  1. He bakes his brisket. He ain’t doing shit.
  2. You should’ve diced some jalapeños and put them in the dip.
  3. Your oversized font sucks donkey taint.
  4. Help me, Alexandria. You're my only hope.
  5. These aren't the droids lesbians we're looking for.
  6. Starting to pour downtown.
  7. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. On second thought . . . .
  8. How's yours coming along? At the 10,000 word mark yet?
  9. Yeah, but you have to be pretty damn smart even to play on the football team in Palo Alto, so they have a good chance for an upset at Kyle.
  10. Don't worry. The admissions and training standards for ICE agents will be top notch.
  11. If I’m not out of the office, that’s essentially been my lunch for the past several years. Coconut milk base, peanut butter, flax oil, flax or chia seed, scoop of protein powder, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and a bunch of spinach. I get in a ton of fiber, healthy fats, protein, and greens, and instead of spending an hour or more going to a restaurant like I did in my younger days, I can use that time to leave work a little earlier.
  12. We talkin’ ‘bout practice sauce.
  13. He’s in the Grifter Hall of Fame.
  14. Oh fucking Christ.
  15. The constant barrage of texts and emails from his first failed campaign built up such a relationship between us that the second go-around my spam filters let him straight through.
  16. I do it about once a week, but on an elliptical. 30 second sprints with a minute rest in between for 15 minutes, followed by about 10 minutes of lower body stretching, then some quick core work to finish. It’s a nice break in the middle of my weight training.
  17. I wonder if aggy reads this post and the "award" in the same condescending and satirical tone that I do.
  18. Currently reading. I've known much about his life and mission in the many documentaries I've seen about the civil rights movement, but have never taken a deep dive. He was truly an incredible man, and his disciplined commitment to nonviolent opposition is still inspiring. And I know the older I get the less I'm aware of how many more years ago the Jim Crow era was still firmly established in American life. But it still seems like only a short while ago in our nation's history that America was unabashedly shitting all over the Black population, backed by our legal institutions and elected leaders. The writer doesn't hold back on his extra-marital affairs, which were more numerous than I had understood. And it's amazing how brazen the FBI was at the time in obtaining information on those affairs through extensive wiretapping. It's also a remarkable commentary of that time that the FBI shared with certain media outlets some of those tapes in which King was talking to his mistresses or to other men about his sexual exploits, and nobody in the press wanted to publish them. Today, the media would be blasting that in lightening speed. I'm about 70% through, and I'm surprised MLK made it to 1968.
  19. Goddam our state Democratic party is a huge piece of dysfunctional shit.
  20. I have a shitload of invermectin paste leftover from the pandemic.
