Took my 13 year-old to his first-ever concert the other night. He’s been getting into Nine Inch Nails lately, so I surprised him with tickets. Mind officially blown, and a proper precedent has been set

Whoever keeps discretely defacing the mini Mt Rushmore from the former Liberty Land/Seven Peaks on I-15 in Utah county…I secretly love you
jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

Before Benedict Arnold, who is the exemplar of the ultimate sellout and betrayer?
Watching A Christmas Story with my sons. Not much better than this

The movie The Land Before Time still fucking slaps
My best friend in the universe passed away last week
I’m really sad, and I don’t post on here hardly at all, and don’t expect anything. I’m just telling the void about my best friend, and how cool he was, and how wonderful it was to have a friend become a brother over 20 years of time
I miss him
Heard a country cover of Tom Petty’s American Girl tonight at dinner.
It was…not good

Ok, refilming the raptors-in-the-kitchen scene from the OG film while actors huddled against a green screen later-to-be-replaced by shelves of potato chips was LAME
Oh sorry, *spoilers* ?
If you watch the first Jurassic Park film, and then skip all of the sequel flix until the latest one (the 7th one if we’re counting), it’s almost an acceptable direct sequel: Original shit goes down, then jump 35 years to see the beginning consequences
Also, alcohol helps a lot.
A lot, a lot
Watching influential films with your sons is awesome
That is all
And following our will and wind
We may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end
And may just go where no one's been
Spiral out, keep going

As I’ve said, if any good can come of all this, it’s that the CEO class is finally flying too close to the sun with their frothing masks-off public eagerness to eliminate everyone who has actually made their products. And when they come back begging for talent, the talent has organized against them.

Very exciting news: The Onion has started a creative agency.
We've been doing this quietly for months, so if you've seen a funny ad somewhere, it may be us. But now it is a whole-ass company.
Anyway, we have killed Don Draper for a second time and revived his drunk ghost. Contact me to access him.
Went from talking about Che Guevara to black holes and secret sciences with my 12 year-old child in the span of about 10 minutes. My kid is fucking cool

No amount of doomscrolling really drives home the feeling of the World Ending the way that shopping for groceries in 2025 does.
Mouthwash was 9.99. I’m thinking I might just remove my teeth to save money. (also who wants to buy some teeth)
