there's just no reason for them to be there. Dems should be hosting town halls across this country, taking to constituents, getting fired federal workers on stage with a microphone and an audience, hijacking the national discourse. cannot tell you how sick i am of these hollow instagram stunts.

There are already too many blackletter fonts in the world, is what I say to myself after trying to create my own blackletter font.

Kid: Did you see Doechii won Best Rap Album at the Grammy's last night?
Me: That is bad ass! Anyway, have I ever shown you my mint condish 1969 copy of Fairport Convention's "Unhalfbricking"?

As a kid you grow up thinking the best thing about being an adult is gonna be stuff like eating whatever you want and going to bed whenever you like but it turns out the best thing is actually just being able to use as many paper towels as you damn well like without getting in trouble

Common short conversations we have in our house daily, part 4…

Me: Coffee or tea?
Wife: What are you having?
Me: Coffee. But it's fine, I can make you tea. It's no bother.
Wife: Oh I don't mind, I'll have coffee with you this time.
Me: Okay, as long as you're sure.
Wife: I'll have tea.

Exactly. But honestly would it really hurt them to create a hugely popular Instagram account dedicated to our incredible music sensibilities? Seems like the least they could do.

My kid said the same thing. I mean you can't take it with you, can you?

Trying to find a good balance between "life as we know it might be over" and "oh my god this Icelandic chocolate is AMAZE"

Wrote "sorry for missing your precious email" instead of "sorry for missing your previous email" in a message to a potential new client and I feel like I might not be hearing from them again

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on ship and in a shuttlebay! Man I love shuttlebays. We see Picard followed closely by Worf entering from the corridor. It's an action shot though, even though this is a picture you can just tell they're walking with purpose and swift movement into a very important scenario with big future space implications. Closed caption reads, "(loud commotion, chicken clucking)"
