I use words and take pictures. I made two kids. I like bonfires.
Monday night activity visiting my parents in South Florida: watching a 30-year-old Barry Manilow concert (don’t laugh, we all love Barry here)
Was just trying to look up in the AP Stylebook if it was "dryer" or "drier" (my brain was freezing over it, like "flyer" or "flier), got treated to this instead
I’m now a David Grann completist and was searching for more good reading material for my trip to visit my parents and found out about THIS (didn’t know he had a new book out!)
So, three thoughts that I’m holding at the same time: * It will be interesting to see if some establishment Dems feed into this narrative of Jackson as an emotional, angry loose cannon when it looks like the head of the party has some of the same anger issues
The decrepit 80yo president stuffed into a casing of human flesh and insisting on wearing his usual formal getup while speaking for hours in oppressive heat and staring directly into the sun? Maybe this will be a true Independence Day for us all after all! Show us you can do anything!
A) Remember to whip this out when/if JD criticizes Platner for his GF issues (I have my own issues with Platner, but I’m not a bad-faith, hypocritical GOP actor), and b) kinda lowkey feels like JD may be trying to get out ahead of something now before officially throwing his hat in the ring for ‘28
I’m in a bunch of local forums for this town (I grew up in Locust Valley/Bayville) and it’s *hilarious* rn (no one officially ran for mayor, so now a zillion folks are posting their write-in campaigns and no, some of these people probably shouldn’t be running for mayor 😆) nypost.com/2026/06/09/u...
"He sees things our way"* *Unless you're a trans person My local town Dem committee has also turned off comments on most of its posts, including this one, mainly because there's a nasty fight for Suffolk County Dem chair here and they don't seem to want to hear from constituents about any of it.
Don't mean to pick on Fox (jk, I totally do), but isn't this what Pete Hegseth basically says all the time now
I have ugh feelings about Graham Platner but I'm seriously giggling that the news channel that supports a man who brags about grabbing women's pussies and other "locker room talk" is trying to make this particular nugget a thing
Not sure if this part of Chappelle's bit, but this is an interesting observation for a guy who told a lot of transgender/LGBTQ jokes
Needed to get away from as many people as possible this week #deathvalley #badwaterbasin
