I needed this reminder this morning, because even though it's 2025, it still applies.
Bullshit is indeed everywhere. A LOT.
From high-minded pundits to those who think toxic, passive-aggressive manipulation is the way to a healthy relationship.
If you smell something.
SAY something.

The Bruins and the Canadiens tonight was like when I was a kid in the early 80s.

If they're ever built, let history remember the first one as the USS Pedophile.
President Donald Trump announced a new class of battleships to build out what he has dubbed the Navy's "Golden Fleet" that he says will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far -- 100 times -- more powerful than any battleship ever built."

As someone who worked in journalism for 15 years, I've boycotted pretty much all American major news media since the turn of the millennium.
We've gone from seven media conglomerates to four.
If it's not pro-corporate, pro-1% PR spin or celebrity bullshit, it's partisan propaganda.
Fuck all of it.

Nope.

CBS officially lost all credibility the minute they hired Weiss. She's not and never has been a journalist.
She's a rabblerouser with extreme prejudice and partisanship.
Even if she were fired tomorrow (which she should), CBS will need decades to get that credibility back.

This is entirely to please Trump, who has voiced criticism of 60 Minutes under the new owners, who are the definition of rank amatuers, emphasis on rank. This Stephen Miller interview suggestion is idiotic in the context of this story and shows a startling lack of sophistication or smarts.

I've watched boxing for more than 40 years. For someone who touts himself as the ultimate 'alpha male', this piece of shit hits like the absolute bitch he is.
If only his opponent had smashed his jaw like AJ did to Jake Paul. We'd be a much better world today.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan said the nine most terrifying words any American could hear were, 'I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.'
45 years later, we're expected to tolerate the following nine words without question or protest:
'I'm from ICE, and I'm here for your neighbors.'

Time for my semi-regular and totally random reminder that you do not know anything about professional athletes and celebrities behind closed doors, especially not their personalities and beliefs, and that almost all "he's one of the good ones" narratives are entirely invented based on nothing.

My mother abandoned me when I was 12.
I got put on a plane and shipped across the country two days after Christmas in 1989.
She traded being a parent for marrying her 3rd husband, buying her house, and never getting involved in my life again.
I owe her exactly nothing.

First thing I thought of when I woke up this morning:
I live in a world now where if a bona fide cure for cancer was announced tomorrow in the form of a vaccine, at least 1/3 of my country is so stupid and misinformed that they'd reject it outright.
Why? Because the Bible doesn't say cancer's bad.

Over the course of my life, I've seen firsthand the US become the cronyist oligarchy we're all living under.
Had I been smart, I'd have emigrated to Scandanavia or Canada straight out of high school.
I might not be rich there, but I'd be a hell of a lot happier.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.
