Turned 59 today. Came home and found nothing in the mailbox except this. Ugh. In related news, Danny de Vito is very happy to be 81 and fully in his Ed McMahon stage.

Happy Cory H Leggings Review Day to all who celebrate!

Two photos of woman in eggplant- colored leggings, lying supine and prone on rocks. She's offered the pictures in support of her 5 star review of said leggings, stating "Can I just say that I will be reordering them in every color. Here is me rolling and sliding down a mountain because I was too scared to get up. My leggings did not rip my even a little bit and I got stuck on rocks and trees."

Found the perfect gift for ol' Nap-O-Leon.

Two white corduroy slippers. The right slipper says "Resting My Eyes" and the left says "Not Sleeping."

Merriam-Webster engaging in some light nerd-bashing in one of their newest games.

My parents were married on 7/10/65. They say the secret of their longevity is: small lies, cheap beer, & laughter. Lots of it. Mom says the same thing about Dad that Anne Bancroft said about Mel Brooks: "I get excited when I hear his key in the door; I know the party's about to start" (paraphrasing)

Young, just-married couple standing on the steps of a church. The groom is in a brown suit and very narrow tie. The bride is wearing a pale pink veil, pale pink tea length dress, and pale pink heels. Her maid of honor is to the groom's right and is wearing a pale blue fascinator and pale blue dress. She looks a little sad. The best man is in a black suit and very narrow tie and is to the bride's left. He looks only slightly less sullen than the maid of honor.

I know, I know---I could be in Europe where it's much worse, but it's damn near 1130p & still feels like 92. A week into summer. Ugh. What's even worse is I've become something I never thought I'd be: someone who posts a forecast screenshot. Time to watch Fortitude & yearn for the cold

Fell asleep during Frasier & woke up to one of my fave scenes from Transparent. Having waited tables during college, I recognize Vicki as that customer who thinks 5 bucks is a great tip no matter how high the bill or how much they've run you ragged. Now, *20%* is when they stab you.

Scene from Transparent. Maura, played by Jeffrey Tambor, has just told Vicki, played by Anjelica Houston, that she's cheap and a terrible tipper. Vicki, thinking she's defending herself, proves Maura's point by saying, "I ALWAYS tip 15%," to which Maura replies "15% is what you give for bad service. 15% is when they STAB you!"

Update: the five minutes it took me to open this gorgeous '22 Seghesio zinfandel was totally worth it.

Glass of red wine in tumbler painted with flowers and the word "turnt" inside a grey oval rimmed with black, atop a stack of four books that I've been meaning to read for years (Phil Klay's "redeployment," Mary Norris' "Between You & Me," Lion Feuchtwanger's "The Oppermans," and Martin Amis' "Inside Story"), which are atop an old wrought iron patio table for two.

I didn't know it was possible to love Widow's Bay any more than I already do, and then THIS happened!!!!!!

If your mom is hard to buy for mine, may I suggest a bottle of gasoline?

Saw this on the WW app. It stuns me that there are people who won't even risk trying a condiment they might not like w/o input from 1000 strangers. That's right, more than 1K people helped resolve this quandary. Sadly, "Buy it, don't buy it, who the fuck cares" wasn't an option.

Fuck that plums poem. The Young Housewife is superior. Does this make me a sociopath? Maybe.

At ten a.m. the young housewife
moves about in negligee behind
the wooden walls of her husband’s house.
I pass solitary in my car.

Then again she comes to the curb
to call the ice-man, fish-man, and stands
shy, uncorseted, tucking in
stray ends of hair, and I compare her
to a fallen leaf.

The noiseless wheels of my car
rush with a crackling sound over
dried leaves as I bow and pass smiling.

Britannica getting topical today.... Thanks for not 86ing this question, Britannica.

Question from today's Tightrope game on Britannica.com. Question is "In China, "64" is an often censored term because it can refer to which event that began on June 4, 1989?" The answer, of course, is Tiananmen Square Massacre.

I found a new therapist. If she doesn't begin sessions with "I feel for you" or "Tell me something good," I'm outta there.

Not great that "civilization" is a top lookup, although I guess it's good that people are turning to the dictionary instead of Grok or Claude or Clomper or Gadzook.

Screenshot of Merriam-Webster's most looked- up words as of 640 p.m. Civilization clocks in at number 8, 2 below fascism.

Maybe we should give this a try.

A pigeon sits to the left of text reading: Under friendly fire, US soldiers send out a homing pigeon named Cher Ami. It has a message for their allies: "For heaven's sake, stop it." It works.
