Maybe I am showing how much of a grumpy old man I've become, but I really don't like seeing sports and entertainment fluffing of Saudi Arabia and Qatar this decade the way both fluffed up China the last decade.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.
I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.
If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.

We all, at times, are the son who stayed with the father in the parable of the prodigal son, and we all need to be reminded that it’s good for the “undeserving” person to be treated well. We have all been underserving at times too.

i was having a nightmare that otto needed to go to the emergency vet but the entire dream got derailed when a bus full of carthusian monks arrived with their sick dog named jenny. the rest of the dream was just me sitting in the waiting room watching 20 monks silently pray the rosary for a dog.

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
