Rick Rosner: Now, I am 40% anemic or fully anemic. I only have 60% of the red blood cells I should have. My being a snowflake about Trump is literally killing me, not that I fall down. But I have to catch my breath. I get up. I tweet often about Trump. I check my numbers of followers. I respond to people who have written me messages. Though I am a terrible responder to stuff.

I take a lot of time and miss a lot of stuff. I am not the best replier to DMs or emails. Some days, several days a week, you and I get together and you ask me questions, and I answer questions that way I do now. You turn that in to more material to put online, which is awesome. I am best at writing 20 words at a time. I am best at writing jokes. The longer-form stuff takes me longer.

So this way of doing things is fantastically helpful. I can talk my way through stuff. Given that I am unemployed, I can help around the house, though I do not help as much as I should. In the afternoon, I tweet some more. I think that I really should work some more on the proposal for How to be a Fucked Up Genius. Lately, I have been taking a nap and eating a lot of cheese.

Cheese is one of the things that doesn’t wreck my stomach. Then my wife comes home. We have dinner. I go out to 5 gyms. I have got super OCD about going to the gym.
