Disclaimer: this post is by no means intended as a forum in which to discuss your closely held political views and why they are superior to everyone else’s. Just appreciate the irony.

The very Republican dad of a very Republican girl I went to high school with likes to post very Republican things on facebook, which his daughter comments on and then show up in my feed.

I thought for a brief moment about actually replying with what you see I typed above, but then I realized it would be a terrible idea to engage the cesspool of 75+ replies and counting, including multiple comments from a gentleman with the Confederate flag as his profile picture, and someone who posted,

The leftover commies inside the white house leaked out details of the raid in Yemen committing TREASON . thus the need to confirm Jeff Session .

But hey, count me as one left wing liberal hippie who is enjoying a tiny bit of schadenfreude.

Meaning “don’t Facebook”, right? That’s my mantra...

My most recent posts on fb are:

So I was chilling on the couch with Oliver, went to the kitchen to get some food, and when I came back, he’s all like, “oh, you were coming back?”

This is wrong but I still laughed. (Don’t worry the cat is fine.)

Valentine’s Day falling on a Tuesday seems to have made getting a reservation easier than a typical Valentine’s Day.

Soup-er Bowl kale, white bean and sausage soup. Yeah, I’ve got puns.

Dear Madison, I still love you.

Check-in with my wife to a french bakery with the comment, “Getting our quiche on.”

I bent a wheel on a nasty pothole a while back. Thanks, Wisconsin roads! These guys came to my work and are straightening it out as we speak. Pretty cool.

Check-in at Woodman’s supermarket, “I’m Phil Woodman! We’ve got a great deal on squash, only 49 cents a pound! What’s that? You want more than one butternut squash?! Hope you have fun digging through all these acorn and spaghetti squashes! Ay caramba!”

(To understand this one, see the Woodman’s youtube channel .)

I have been vigorously using the “do not see functions from” function. I don’t block my friends/family who post, but you can scroll down and block the people and organizations they share or comment on. A few days of it and you block most of the places they visit.

My parents can’t eat anything other than well done or medium so I always thought rare was crazy, till I tried it, yum
