There's this awkward thing that happens to all musicians at some point. They get good enough that it becomes difficult to play anything at all.

As your skill increases, so do your standards. So everything you play feels mediocre. The weirdest part is that this "mediocre" performance is better than anything you were doing before. You've just moved the goalposts as you improved.

Did you know that if you start playing All Star by Smashmouth at exactly 11:54:39 on New Year's Eve, then you're the kind of person who voluntarily listens to All Star by Smashmouth.

There is a reason the 14th Amendment prohibits violent insurrectionists from running on the ballot. Because anything that doesn't result in disqualification is a valid election strategy.

Hi Alex,

"Transgenderism" doesn't exist. The suffix "-ism" is given to groups of people who have coalesced around a set of core ideological ideas.

There is no such "core ideology" in the case of trans people. The things that group us together are the twin facts:
1. We are trans.
2. We exist.

"Transgenderism" is a slur invented by transphobes in an attempt to negate one or both of those facts by reframing it as if it is a mere opinion worthy of debate.

Holy fucking shit the bar for political discourse in this nation has sunk so low that it is now at "Just Say Four True Words About Slavery" and somehow Republicans have still managed to fuck it up.

If a cisgender person gets upsetti spaghetti because you used the Latin prefix cis- to describe them, I think the best thing to do is comply with their request and use the Greek synonyms homo- (same) and hetero- (different) instead.

Problemo solved, my homogender buddy.

Last Christmas I gave you a hug
Then I tried to eat your face but you ran away

Your YA fantasy series name is:

A [Where You'll Be On New Years Eve]
of [The Last Thing You Ate]
and [Tomorrow's Weather Forecast]

I'll go first.
A House of Bean Dip and Fog

Nice try, "Santa".

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But no one ever recalls
Any female reindeer names at all
Because the Patriarchy routinely erases women from history

Um actually I believe it's pronounced Christmas jifts

2024 is an election year, so be prepared to start seeing the phrase "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" creep back into conversation.

This is your gentle reminder that this is an impossible position. You cannot be socially liberal and then refuse to pay for the socially liberal programs.

Gross incompetence is 144 times worse than regular incompetence.
