I'm a man of neither wealth nor taste. Not much of a man either, come to think of it. My book "Grievances" on Amazon https://a.co/d/8i9T6xX My Substack blathering: https://narrowback601.substack.com/

People struggling to pay bills are cheering on the president and his allies become richer at their expense. All because he claims to hate the same people they do. Culture war is powerful, and awful.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

January 7th is the Annual celebration of "finding a Christmas decoration you missed while putting them away over the weekend and so now it just lives downstairs."

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.

Hey, I don't have any hit songs but the line "Christmas comes this time each year" in The Beach Boys "Little Saint Nick" is such a throw away line & hook. Yeah, no shit, it’s called a calendar.

If GoDaddy had a restaurant: Me: I’ll go with the steak. GD: OK, 3 steaks. There's an extra charge to insure the steaks from being stolen on way to your table. To reduce the chance of getting sick from bad steaks, that's also extra. Me: Cancel my order. Ah, where's the door? Where's the door?!

Constantly saying "Breaking: [Republican politician] just [did this crazy thing]. Imagine if [Democratic politician] did [the same crazy thing], [Republicans] would immediately impeach!" doesn't seem to be working. You rely on shame and self-policing when they turned those controls off long ago.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Hamilton should do one show at Kennedy but Lin-Manuel should rework "The Reynolds Pamphlet" lyrics and squeeze in a bunch of the Trumpy shenanigans but keep the "Never gon' be President now" part for irony that the kids these days seem to enjoy.

My evenings consist of watching shows & movies, looking up cast members of said shows & movies wondering where I know them from, then looking up their ages, and then wondering what the fuck have I been doing all my life.

LinkedIn: If you happen to cough while your LinkedIn profile page is open in edit mode, get ready for two solid weeks of “[yourname] has a new job! Say Congratulations!” followed with messages like “Congrats [yourname] on the new job! [1/3]

Hope all is well!!” from borderline acquaintances who wouldn’t know any better. Most comments made by former colleagues on LinkedIn are pretty impersonal anyway and you’d think they were made by an algorithm and not actual humans. [2/3]

Even when someone is making a desperate plea for employment: “[yourname] is Currently Seeking new opportunities…I’ll take anything!” followed by the comment “Hey, that’s great! Take Care!” [3/3]
