Continue reading →: The Death of Empathy, in Politics and Investing
Lately I’ve been thinking of our two-party system like Ben and Chris from Parks and Recreation when they first made their appearance as the auditing bros. Chris was the Democratic Party. Very upbeat and progressive and kind of boujee in everything they do, and empathetic to the issues of other…

I’m not really good at life. I’m not a good DIYer. I can’t install a car seat. I’m bad at remembering things. I’m not a great dad or husband. I’m a procrastinator. I’m bad at talking to people. I’m lazy. I’m getting dumber. I can’t focus on tasks and follow…

Continue reading →: The Inevitable Disappointment of the New Jersey Drones
For the past couple of weeks, politicians, some mainstream media, and random people on the internet have been talking about the wave of drone/UAP sightings across New Jersey and other areas on the East Coast of the US. And for the past couple of weeks I’ve been glued to the…

Well…. here we are. I should have expected this. In fact I did expect something like this back in June before Biden dropped out. It seemed inevitable that Trump would win pretty easily. Biden was not popular. Harris was not popular. Inflation is the least popular of all, and a…

Continue reading →: An Ode to the Red Stars
This past Sunday was the last time I’ll ever attend a Chicago Red Stars match. I’m not giving up my season tickets or anything like that. And I will be attending their matches next season too. But they’ll no longer be the Red Stars. Earlier this month the team announced…
