It's just like the situation with Trump voters... You don't really start to get it until it happens to you. michaelrosenbaum1.substack.com/p/ten-bits-o...

We think we have enough time...and then you get the phone call. medium.com/@michael_669...

Why is it always Taco Bell?

Without any doubt, hoarders are saving us from Armageddon. We are not worthy. www.dadwrites.com/blog/hoarder...

The only way to know the difference is to ask Uncle Kenny to climb a tree. www.dadwrites.com/blog/sloth-o...

We're at peak pique right now, but I still wonder if we've really given this enough of our attention. medium.com/@michael_669...

So, I've decided to give Medium a try, so check out this post about what a liar I am. medium.com/@michael_669...

They say you get what you measure in business, but that means you can be handing out huge bonuses on the way to bankruptcy court... www.dadwrites.com/blog/hire-mo...

So sorry your job is about to get whacked, but... www.dadwrites.com/blog/is-your...

Yes, absolutely guaranteed financial returns. What could possibly go wrong? www.dadwrites.com/blog/yes-wer...

Right wingers must not have liked Charlie Kirk. None of them is sending any thoughts and prayers.

Has anyone in the media published any kind of estimate for crowd size at the Trump parade? Lots of stories saying it was below 200k or sparse, or whatever, but I cannot find an actual crowd size estimate like we ALWAYS see. WTF is going on?

More Father's Day musings: Why is it Father’s Day and not Dad’s Day? I don’t know anyone who walks in the door and yells, “Father, I’m home.” “Dad” is so much friendlier and warm, although I’d stop there. “Daddy” would just seem to cross a line or two. Or three.

Father's Day puzzle: What to buy a WFH dad? No ties, and he already has a “#1 Dad” coffee cup…I see why people pass along gift cards like last year’s fruitcake. WFH is great, though. No fights on the day after FD when two guys show up with identical “World’s Best Dad” coffee cups.

Another Father's Day question: Does anyone hire a physical trainer to help them get a dad bod? Can a dad bod ever be a turn-on, even if it’s only to women who are tired of grandfather bods? Asking for a friend.

If dad spends Sunday morning playing golf and then he takes a nap while mom makes dinner, how will he know it’s Father’s Day?

This will not end well, and my right-wing Jewish friends will be the most surprised by the obvious.

The honored dead that nobody mourns this holiday...

Eggs just have more rizz than potatoes, I guess...

When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis, and that's the goal for the people creating the real chaos.

Happy Mothers Day, known in literary circles as the Day of Confused Apostrophes. Is it for all mothers, so it's Mothers’ Day, or for individual mothers, as in Mother’s Day? It it's only for happy mothers, it's Happy-Mothers Day? Or maybe nobody owns it, so it's just Mothers Day. I'm so confused.

I want to run a federal agency, so I'm applying for a job at Fox News.

When I'm drinking bourbon and telling you it's sobriety...

Sigh

It's already too late, but we're still acting as if there's time on the clock.

With all the news stories about Trump backing down after backlash from Wall Street, you'd think nobody predicted this, except...

When does Vance visit the White House next? Asking for a friend.

Only the C students can save us now.

What could possibly go wrong? "Roughly one-fifth of Internal Revenue Service staff — some 20,000 workers — are taking the buyout, a significant increase from the 4,700 employees who opted in for the first round."

It's invisible, liberals hate it, and it's probably the only thing that's going to save us.

Washington is closer than people think. Post Offices, Social Security offices and VA hospitals close, cancer screening and after-school programs end, and suddenly we appreciate the pork-barrel projects we all love to hate. We’re all getting a lesson in civics, the hard way.

We expect tons of bravery from other people as Trump rains vengeance on his enemies. Whether it’s Columbia or Paul Weiss or the bureaucrat who gets doxed by DOGE, we expect them to fight to the death. The rest of us gave in and we’re bagging our own groceries, but Trump targets must be superheroes.

Please stop saying we did this to ourselves. WE didn't do this. Trump did this. And while millions voted for him, he received less than half the total votes cast.

Scorecards! Get your scorecards!! Can't tell the tariffs without the scorecards!!! Just don't fill them out in ink.

Two absolutely consistent statements I’m hearing from my Trumpian friends: “He’s delivering exactly what he promised,” and “You can’t take him literally.” I hear the next Olympics will have a competition for mental gymnastics and the U.S. team is guaranteed gold.

I’ve never been sold on this whole reincarnation thing, but I’m becoming a true believer. Measles was declared dead a quarter century ago and now, like Lazarus, it’s walking tall again. Can’t wait to see what happens with polio and smallpox and, dare I hope, the Black Death.

So what happens when all the tech bros need to cash in their crypto to make ends meet?

Even more winning: That's 275,000 jobs those danged furriners won't be able to steal anymore.

Yes, everybody saw this coming but, I swear, nobody could possibly have seen this coming. Except for everybody.

#ETTD ! Now bigger and better than ever.

Trump's big crypto push is one of our strongest tools for fighting inflation, as thousands of new currencies are introduced ...

How can liberals win by ignoring racists and loving white men? Sometimes, success strategies aren't as obvious as we think...
