Redefining misanthropy for a fresh generation. Standard posts begin with a definition from Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary followed by a modern adjustment. Miscellany on Wednesday and storytelling on Saturday.
sad: first thing I feel whenever I read about some young kid who has done themself in because of the bad behavior of some other young kid at school; mad is what I feel after thinking it over. glad is what I feel when the little miscreant gets to experience the appropriate set of consequences for the crappy behavior.
Others are sad when I sing, my singing is sad.
