As someone who occasionally read Dilbert back in the day, I do have to say that the "author self-insert character is always right and always complaining, and everyone else is always an idiot" tropes are well-tilled soil for right-wing outrage culture.
Add in there that he already had an "perpetually angry woman" character and "Indian office worker stereotype" character, and it becomes even easier to see how he got there.
He's even dumber than that. He's not just saying "could be the vaccine, could be not"; he's literally saying "you can't say it's the vaccine and you can't say it's not."
He's managed to say less than nothing.
As a frustrated Christian, I think I'd say it's most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond "seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized."
Christian, though...there's a least a definition there ("follower of Christ") that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.
Knee surgery that wasn't on his radar, his team's radar, or his agent's radar until he was told that the rookie was gonna get a shot to start next game.
Sure, fine, take your elective season-ending surgery, but don't try to play it like you had to leave, or like the team and coach that covered for you all season long and gave you a wildly-improbably second chance at being a starter when the rest of the league already knew you were broken somehow owed you something. You got paid millions to live every backup's dream -- a shot at becoming the guy -- and your coach stuck by you long after you blew that chance.
Then you go and make yourself totally unavailable even to be on the bench for the new kid who got comp'd to you and looks up to you?
I really don't understand how Mariota got his "he's a nice guy" reputation, except maybe by contrast to Jameis because they were in the same draft class.
I don't get why this is a headline.
There are two pieces of non-new information from this headline:
...like....I get that this gives someone their outrage fix for the day, but we've learned nothing new from it, and it has no long-term impact. If Boebert took this pamphlet to her house and then ignored it, nothing would be different. She'd still be callous and uncaring towards the victims of school shootings.
That's actually pretty sick.
So much is riding on Desmond Ridder that I really hope he's the answer, or at least a good enough answer.
Outside of him, I feel like the Falcons' front office has done a good job of properly hedging bets.
It seems mostly like a boomer thing to do, honestly; I don't really hear "I hate my wife/husband" jokes from folks my generation (Millennials) or younger. Honestly, I mostly hear "I hate myself" jokes there.
A lot of the "ol' ball and chain" etc jokes tend to be more frequently casting the wife as the enemy instead of the husband, too, so there's some definite boomer misogyny as key element.
