There has been a lot of recent debate on allowing Trans-Women to play in Women's sports.  Most of the debate has been boring.  But one point that is rarely raised is that biological women have a lot of barriers to training for elite levels in s
One of the major arguments for banning of assault rifles is that they are not useful for hunting are designed to kill people....but that is exactly the kind of weapon that is protected by the second amendment.  There is not a constitutional rig
You are more likely to die from suicide than be murdered.  Why don't we discuss this more?  Because it is impolite I guess but that is what I do best....be impolite.  The statistics on suicide are enlightening and frightening.  Also, What the f
CNN and Fox News headlines about February inflation numbers seem to be in direct conflict.  Well, they chose different numbers and so they are both right and both pieces of shit.  In this case, Fox chose the more reasonable straight-forward num
There are some movies that present themselves as commentaries on the historical problem of white colonization that actually backfire and seem to glorify white men.  These movies often have white saviors and I think they are made to allow white
"All Quiet On The Western Front" is another in a log line of movies showing us the horrors of war at the level of the individual soldier.  We love these kinds of movies!  They allow us to feel compassion and righteous anger about the meaningles
There is a lot of discussion of the "whitewashing" of history in American schools but that hasn't been my experience.  Most Americans don't know shit about American or world history - but they all know about slavery, Jim Crow Laws and segregati
I am a prolific crier.  But what purpose does crying serve?  It appears to be a universal human activity that is specifically human...but it is difficult to come up with a compelling evolutionary explanation for its ubiquity.  Interesting....or
The Star Spangled Banner is an awful national anthem for the US.  it is a mediocre poem put to a tune ripped off from a British song-writer.  It is time for an update that really reflects who we are and what we ant to sing at sporting events. B
Everyone distrusts the news media today....but we never really did and that is a good thing.  The evil media mogul distorting our thoughts is even more time-honored than the evil scientist (though Fauci is bringing it back with a vengeance).  W
Ronald Dion DeSantis was king of the world during the pandemic....but he has become another brain-dead politician in the aftermath.  There is no such thing as a conscientious conservative anymore.  Also, someone needs to be able to forge my mot
Recent viral videos of children at Drag shows has resulted in a cultural war issue.  I agree.  Get kids out of Drag shows....because it is ruining the joy of Drag. Drag is supposed to be sexual, counter-culture, liberating and a little naughty.
The DMZ is one of the most demeaning and depressing experiences in existence.  It is the best argument against allowing the government to run any service.  Also, we should have red flag laws to rescind driver's Licenses #PrimusSucks
Humans cannot understand probabilities and real data and instead rely on their own brain and experience.  Note the recent suggestions that mass shooters are overwhelmingly white and that these shooters should be caught ahead of time because the
My local school district tried to mandate see-through backpacks for kids in middle and high school.  This is another example of inefficient and potentially dangerous mandates in the name of safety.  But all of these mandates make us feel less s
All of the responses to the overturning of Roe v Wade have been superficial and annoying.  The fact is that the abortion laws in the United States will look more like the patchwork of laws in the European Union and in some states will be far le
A quick sampling of TV commercials (or commercials on YouTube) demonstrates that minorities and especially blacks are well represented.  And by "well" I actually mean over represented.  The demographics of commercials do not reflect the demogra
This is a little dialogue between Saint Peter and a newly dead semi-devout Christian at the pearly gates.  Turns out that we are imperfect....and that's a good thing.  Also, Saint Peter can be a bit of a prick. #ImagineTheresNoJohnLennon
The unanimity of the voices supporting a continuing war in Ukraine is deafening.  What happened to the peaceniks and the MAGA isolationists?  They apparently have been won over by CNN, Fox and the questionably sexy Zelenskyyii+.  Also,  why is
So, what would a reasonable compromise on abortion look like?  Let's go for Legal, safe and rare.  Will it work?  Not a fucking chance.  #NakedGun
The impending overturn of Roe v. Wade has resulted in a lot of noise and not much rational discussion.  Whether people are pro or anti abortion rights (or like most people are in between), they seem to misunderstand what the Roe v. Wade decisio
Yes, the war in Ukraine dominates the news media every night but the most important event of 2022 in the future is Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.  We will recall it on our death beds.  There is nothing wrong with that.  Morally a
Russia Sucks and war sucks.  But the response of Americans has been shockingly hawkish.  There is no real nuance in the discussion of the causes and results of the war in Ukraine.  Time to put this all into perspective....or just send in Tom Cr
We were all subjected to the "Fact Versus Opinion" lesson in school.  However, this lesson was meaningless because all stated facts are expressions of opinions and no stated facts can be considered unassailable.  Worse, this dumb distinction di
The history of the world has demonstrated that groups with negligible differences can hate each other and cause death and misery.  This is a result of our evolved tendency to positively evaluate those who belong to the same groups as us and neg
