After re-entering your CV for the hundredth time and collecting Workday accounts like Pokémon, the silence becomes personal. Is it AI? Is it ageism? Is there a blacklist? A cynical look at modern hiring, ghosting, and waiting to be let back in.

I Came Here to Write About Dogs. Now I’m Monitoring a Man’s Cognitive Decline.
I started this blog to write about dogs, cancer, work, and life’s small disasters. Instead, I’ve become an unpaid, non-American crisis correspondent tracking Donald Trump’s daily chaos. This post is about Trump burnout, political exhaustion, and why staying vocal still matters even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and desperately in need of a break from the constant “what the hell just happened now” news cycle.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show: Or, How to Annoy One Man From Florida in 13 Minutes
The Super Bowl halftime show delivered flashing lights, cultural whiplash, and a unifying message that definitely ruined someone’s evening in Florida. Watching Bad Bunny perform felt like an Adam Sandler sketch that accidentally became iconic. Chaotic, joyful, confusing, and oddly powerful, this halftime show proved once again that the Super Bowl isn’t just about football. It’s about vibes, identity, and collective national overreaction.

“The Greenland Deal: Trump Declares Victory Over Reality”
rump’s Greenland “deal” follows a familiar pattern: create a fake crisis, threaten escalation, declare victory, and end up with exactly what already existed. In this Daily Show–style monologue, the Greenland saga is compared to a taxi ride Trump never needed to hijack, exposing dealmaking as theater, diplomacy as collateral damage, and “I won” as a substitute for actual results.

Daily Affirmation
Today I acknowledge that silence is a choice, politeness is not a virtue, and “carefully worded statements” have never stopped a single bastard in history. I will not confuse restraint with courage. I will not mistake concern for action. I will not be impressed by people in suits doing nothing very professionally. If the world insists on sleepwalking, I am allowed to be awake, angry, and correct. Breathe in clarity Exhale bullshit.
