What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

Do we remember how Gatsby ended? Sad.

Should be Department of War Criminals. Have a nice day.

I like to read a book or two from the "Top 10 Banned Book List" each BBW. This year's is John Green's "Looking for Alaska." Let the children read!

Rereading "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay." Michael Chabon is one of my favorite writers, and this one is a favorite. What are you reading? #booksky

A cartoon featuring a small penguin against a solid pink background. The illustration is divided into two parts. In the top part, the penguin stands with open wings, displaying a neutral expression. A speech bubble above it states, "You just triggered my fight-or-flight response." In the bottom part, the same penguin is holding a small black handgun. Its expression and pose remain the same. A speech bubble reads, "But I'm a flightless bird..."

I shared this before on the book of faces. It's a favorite meme.

I just started rereading the book!

I just started watching, because I adore all things Palladino and my niece is a ballet dancer. I think I'll need a couple of episodes to settle in. Their dialogue is fast enough without it being in two languages, even though I understand French!

Is this why he didn't put his hand on the Bible at his inauguration?

Are we surprised?

Also what if the president tries to enter a country that bars the entry of convicted American felons? Actually, that’s kind of the other country’s problem, isn’t it? 🤔
