Most of the time I think the social internet was a mistake. But on days like today, Christmas, I still think that.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

When did the internet become almost nothing but people trying to justify all their questionable, occasionally demonstrably bad and/or insane choices? Y’all, I’m so tired.

Love how winter comes around every year and says "I know you think you broke yourself of the gross, childish habit of nose-picking but no you did not."

Why is ANYONE shocked that Tr*mp said exactly what he thought about Rob Reiner’s murder? People really don’t understand they elected a psychopath.

The New York Times lately is a great example of trying to hide rampant enshittification behind a staid, outdated “house voice.”

A measure of MAGA insanity will be them acting like Turnip’s “peace prize” or whatever is a totally normal thing and not some insane and sad tinpot dictator bullshit. There is no universe where such a thing isn’t pitiful. If anything, it underscores how bizarre these times really are.

Having lived in Roswell for eight years, all I can say is HOLY SHIT. This could be *massive*.
One of the first Georgia Tea Party rallies (if not the first) happened at the Roswell City Hall, y’all. This is the bellwether.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.
(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

So it’s safe to say that my kitty Velma has become an opera fan. She comes and sits with me when I rehearse, even big rep with sustained high notes. And here she is listening to of the greatest Verdi interpreters ever and grooming me like it’s a spa day for us both.

lol @ Gen Z, those quirky, hilarious kids giving up booze because calories & hangovers but picking up cigarettes because vaping tobacco is “cringe.”

No dog in this hunt, as my wife & I are about to celebrate our 25th anniversary, but reading online what younger folks say about dating now is *really* depressing. Guys are learning totally maladaptive behaviors from male influencers; women are running into a nonstop barrage of dumb shit from guys.

I just had this idea for an “Influencer in Hell” social feed, and it’s just perky, vertical video ads of some way too polished-looking idiot pimping pitchforks, trips to a lake of fire, and Crocs.

It’s a certain kind of 7am mood when you’re scrolling an algorithmic “For You” feed and 90% of the posts make you think “OMG everyone just STFU.”

We live in a time that has me switching between proud that I might live a long time due to improved health, good habits and nutrition, and some good genes—and terrified that I might live a long time because there’s even more of this bullshit to come.
