The Falsehood of Flattery
I started amassing pictures of the comments telling me I’m not funny. This is a collection that I expect will never be complete. There will always be new people discovering that I suck. The collection helps me remember that I’d be a miserable person if I took the words of strangers to heart. Empty words […]
Don’t Fear Teaching Your Kids
Suggest to the average parent that they should educate their children instead of shipping them off to school and many of them will look at you as if you suggested tossing their kids into a woodchipper. Parents have many excuses for shirking the responsibility of teaching life’s most important lessons to their precious children. “I’m […]
Make Them Show Themselves Out
As society continues to crumble into chaos and destitution, it is important to keep a firm grasp on sanity. You must look for the clues that tell you whether your mind is functioning correctly or you’re on the road to Crazytown. A sure sign that you’re losing your grip on reality is zero tolerance for […]
Laughter Is A Gentle Wound
“Every time you laugh at the idea of a man dressed as a woman, a trans girl gets more scared to come out.” As a certified professional comedian, I will tell you that statement is absolutely true. Mockery is a gift that God gave us to soften harsh criticism. Ridicule is a kinder, gentler way […]
My Bullies Revisited
Let’s play a game! I write a lot of things which means I’m sometimes wrong about stuff. When I’m wrong, I try to admit my mistake and avoid repeating the error in the future. A couple of years ago, I wrote something that upset a lot of people. I received hundreds of comments, messages, and […]
Drugs Will Ruin Your Life
I’m glad this meme appeared in a Libertarian group because it helped me remember that I’m not a mindless drone who just repeats talking points. By God’s grace, I’m capable of independent thought and I detect bad ideas even when they come from ‘my tribe.’ I’ll dissect this meme to show you what’s wrong with […]
Letter to A Hypothetical Church
If there was Pastor who published a video explaining that he and his girlfriend “found out some time ago that she is pregnant” and that his sin “put our leadership in a really difficult place,” and if that Pastor then shut down the discussion under that video because “things were getting contentious and divisive” and […]
Good Journalism is Horrifying
When Joe Biden called a Fox News reporter a stpid son of a b***, it made a lot of people feel a lot of different things. Fans of Joe Biden (there are dozens of them) were outraged by the reporter’s disrespectful demeanor. Meanwhile, the “Let’s Go Brandon” folks were outraged by the President’s disrespectful demeanor. […]
Why Do We Only Celebrate Certain Suicides?
Do you remember when Robin Williams committed suicide and thousands of people expressed a kind of bitter-sweet joy for the troubled soul who had finally found peace? Robin was a beloved actor who brought laughter to millions of people. He was rich, famous, and popular. It made no sense for somebody with his success to […]
The Confession That Wasn’t
These were the instructions given above a video posted by a church pastor. “Please no divisive words in the comments. The way we love one another will either point people to Jesus or away from Him.” In the video, the pastor eventually reveals that his girlfriend is pregnant. It would be divisive to ask any […]
