Two things I just came across that go in trash today: the high yearly fee Amex I (almost) got talked into opening at a Delta counter, and that letter from you that I can (almost) read all of

Every time I see an ad with this guy, I think: "I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I look like."

A year ago today I was talking a walk in the woods that was showing signs of spring. Today, it's yet another freezing gray ice storm and "winter advisory" coinciding with the most difficult times I've experienced in probably years. Maybe I'll watch The Ice Storm to cheer myself up

Sometimes I'm reminded that there was a time, not THAT long ago, when nurses were commonly depicted in media as essentially sex workers, and not as medical professionals

Hegseth calling on a member of the press by saying, "YOU, TIE!" when it looks like many of the press pool are wearing ties, is certainly on brand 🤡

Hey autocorrect, there's almost zero chance that I, a solidly secular person, am typing "inshallah", but you sure seem keen to make me use it

Not to make it about economics, but that plane right there constitutes the budget of my city for the next 27 years

I am very nearsighted. I got glasses when I was 12 (+ learned you're actually supposed to be able to see leaves on trees), and was doing a LOT of theater. I didn't get contacts until I was 17, so I was taking my glasses off before I hit the stage, and worked only seeing a few feet in front of me 😬

Wings - Mull Of Kintyre
YouTube video by PaulMcCartneyVEVO Wings - Mull Of Kintyre

After watching "Man On The Run", I checked out the video of "Mull Of Kintyre", and there is something so moving about the pipe band entrance. And dig those pedal tones. youtu.be/Plhtk_XJqhM?...

There's always that one person who "jokingly" points out the things about you that you're most painfully insecure about

I posted recently about how great Neil Sedaka was sounding. So sad to hear he's gone. I actually saw him when I was a kid. Now as a professional music (degreed!) person, I appreciate him even more as one of our best pop songwriters, a master of melody + mood. And by all accounts, a really nice man.

If we're going to call out people like Oprah for their contributions to diet culture toxicity (and we should), let us not forget Valerie Bertinelli, who spent *years* weeping on camera about how "fat" she was (she was never fat) as a Jenny Craig spokesperson, and she continues to talk about weight

The h in whoa goes wherever you want it: woah or woha or hwoa — they're all good. It's just a very accepting word

Holding your (non-actor, not part of the narrative) baby in the ads for your bathroom remodeling company just because...it's cute, I guess?...anyways, I'm clearly not the target audience for said cuteness. Carry on. 😬
