@LDopart I’ll never understand why these people think a party with no local support can win the presidency. It’s just not how that works, your “protest” vote isn’t going to change 150 years of 2 parties overnight, that’s just delusional.
I’ve been peeing blood for four days because I got a bidet.
Monday night : I feel sick. Everyone in my family has a cold. NBD.
Tuesday: man, why do I get so sick when everyone else is fine? Man flu, I guess.
Wednesday: oh shit I am really sick. Why am I not getting better?
Wednesday night: it burns…when I pee?
Thursday: cannot get fever down. Now I’m doubled over in pain after peeing. Wife convinces me to go to doctor (gentlemen, marry a good woman!). Doctor (physician assistant actually and it was the 3rd place we drove to because 🇺🇸) has me do a pee test. There’s blood in your urine. You have a UTI. Ah now I see why I wasn’t getting better from the cold! It was the UTI all along! Get antibiotics and start taking them. There’s an unlikely chance that the uti is resistant to that antibiotic. We’ll find out later.
Friday: feeling worse but am taking way more symptomatic relief so I’m functional. Take a shower, pee in my hand looking for blood to measure progress. Ohhhh that really hurts. Is that a booger? Oh no it’s coagulated blood. Oh shit. Go to the ER. Do another pee sample. Proudly produce a cup of urine, with blood and blood clots/coagulated blood for testing. They tell me the clots are probably just the infection not something worse because my kidneys don’t hurt. Young female doctor checks my penis. Says the word “excellent” while my wife is in the room. This gives me the strength to fight on. They prescribe backup antibiotics in case my uti is resistant to what I’m on but it’s unlikely. Go home.
Today: feel better actually but still moaning hard every time I pee and peeing lots of blood! Get a call from Thursday’s PA. You have E. coli that is resistant to the antibiotics you’re on. Oh shit that explains why I ended up at ER. Infection was not being affected by drugs. How the fuck did I get E. coli?
When you use a bidet it shoots water at your butthole and E. coli is in healthy people. Well I shot water into my butt which then ended up getting shot into my penis. That’s the best explanation I can come up with!
Lessons:
1. Physicians assistants can be pretty good actually! The one I saw figured out root cause and addressed possibility resistance.
2. Teaching hospitals seem to give the best care. If you’re not sure which hospital to go to near you, pick the one attached to the good university.
3. Antibiotic resistance is real! Make sure you pick the right drug and finish the course, not just for you, but for whoever gets that bacterium next.
4. Marry someone who cares about you. Man…my wife has been juggling 2 kids plus me. I am extremely grateful. That said, having her drive me to the doctor was perhaps the scariest part of this experience. Also in-laws. My wife spent 4-5 hours with me in ER. Without in laws do we have our kids with us? It takes a village.
5. Bidet poop water can get in your pee hole at the right angle and this can give you a uti.
Thats what I think I learned…but unfortunately this isn’t done. Im still peeing blood. Thanks to everyone who wished me well when I posted I was in an ER (0 people).
Hopefully round 2 antibiotics work 🙏

Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, “Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?” - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life. What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog month. Btw, Ozu today, is, fairly often, a very good boy. #Superman

@BentupTwo His entire rhetoric (and the right for that matter) on immigrants has been extremely troubling. This is just the worst we’ve seen from them so far on this front and it will unfortunately most likely continue to get worse the closer we get to the election as you said.
