.me/f852d4cc

Wait... Vitek Vanacek is a free agent? The @seattlekraken.com have the chance to do the funniest thing. #KrakenLegend
