I’ve had a good writing week. People have really connected with stuff I wrote and I like that feeling. Still afraid of sharing. But I’m getting there.

I’m probably gonna end up on Ghost. If I’m ever going to be “professional” I’m going to have to have a web presence and a social media that’s not just me purging my brain worms and petty grievances into the ether. But I’m a Luddite and this shit is a pain in the ass.

Gotta work on getting a blog set up. I need a quick, easy, secure way for a moron like me to publicly share an essay.

I also feel like they might get a good amount of what they want if Biden was a second term president with a landslide victory.

And hey. I get it. I’m a former Republican and a former cop. Activist shouldn’t WANT me in their space. But I need a place where I can contribute and it’s kinda bullshit to sneer down your nose at someone you don’t want at your meetings anyway.

Not everyone is cut out to be Blac Block and the normie wine moms and resistance types provide a home for folks like me who are left but not leftist.

In the immediate aftermath of November 2016 my spouse and I sought out a way to fight back and wound up in an activist meeting that was intensely uncomfortable. It was clear “normies” weren’t welcome. The woman’s march and hashtag resistance orgs were welcoming and way more active.

So I’ve been watching Taskmaster. My kid had to clean their room so I turned it into a task master task and HOLY SHIT IT WORKED SO WELL! Not only is this kid cleaning happily it is fucking hilarious.

The things about “discovering” a new band is my buddy Chuck has always heard them tell years earlier at a show somewhere. I should just listen to his recommendations but after 20 plus years I gotta admit I won’t.

I am steadily getting back into Radney Foster and “Are You Ready for the Big Show” is a near perfect live album. I wish I’d seen him live when he was playing bars in Shreveport and Bossier.

Way too many folks around here who claim to be anti-fascist are just authoritarians of another stripe. Dictators are bad even when they’re doing exactly what you personally want.

I’ve been trying to think positive but I’m right there with you. I don’t understand this. My only consolation is a LOT of this discourse seems to be online. I’m not seeing it in the real world. In fact I’ve seen some positive signs. Still scared through.

These proposed changes to VA benefits could, theoretically, impoverish my family. We definately couldn’t continue to live in Massachusetts without these benefits. Child care costs if I’m forced to go back to work would be higher than any pay I made with no college degree and an eight year work gap

Shame I’ll never be able to safely go back home to use it. Start talking about things you know in St Tammany Parish and you ain’t welcomed back…

Now I just want to do a one off. Like the Taskmaster opener where they bring gifts. Have five friends bring an example of “that couple” then explain their choices for arbitrary points. Winner gets a Stanley Cup and an Academy Sports gift card.

Oh it’s too goddamned easy. We’d have to branch out of St Tammany Parish. I know some folks who went to college in Georgetown Texas that would make good guests. Hell if we run out of material my mom teaches a “young adult” Sunday School class at a First Baptist Church whose name you know.

This is genuinely not a bad idea. Just invite on guests drink a few and start Facebook stalking that dude who was always hanging around for some reason but went to St Paul’s.

Now I can fly across the country for a rock concert just ‘cause. My kid has never been hungry. There’s a lot wrong with this country. There’s a lot we can and should and have to do better. Lord knows we have a real fight on our hands. But this country is worth saving.

Drinking four beers and shit talking the people you still know from High School is as important of a southern sport as college football. Me and my spouse are gold medalists in the pairs division because I hold a grudge and they love drama.

I dunno what this means but it’s new and it seems good and it’s the kind of thing you don’t pick up on via phone polls. Also a significant number of posters, the majority, are FROM Louisiana.

…but more importantly Bill Cassidy’s comments are largely supportive of President Biden and incredibly anti-Trump. There is significant pushback against the idea of Biden have dementia going on in the Facebook comments of a Republican Senator from one of the most reliably Republican states.

…first but not new…the majority of John Kennedy’s comments come from out of state. That man is genuinely beloved by Massachusetts Republicans. I guess it’s the accent…
