  • I’m sorry that happened to you. I set my iPhone to save one year’s worth of texts now and then auto-delete. Impermanence is a feature of life, not a bug. Think of the Buddhist monks that have their hundreds of hours of sand drawings erased by a kid stomping through it. It teaches them not to hold on too tightly to what was, but instead live in the moment. It’s tempting to save every last interaction with loved ones, but rewinding will never beat reaching out or reliving your favorite memories instead. Maybe life is telling you to let go.

    It’s not the age itself at all, look at Bernie Sanders, still sharp and still popular. This comic seems pretty much about Diane Feinstein, and the knock isn’t exactly their age, but it is related to their age. They’re grossly out of touch with regular Americans any more and we think the age is a factor. We want fresh blood, new eyes, more forward thinking than some of these career politician dinosaurs seem capable of anymore.

    Before he passed, John McCain estimated that $5 million in assets is the line that separated the middle class from the rich…as if anyone middle class is sitting on $4 million for instance. Every year a new batch of Ivy League Valedictorians and Rhode Scholars emerge and we’re stuck with old folks running the show who happen to be severely out of touch. Hell, look at the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the youngest SCOTUS justice to vote for that was 56 and the oldest 75.




  • I’ve verified throughout our fox network that there are no foxes in any henhouses at the moment. They’ve been instructed to take steps to ensure that no foxes end up in any henhouses accidentally going forward and the foxes tell me that they are truly sorry this time. Despite past reassurances of not being evil, they were in fact…evil. We are rolling out an internal audit system with the help of a 3rd party partner who owes us lots of stuff. We plan on letting the advocacy groups check out our henhouses as long as they agree to be bound by an NDA.



  • I think we need to separate giving a fuck from morally wrong. I know that even stealing from Walmart is morally wrong because two wrongs don’t make a right as the old saying goes, but more importantly, by living in this society and reaping its benefits, we agree to abide by its rules too. Justification is way too easy of an exercise to have any bearing on what’s acceptable.

    That being said…I also don’t even give a fraction of a fuck about someone stealing from Walmart.

    We can admit that something is wrong without caring if it’s enforced or not. Kind of like solo drivers being in the carpool lane. Wrong? Yes. Care? Not a chance. They’ve made their own risk/reward calculations in each case.
