Non-timely hot take: I'm Just Ken is a damn banger of a song that manages to be funny and poignant with a melody that sticks in your head. Mark Ronson is just so f*cking talented it's insane. That goes for Baby Goose too. Sick.

The fruit flies that have invaded my house are driving me mad. I chase them around like a crazy person with folded magazines or the vacuum. Sometimes I just clap my hands in the air and then cuss vehemently. How could letting bananas get ripe incur such punishment? Never again.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm so happy that this is a local STL channel. KSDK right?

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… β€œTop corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

I want to make a statement as a mother: My coworker shares far too many pics of her kids and I'm sick of having to pretend to react to them in the chat. No, Rebecca, I'm not actually looking at your toddler in a sandbox with heart eyes. I'm exhausted from pretending. Where's the Unsubscribe emoji?

If a dentist counts: "You should stop eating so much fruit." and "You should brush your teeth after every time you eat."

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

β€œThe easy thing to do in life is to sit back, relax, drink wine, have fun with friends β€” not bring a lawsuit against the government,” Feler said. β€œBut it seems lazy not to seek accountability, especially since I have the privilege to be able to do this.” BRAVO Mr Feler! You are a good citizen.

It's amazing what rest can do when you need it. It's been a physically and emotionally taxing week and I felt I didn't have the energy to do life or work. Bleak, negative, sad. After a nap I can see the bright side and am getting it done. Don't diminish rest, my friends (also talking to myself)

I often think about all the people whose lives have been ripped apart by ICE. And then I get really depressed bc I feel so helpless. So when I see stories like this I donate immediately. It's a drop in the bucket, but it makes me feel a tiny bit better. Maybe you'll feel better too?
