I started to suspect my Dad might have a secret second family when I was in high school.

Maybe 10 years later, I learned that suspicion was correct.

What I mean is that most of these people are self interested fools who are nowhere near as knowledgeable as they believe themselves to be.

Most in that category are also not very good at their jobs, which leads to administrative bloat, torturously ineffective bureaucracy, and teaching positions going to whoever is best at politicking rather than the person who is better at teaching.

I don’t care at all about economic usefulness.

Somewhere around the majority of people employed in academia are absolutely useless.

I say this as an academic.

Oh, for those halcyon days of normal scandals like vehicular manslaughter and suit colors.

Cremate me and stick the ashes in a nice chunk of woods

Cox n’ Crendor: Two middle age YouTubers have a chat once a week about pretty much nothing. It’s been going for 13 years and has a cult following.

Do Go On: Australian comedians deliver reports on history to each other.

Tunnel Talk: Okay, this is a wrestling podcast and 99% of those are wildly toxic. What makes this one different is that the ladies who host the show don’t take wrestling seriously at all. That and how horny they get for the wrestlers (of all genders). A good number of their listeners don’t even watch wrestling.

Pacifism.

The overwhelming majority of people, no matter where they sit in terms of culture, religion, and politics, see total nonviolence as a naive position.

But it’s among my most deeply held beliefs.
