California busts NIMBY dreaming

Can YIMBYs beat the regressives, both left and right? — Jeffrey Denny Kudos to California for rejecting the NIMBYism that’s fueled the state’s — and the nation’s — affordable housing crisis that hurts working families, especially people of color, the most.

Rejected demands by the House MAGA Caucus

Gaetz Gang got greedy — Jeffrey Denny The McCarthy-Gaetz Treaty of 2023 stands as one of the greatest peace pacts since the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas. You know, when the Papal State negotiated a deal between Portugal and Spain over who got to conquer and colonize Central and South America the most. Win-win. Similarly win-win…

O Kevin! My Kevin!

Your fearful trip has just begun* — Jeffrey Denny “Nominative determinism” says thy name is destiny. For instance, don’t name your sweet newborn “Henry Charles Albert David, Prince Harold, Duke of Sussex.” He/they might grow up to look eerily like a keto Seth Rogen and “write” a New York Times best-selling memoir about your terrible horrible no…

I don’t hate cars

Can I still be a good climate-woke lib? — Jeffrey Denny “For a century, we’ve loved our cars. They haven’t loved us back.” So offered a New Yorker story headline in 2019. This was before Covid thinned the roads of cars and let streateries take over the streets with eateries. …

Loving the GOP schadenfreude smorgasbord

An unlimited buffet of tasty karma dishes — Jeffrey Denny Every spring, the skies over the quaint Ohio town of Hinckley Ridge, just south of Cleveland, are darkened by a swarm of giant, ungainly and ridiculously fugly turkey vultures. The village celebrates “Hinckley Ridge Buzzards Day” to have fun and booze, and attract fun- and booze-loving tourists. The…

Other 2023 House Republican majority investigations

Revenge is a dish best served grilled like Democrat witnesses before the new House GOP Un-American Activities Committee — Jeffrey Denny Rage addicts, left and right, can’t wait for the MAGA-enslaved Republicans to sunder their morals, self-respect, oath of office and the Constitution as they settle into the House majority. The MAGA-cowed confederacy of GOP dunces is already drooling to take delicious revenge on the America-hating Socialist Democrats.

Choosing to be happy during the Southwest Airlines holiday apocalypse

Serenity now — Jeffrey Denny Edibles were made for this. The thought occurred while stuck enjoying the teeming hoards of tired, poor, huddled masses and tempest-tossed wretched refuse united in misery as Southwest canceled 15,000 flights over the Christmas holiday. Alas, I fail to indulge in gummies. Not even $20 movie theater Jujyfruits. …

You know, like LaBrant Fam, Gabbie Hanna, Kami and Ben Crawford, West End Caleb and Andrew Tate? Me neither. Yet they all protagonized the “10 controversies that…

We love-hate Elon Musk

He’s superbad — Jeffrey Denny We all have complicated love-hate relationships. Some are with family. Some are with longtime friends, spouses or exes. Many love-hate longtime football hero Tom Brady. Others love-hate longtime football losers like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by the retiring/not retiring disgraced crypto-shill Tom Brady. Americans are united in…

New Year’s resolution annual performance review

In 2022, did you Significantly Exceed Expectations? — Jeffrey Denny Establishing New Year’s resolutions is an annual January ritual. Discarding New Year’s resolutions is an annual February ritual. But aside from a certain 45th U.S. president who is beyond perfection, I believe most people want to be better people. Consider how the self-help industry — events and seminars…
