When the governor says our rights are being violated

and the mayor says our rights are being violated

and the lawyers are saying our rights are being violated

and federal judges are saying our rights are being violated

and the police chiefs are saying our rights are being violated

and the local cops are saying our rights are being violated

but DHS - the assholes who're doing all the violating - insist they aren't ...

maybe our rights are being violated

and maybe our government is nine kinds of fucked up.

Zoologists are reporting that bats

We're not the land of the free right now

If you're still supporting Republicans,

you're either a traitor or an idiot.

Anything else,

and you're just makin' shit up.

Look At Yourself

• When a young girl is raped, and you defend the rapist.
• When a guy shoots and kills a woman on the street, and you defend the shooter.
• When a guy is being totally disrespectful of the women around him, and you say nothing.

• Your cynicism doesn't make you interesting.
• Your smug dismissal of anything that moves normal people to feel sorrow doesn't make you manly.
• Your support for somebody who gets a kick out of pushing people around sure as fuck doesn't make you strong.

Women see and hear your reactions to the shitty things going on all around us - especially when you cheer it on, or you just shrug it off with some stupid epithet that you think is cute.

You're not being clear-eyed and pragmatic - you're being an asshole.

So the "crisis of male loneliness" isn't because there's a problem with women - it's because women are very much aware of what a big fuckin' jerk you are.

Down the road, we'll hear the glad tidings that Trump is dead and gone, that this fledgling plutocracy will have been beaten back into the shadows, and we'll enjoy an occasional slow-news day again, while every MAGA prick will be telling us they were against all this shit the whole time.

Try not to worry about all those giant AI data centers being built in depressed rural communities.

We can count on the locals to fight back by breaking into them and stealing all the copper.

It's really not all that hard to understand what a woman wants.

Once you figure out what color the letter 7 smells like, you've got it made. Piece o' cake, bubba.

When Trump is finally dead and gone, he won't be going to heaven, but about 10,000 NDAs will be freed up, and we'll really start to learn just what a truly miserable, shitty human being he was.

If you ever feel like you're a shitty parent, just remember that at least you're not out doing a months-long press tour while your kids are at home trying to process the very public, very violent death of their dad.

Overheard

It was a long hard day, and I needed a little perspective, so I called my 83-year-old dad and asked him if things had always been this difficult.

There was a pause, and then he said, "No, and I'm glad I won't be here much longer."

Good luck out there, kids.

Flight Attendant:

Is there a doctor on board?

My Dad (nudging me):

That should've been you.

Me:

Not now, Dad.

My Dad:

Notice how they're not asking for a Graphic Designer.

Me:

Dad, there's a medical emergency happening right now.

My Dad:

Why don't you run up there and save him as a PDF file and see what happens.
