Tall guy is crouched for action like he thinks Lil' Ray is a leprechaun and he's about to get him some Lucky Charms

Bari Weiss’s first project for CBS brought in a phenomenal 145 viewers. Love this for her.

This time of year, they’re attracted to moist places, where females are more likely to hang out. It’s a good reminder to check your tub before turning the water on and stepping in.

I had to start the morning by rescuing a house spider that had become trapped in the well of the stainless steel kitchen sink. Both of us survived!

Yep. I've been sharing this with folks since I read it in 2020.

Our natural instinct is to normalize. Especially, since there are so many pieces of the America we remember still extant. But the pieces, and the narrative, no longer cohere.

Ok, your words are conciliatory, but your eyes suggest I shouldn’t turn my back on you around sharp objects

Republican US House speaker Mike Johnson, a small, bespectacled white man in his 50s, dressed in a dark blue suit, with white shirt and red tie, his hair is dark with slight streaks of gray. With his right hand, he is holding up a word block that reads simply PORN. Paired with the look on his face, it almost appears as if he is pictorally representing what he is thinking about most of the day.

If you are very quiet and remain very still, you can actually hear the past.

Sometimes, it's a soft hum, others, a mumbled whisper. Sometimes, it screams.

I just took out my original copy of the Life In Hell books last week. They’re still brilliant!

It’s OK. I live in an area where the spiders are not dangerous and the house spiders are gentle giants who just want to meet some lady spiders

It's house spider season! (They're everywhere)

I mean, instead of doing a "comedy festival" to whitewash a tyrannical government, he could've, I don't know, read a book?

Ok, and this one? I see two drunken elephants stomping on the Liberty Bell while simultaneously strangling a giant toad that sits on top of it. What’s that one mean, Doc?

One question: what is this “calm” that you refer to and where can I get some?

‘It could be worse’ is always factually correct.
