Had the most middle aged-ass dreams about forgetting to pick my kids up from school and regretting a house purchase because of unresolved water issues.

Who amongst us has not turned their face to God and cried out "the whole world is covered in buttons and not one of them is mine!"

I was 7 when my parents took me to see this in theaters and it's weird how targeted at kids it was. So much murder and horny weirdness! The original comics were brutal murderfests so it wasn't as if the source material was particularly kid friendly. Nevertheless I had the action figures!

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or
weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who
sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless
the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the
joyous; and all for your love's sake.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

Every JD Vance interview:

REPORTER: The president literally declared war on Democrats to military leaders. Do you agree?

JD VANCE: Umm haha what I DISAGREE with is Chuck Schumer telling the American people they have to give their cars over to immigrants. But you wont report it!

Casting reminder! When you cast your mayor, you're getting all this talent for a bargain.

Your mayor as the narrator in Monkeyman Productions' Uncharted Zones

Michael Clayton was released 18 years ago today. Today I reflect on what it says about moral aptitude and what it means to do the right thing.

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.
