“More people moved out of the U.S. last year than moved in for the first time since the Great Depression as a record number of citizens moved abroad following Donald Trump’s return.” — The Daily Beast

Ever since Trump returned to office, I have been outraged by everything he is doing to this country. I can no longer stand idly by while he enriches billionaires, ruins the environment, and treads on human rights. That is why I have decided to fight the good fight by moving to Portugal.
While I could call my reps or sign a petition, it feels too hard to take five minutes out of my day. So instead, I am putting my house on the market, carefully wrapping up all my delicate possessions for shipment, setting up mail forwarding, saying goodbye to everyone I know, and doing the paperwork to close on a property in a village just outside Lisbon.
I considered going to a protest downtown. But that seemed a little far, so I am crossing the ocean to Europe.

The Synergistic Synergies Subsidiaries family is devastated to announce the loss of our Chief Happiness Architect, Wayne Tillerson, an invaluable member of our corporate family whose vacant position is already accepting applications through our HR portal.
Wayne will be remembered for his attention to detail, time management, and intermediate Microsoft Word skills, as well as his ability to scale cross-functional employee morale improvements and non-monetary workplace incentive packages aligned with corporate KPIs. He can never be replaced, but we need someone just like him, or preferably better, by next week’s shareholder meeting.

Before you ask, yes—I’m actually okay. I can feel you hesitating, the way people do when they lower their expectations out of politeness. You ask this question as if it comes with a proviso, like something unfortunate but manageable is about to happen to your lunch. But I’ve been in therapy for a while now, and one of the things I’ve learned is that I’m not responsible for managing other people’s expectations—especially when those expectations were built around a different soda entirely.
I see the moment the question lands. You pause to scan the menu, even though it won’t change. I clock the quick glance toward the server, as if they might somehow intervene. Sometimes you whisper it to the table; sometimes you say it too loudly, like you’re warning everyone else. I stay where I am, patient and effervescent, while you work through your feelings that have nothing to do with me.

Men, guys, dudes, rejoice! After much research and testing, we have found the cure to the cursed male loneliness epidemic that is sweeping our country and our op-ed sections. We know you feel isolated. We know you can’t talk about your emotions. We know you’re looking for male role models in all the wrong YouTube algorithms. But fear not. We have found the solution to all your problems: doing outlandish science projects to prove or disprove commonplace myths.
Men these days are reverting to masculine ideals from yesteryear. They think real men have to be strong, tough, and misogynistic. Listen, boys, you don’t need big muscles, you don’t need creatine powder, and you certainly don’t need to get surgery to gain an extra few inches of height because you’d rather have metal implants in your legs than be 5′4″. All you really need is a curious mind, a pure heart, and military-level access to high-powered explosives. And also a seemingly endless supply of crash-test dummies.
