We have a silly president. He’s a lot of fun. Every day is an adventure.

I have a lot of legal opinions, but unlike a lot of the noisy idiots out there, I don’t bias my opinions by reading books, studying other cases, or even looking up terms I don’t know on Wikipedia.

Being a lawyer in a Mad Max type world would be pretty easy.
Mad Max points a sawed off shotgun at a scavenger
“The only law out here is whoever has the gun makes the rules.”
I stand behind Max in a one sleeve suit jacket and holding a briefcase
“I can back him up on that.”

Before you yell “Read another book!” at someone who makes a Harry Potter political reference, ask them about S.P.E.W. to make sure they actually read the books and didn’t just see the movies.

I don’t think kids these days understand what a revolution the super soaker was over previous water gun tech. I remember one glorious summer where my brother and I were the only ones at camp with super soakers. It was everyone against us and everyone lost.

MUELLER: “Mr. President, you’re under ar–”
TRUMP: “You’re fired.”
MUELLER: “Do I… do I get two weeks notice?”

I watched that one Elizabeth Warren clip everyone is talking about and my main takeaway is that she looks old.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world his only scandal was wearing a tan suit.

“There are two ways to be a hero…”
Since people keep asking about the Superego sequel, here’s the first chapter to prove it’s being worked on.
I don’t have a title yet. I’ll figure that out as I finish second draft revisions on the whole story.

I’m thinking of being a right-wing grifter. Not for the money, but for the legitimate challenge of explaining how everything Trump does is smart and good.

Just read The Man Who Was Thursday. Not sure I completely understood it, but I understood enough. Fascinating.

All this arguing about politics shows a lot of concern for the welfare of our nation from both sides. This makes me optimistic.

I barely pay attention to new scientific health studies. Considering all the constant contradictions we’ve seen, health science seems hardly more rigorous than social sciences.

We live in the best time in human history, and the reason we complain so much is because we’re ambitious and want things to be even better.

If I were James Bond, I’d introduce myself as “Jond. Bames Jond.” That way if I made a super villain angry, he wouldn’t know my real name to harass me on Twitter and try and get me fired.

The Ready Player One Movie was a lot of dumb fun. Perfect matinee.

There’s a lot of sad people out there so full of hate they often forget their humanity. They think they’re fighting the problem with their hate when they are being emblematic of it. They need prayers, not publicity.

So much of politics these days seems to be people explaining why they’re hate is justified, but it’s your hate that’s always the problem, never the solution.

Every night now before bed I have to take my 2yo out to the front yard so she can look up at the sky and say goodnight to the moon and planets. It’s the greatest thing.

The far right is full of racists. The far left is full of people even more hateful than the racists. Preserving the country means trying our best to make sure neither side wields much power.

Led a Bible study on forgiveness this morning, and I failed on not making a reference to Kingpin. At least I was able to back up “It’s against it” with a specific verse (Matthew 6:15).

With all the hate in politics, it demonstrates what a radical concept “love thy enemy” still is. A lot of people these days think if you don’t hate the right people enough, then you’re not a good person.
I remember dropping the radical concept of “love thy enemy” on my daughter. “Even Team Rocket?!”

Is it possible for someone to be frustrating, but in a good way? Because that’s what John McCain was. But you’re not right all the time, so it’s good to be frustrated. Politics will be more boring without him.

I’m starting a new classical liberal party, and to make sure it doesn’t get ruined, no one other than me is allowed to join.

Showing my daughter Mythbusters. I forgot how watchable that show is. It’s really well-designed to pull you into each experiment.

Anyone who watches that clip of McCain challenging that woman and gets from it “McCain doesn’t like Arabs!” is just like that woman.

I’ve anticipated this more than any movie this year.

The thing with this Plinkett review is attacking The Last Jedi as terrible (which it is, and I don’t get the conspiracy to pretend it isn’t) feel more like a controversial political act than his tearing apart the prequels.

If Louis CK had not done stand up in the past 10 years or does a routine every night nearby I wouldn’t know. I don’t quite get why it’s so important to so many.

I wonder if modern stand up has thought about doing some jokes about Trump. There’s probably a bit or two there.

Million dollar idea: Socks that don’t absorb water

I thought a really insightful for part of The Last Jedi Plinkett review was the suggestion of where it should have ended. If they had ended it there, I would have been really curious about the sequel instead of meh.
There were a number of things Episode VII intrigued we with that made me anticipate VIII, but then VIII just stomped all over that and left basically nothing left.
Eh. At some point we should be done talking about the The Last Jedi (though presumably not until after XI), but I just want to reiterate it was a bad movie and if you claim to like it you should feel bad.

I enjoyed Disenchantment. No where near as good as Futurama, but I’m looking forward to the second part.
It did have a “too many sociopaths” problem. I saw the main trio compared to Fry, Leela, and Bender, but it really seemed more like Fry, Bender, and Bender+. They’ll need to work on making Bean more sympathetic. I’m fine with Luci having no redeeming qualities, though.
Favorite joke was a throwaway line from I think the second episode.
“I’m not here to answer cat questions!” How is that not a GIF already?

What if instead of obtaining one of the 400 million guns already in this country someone spends thousands of dollars printing a semi-reliable one? What then?!

I would watch a Better Call Saul spin off of the Mike the safety inspector, just an hour of him subtly berating people.
