A seasoned old friend of mine once told me:
“Son, one morning you’ll wake up and nothing will be funny anymore”
I think I’m at that point

Fidelity is not about being in love. Love is fickle, it can ebb and flow.
Fidelity is a matter of moral discipline and self-respect. Temptation will always be available, and men have to be strong to ignore it.

They can call you all sorts of insult slop, as they effort so diligently to keep up with the language of children, they can call your dog fat
but they can't make you unsee the extraordinary beauty and they cannot revoke the evidence from your heart that you are ultimately beloved.

Hateful rightwing rhetoric:
"My dishwasher wasn't working... so I told her to get busy and make me a sandwich lmaoooo"
Harmless leftwing comedy:
"I'm so happy this guy was brutally murdered, hope it happens to more of you"

To the people saying the female pilot in the Learjet that crashed was “unprofessional” on the radio: let me drop you off a building with a radio and see how professional you sound.

Art imitates life. Modernity is spiritually castrated and therefore so is its literature
When I read older books, I'm always struck by how unoptimized they are. Books wandered in their prose, had meandering backstories for side characters, and had strange and illogical plot points. Now, it's like every word in a book has to be razor-focused, hurtling toward the conclusion. There's no room for idle dreaming.

Just on the OFF chance anybody knows who the student is, please put him in touch with me. I would love to speak to him. I live near OSU.

Literature should not be "left-wing" or "right-wing." It should ask big questions that neither side knows how to answer.

After disregarding my own eyes and my own sense of logic and listening to the literally dumbest people on Twitter, I have changed my mind.
The Iranians definitely attacked the US this weekend with a missile and blew up a random mobile home in a trailer park in Florida.

This is maybe the most disgusting thing I've ever heard from someone running for office.
As a parent, a truly nauseatingly evil worldview.

Yes. It is.
Nobody that is a normal person can legitimately think about the world. Thinking about the world is the job of those who've been elected and entrusted to the work. A normal person needs to provide for them and theirs first. Otherwise you become a burden to society.
