If you’re concerned about which vaccine is best for you, or if you have questions the COVID-19 vaccines at all, I recommend watching this video on the subject. It explains the issue in astonishing clarity. Also, call your doctor. They can answer all of your questions, too. And if you know anyone who is confused…

Charlie claimed that he could see his own butt. I scoffed at this ridiculous, ludicrous claim. Charlie enjoyed this glorious, “I told you so.”

Brandolini’s law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage which describes the difficulty of debunking false, facetious, or otherwise misleading information.   The law postulates that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than required to produce it.   “Liars prosper” is an equally…

Over the past few weeks, I’ve written a couple of posts that have annoyed a considerable number of people. In addition readers objecting strenuously to some of my ideas, I’ve also received a healthy amount of hate mail in response to my support of vaccines and my criticism of the former President’s handling of the…

Someone began impersonating me on Instagram yesterday, reaching out to followers to ask for money. Pretty annoying. I’ve since had the fake account deleted after jumping through a few Instagram hoops, but it wasn’t amusing. It stole away time and a little bit of my sense of security.

The world is hard enough already. Global pandemic. White supremacists and the MAGA mob attempting an insurrection at the Capitol.

But more importantly, did you know that he’s also a social justice warrior on Twitter, using a humor and wit to stand in opposition to…

“You can’t expect novel results without novel behavior.” Pretty good. Right? It’s not mine, but I love it. It’s the the philosophy of every single cell in my body. The polarity of every atom that makes up me. Essentially, it’s this: If you love your life without reservation, don’t change a damn thing. But if…

An actual conversation I had with someone recently: ME: It makes me crazy when I offer someone some logical, effective, proven advice, solicited advice, even, but they just aren’t open to receiving the feedback. Why are people so opposed to examining their own life and making a change? FRIEND: Are you always open to feedback?…

This piece on Generation X by Courtney Dabney got a lot of attention early in the pandemic, and with the anniversary of the pandemic now upon us, it’s been popping up again in social media. It’s an amusing, insightful, and slightly hyperbolic piece that I adored. She argues that Generation X, often forgotten for a…
