Spicy take: most people who complain about appliances with WiFi have never used it and do not understand the benefits.

AMC wants $84.72 for a family of four (two under 12) to see a 90-minute movie (Dogman). How in god's name do movie theaters exist anymore? I'll just wait a month, buy the movie, and watch it in the comfort of my own home. #MovieTheatersSuck

These cabinets appointments are hilariously awful. It's almost like he's just testing how far the congressional buffoons will fall over themselves to "bend the knee" to a wannabe dictator. We're all going to be full of regret in four years. Guaranteed.

My daughter has joined a basketball team, so I decided to have a hoop installed next to our driveway. Super exciting!
