I saw a sign yesterday advertising the “McFlurpy.” I wonder if they’re any good.

I'm disappointed to see California voted to gerrymander. The way to oppose something wrong is not to jump into the mud with it.

The Atlanta Braves are the oldest professional baseball team still playing to have never won the Heisman Cup.

How are you observing Amazon Prime Day this year?

I was talking with a friend recently who mentioned the recent deepfakes/memes President Trump has been posting of various Democrats.

It's a plotspiracy!

Remember, lycopene does not cause lycanthropy.

I'm sure we all regret some of our hair and/or fashion choices.

How many times have you sinned today?
