Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I think billionaires are bad no matter how generous, but at least Andrew Carnegie knew people hated he was rich, so he built libraries in every hamlet and bump on a log in America. He put his name on the front because he hoped people wouldn’t take away his wealth if they remembered his generosity.

elmo should not be collaborating with blippi. it’s like when they make paul mccartney perform with jelly roll at the grammys. this is beneath you elmo

Rejoice, baseball fans--the people who sell Cubs gear of dubious licensing status is starting to set up in the parking lot of the shopping center across the street from the stadium. Your time is at hand!

Even if you include the equity in my home in my net worth, just my lifetime giving *to my local npr station* is more than their total giving

It's kind of gray, like it's not a code requirement, but a "what is typical in the area" thing. So like, NYC listings dgaf because they're so old and small and weirdly configured, but in the suburbs there are Expectations

Them: sorry the Constitution requires that children keep dying, can't even have any tiny regulation of guns.

Also them: sorry Fourth Amendment we're going through a tunnel can't hear you

I guess we're putting in a closet in my office so we can sell the house as a four bedroom, so that's fun

Yeah, it's classic corporate-speak

This face, basically

I'm pretty sure they get around it by paying you for your time or something. But plasma replenishes pretty fast, a six month wait is wild. Even a double red blood donation is only a 12 week wait.

I have (and I've been saying that every time we watch skating lol) but my kids are 9 and 12 so I don't know how much they'd enjoy it

I figured I'd wait a bit and see if I started feeling better before doubling down, because even non-drowsy stuff can make me drowsy. So far I'm leaning towards I did take it, because the sneezing has stopped.

A kitchen with classic "honey oak" cabinets, which do not go all the way to the ceiling (creating a dust ledge). There is a range hood over the stove, and so there's a little nub of cabinet covering the vent duct. All of this would have been solved with a drop ceiling that meets the top of the cabinets.

Embrace the soffit, people

Can't remember if I just took an allergy pill or if I'm remembering taking it yesterday. What's worse, a double dose or no dose??

I lived in a ward where they wouldn't give you ANY calling if you had a beard. Half the people had two callings, but our next door neighbor had none 🫠

It does! We watch it once or twice a year

Oooh good one

Yeah, we watched that last week 😆

Continuing our Olympics Cinematic Universe, my son had selected Cool Runnings for this evening's selection. Are there other family-friendly Olympics movies??

My tax refund would have gone down significantly (thanks trump) if not for the fact that my withholding is still set to "higher paying job of dual income family" even though my husband was out of work most of last year

The fact that I could have genuine friends I knew only through plain text (no one had profile pics or avatars yet) felt like some kind of utopian dream at the time when I was an awkward kid irl. I think that dynamic is still one of the things that draws me to text-based social media over video/pics.

Turbo tax is the devil, and free tax USA are angels

I call that game the David A. Bednar

Gross

Marriage really is just saying "you're going to get a code" back and forth for the rest of your lives

...palm trees? 🤨

Convince him it is his right and privilege to be the first person on mars

He's neither American nor English-Scots-Irish; doesn't that mean he should leave??

Can’t believe we are still doing this
