Got a chance to see my grand-dog this past weekend and she was so happy to see me πŸ₯Ή. You can’t tell from this photo with half my face and Liberty refusing to look at the camera, but she was thrilled.

I had to bring my marriage license when my 16 year old daughter went to get her driver's license because her birth certificate had my maiden name rather than my married name. I had to dig up my marriage license in the year of our Lord 2025 even though I have been divorced for years now.

Wow, I am really sorry, Sam. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and that there are no other injuries. So glad your son is okay.

It is always a bad sign when political disputes cannot be resolved at the ballot box. Bad. Regardless of your politics. It’s bad.

Raise your hand if you would describe yourself as untrustworthy. I'm trying to see something.

My daughter just asked me if the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync were still alive. I made her watch β€œI want it that way” in three different mediums (original, Brooklyn 99, Sphere) and she had to do the Bye, Bye, Bye dance. Don’t play with me.

Surprising no one. Louisiana adopted this map with the hope that it would be invalidated.

One of the best parts of my job is welcoming our new 1Ls to the law school. They were extremely lucky to receive words of wisdom from Gould Board of Councilors member David Taghioff (CEO, Library Pictures). ✌🏾✌🏾

I am in the states and I had no idea that this came out. Thanks for posting! Otherwise, I would still be clueless.

I need to know if this is a just recap of the last season or what because you can't just drop a new Demon Slayer movie that finishes the story without fanfare

4th option: justiciable by Congress (which, in this political environment, is the equivalent of non-justiciable, sigh)

My mom, who would not let us have dogs growing up, LOVES Liberty. It's such an odd phenomenon with grandparents.

Liberty is leaving to go with my daughter back to college in a couple of weeks. I should be happy she is leaving. She pooped in my room this morning. She has expensive ailments and vet appts take time. She always steals my spot on the couch and she snores. Why am I not happy.

Just watched the trailer for Seven 2 and I am convinced Morgan Freeman is the vampire who made Remmick.
