A year ago, I posted this message out of the loneliness of another COVID Friday night.

In a pretty wild turn of events, the lead singer of the Spin Doctors, @thechrisbarron, replied and then jumped on Instagram Live to play guitar sitting on his bed at home.

1/
That feels more like a lifetime ago than just one year.

Chris ended up becoming a good friend. We played golf most summer weeks last year.

He’s a good man, that Chris.

2/
Anyway, Chris is playing a double-anniversary lowkey hangout on Instagram Live tonight.

1) It’s the one-year anniversary of our online hangouts

2) It’s his birthday in a few days

If you want to join, pop by Chris’ Instagram page between 9-10 pm ET.

3/
Separately, cheers, @thechrisbarron!

I’m gonna pour an ice cold aquavit to celebrate the long, wild year it has been.

Love ya, bro.

Look at my beautiful dog enjoying a ride in the country.

There’s only one small problem…
That isn’t my dog.

Out in the middle of a preserve. See this sweet pup walking alone through the snow. No one around.

So, I pull over to check for a collar. Sweet pup sidles over for a scratch. Image
So, I’m like “Let me look for something I can use as a leash.”

Open the car door, pup jumps right in and lays down.

Okay, that works too, I guess.

Now I need to find the owners.

Even now, six years into Trumpism, people continue to push back on the message that they should stop amplifying a propagandist’s messages.

Sharing propaganda makes you an accomplice not the opposition.

1/
Propaganda is a fire not a virus. You kill it by smothering it not by giving it oxygen.

It is quite possible for the media to talk about Trump and for the public to stay informed without sharing every dumb thing he says or releases.

2/
Further, there is really no excuse at this point for not understanding that Trump says insane, incendiary things for attention.

If you are giving it to him, the fool is you.

For real, we are in this mess because Trump commanded full attention to his every stupid move.

DONALD. TRUMP. DOES. NOT. HAVE. A. TWITTER. ACCOUNT.

STOP. POSTING. EVERY DUMB. STATEMENT. HE. RELEASES.
For real, I’m going to start blocking accounts that have decided they want to help Trump get his message out.

What the fuck are you doing? Jesus.
Yeah, I’ve decided.

People who obsessively post Trump’s dumbass statements:

If I follow them: muted

If I don’t: blocked

The only exception is accounts that specifically cover right wing appearances and content (eg Rupar and Acyn)

This is a real by the wife of a 31-yr old father of two who is absolutely going to blow through hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical care and then die because he refused to be vaccinated DESPITE BEING 100% CERTAIN TO DIE OTHERWISE.

These idiots are evolutionary failures.
These stupid effing assholes are clogging up the medical system demanding the husband be given the most precious of MEDICAL GIFTS - A HEART TRANSPLANT - while also being such abject fucking morons, they’re rejecting the MEDICAL GIFT of a safe, effective vaccine.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, these dipshits have gathered a small group of people to PROTEST IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL.

Listen, I was not raised to feel in any way obligated to care about antisocial assholes who would happily harm their community.

Bye, buddy. Your choice.

I’m gonna post my weekly One Good Thing shortly but first, I’m gonna lead with one of my own.

I have unsmall ADHD. It is both debilitating and a super power. It makes me who I am (and I prefer it to who I would be without it).

It definitely makes my life harder…

1/
…but it also makes me endlessly hungry for new and different things.

The four golden pillars of ADHD are ‘NICU’.

Novelty
Interest
Challenge
Urgency

Things offering none of those, no matter how small, are like pushing boulders up a mountain.

2/
I would rather have to learn how to fly a plane than have to pair up my socks.

The plane thing would vastly take more effort but it isn’t the work that matters. It’s the NICU score.

Socks are a boulder. Flying would be a challenge - and the not-dying part would add urgency.

This person has never not been insufferable.
I mean, how hollowed out, sociopathic, and obnoxious does a person need to be to think “Here is a chance for me to use my cancer to show that I don’t care about other people with cancer… or other people at all, really.”

We need to stop giving ink to these Grade A assholes.
Now, bear in mind, Kaitlin is the same piece of shit who tried to use Amy Klobuchar’s father’s alcoholism to shame Klobuchar.

Kaitlin is an asshole in an outfit from Ann Taylor. Privileged, selfish, awful.
