About Me

Welcome to Review Yo' Ass. I have taken the title from the Parks and Rec phrase “Treat Yo' Self”, and I am Treating Myself by Reviewing Yo' Ass. Simply put, it has been a worrying time seeing America re-elect a clown (I am trying to be charitable here) and his cabal, especially with the impact on women. In times of worry it is recommended to journal thoughts to get them out, or to write letters to people that are annoying you and never send them. So, with a Myles Barlow-esque nod this is my way of dealing with my angst at the state of America right now: by Reviewing Yo' Ass and posting it here. Reviews are out of 5 stars.

People who need things “ELI5”.

I have one question for people who need things explained like they’re 5: have you thought of aspiring a little higher? I am presuming these are the same people who struggle with correct apostrophe placement. When I first started out in the workforce, my job involved some public speaking. I was sent on a public speaking course and one of the key themes was that the content of your talk should be aimed at a 12-year-old so that everyone could understand. How have we got to 5? Does your brain hurt if you use it? Have you missed the message that learning new things as you get older staves off cognitive decline? I read that human IQ has increased over time, but I wonder where these people are today. I think they must have founded a colony on an island somewhere.

Society becoming stupider by the day: 1 star.
