How am I like 40% over my life on first attempts to plug in the USB cord. Doesn't add up

I'm constantly struck by the media's eagerness to pin something on Zohran and inability to find anything but the most piddling shit

The toddler has gotten really in touch w/ his emotions and talks about them a ton. We got off the phone with his mom (who's out of town) and he goes "I'm sad." I told him his grandparents are visiting & he said "I'm gonna be shy." Given who his parents are he had no chance but to be a sensitive guy

I thought at first this subhead was a funny jab but it's actually a good-faith summary of all that's left of her position bc she wouldn't stand by anything else

It's amazing that Jean-Pierre had like the top comms job in the country. She couldn't answer simple questions about her own book--to the point where I'm unsure what its basic argument is. She also starts 5-6 answers with some variation with "Wait wait wait hold on"

I'd be so good at taking a sabbatical to write a book (just the sabbatical part)

Such a dagger to open the dryer and be reminded it's the toddler's clothes in there. A load of laundry can hold 5 million tiny jeans and sweaters. I have to take tomorrow off just to finish

OMG

We've told the toddler so many times "It's okay" when he (for instance) spills something that now he says it himself about his own misdeeds, which is very cute but I'm not always ready to say it's okay that he went Jackson Pollock with yogurt in the backseat

Mr. Handsome

I know nothing about this guy but anyone who wears those sunglasses probably has personal matters that warrant a leave of absence

Foundational text I return to time and again

"There are nuances to this Nazi tattoo." Look man, I don't have the bandwidth for all that. Go do something else

Baloncesto would be a beautiful name for a baby girl

We should always be littering our lawns with goth shit, not just around Halloween

I love him

Curtis Sliwa Tiny Desk Concert

To every woman on Love is Blind ever

A beautiful and well-founded college football truism is that road games are tougher at night bc the fans have been drinking all day and are scarier

Let's all pool our money and meet this important need of me having this jersey

When Voodoo was released Questlove wrote a blog post going behind the scenes on each track that ended with this "please have an open mind" given how avant garde it was. Kinda charming that he was so sheepish about what's clearly one of the best records ever

After watching that documentary it was so obvious this would happen that it's plausible the CEO wanted to die on his little boat

Sports nicknames peaked with The Big Unit

I like "chops" as a synonym for skill and think we should use it outside the arts. Gonna start saying the paralegal has chops when he makes a pivot table

Brother I can't help but

D'Angelo had a lot more to give to the world but he'd already given so much. He gave me specifically more than I can say. What eats at me is that he seemed finally in a place where he could give to himself. He deserved to have decades more of that. He deserved to grow old

The twin stories this week of "the next gen of Republican leaders are Nazis" and "the GOP is gonna keep the House bc they're locking in election-proof power": I don't feel great about it

I've posted about this before but someone should write a deep-dive on how Love is Blind changed when the producers started stopped waterboarding the contestants with tequila and let them eat and sleep. In earlier seasons ppl would make life-altering choices due to the GITMO Spring Break treatment

Colleague had several edits at the start of my long and laborious document but clearly ran out of steam

Not the point but when Newsom reviews the tape he'll be disappointed in how he's sitting here
