I think you might like this. I know. WHo am I to be telling you what you like? And the answer is: No one. It is inappropriate. I have no idea who you are. And yet...and yet....

I made this a few years ago. But tonight i finally fixed the subtitles, which were a nightmare. And I am so pleased with myself that I am reposting it. It is the story of our dog Puppyboy, who tried his best to get a game of ball going with a weeping newly divorced man. youtu.be/G_JD8PEzgEQ?...

I love most of Halloween. But I have to admit I have my doubts about seeing this at my dentist's office.

Time to catch up on Milan, Paris and New York fashion weeks so you can have a clear head when Los Angeles and London fashion weeks need your attention. My edition of WHO WORE IT BEST is definitely THE QUICKEST WAY.

My explanation for a lot of what is going on.

Our current president obviously is stuck in the early 1960s. I also think that instead of an emotional infrastructure, he has a stored folder of 60's sit com cliches. Therefore I have organized a lesson in 'sit com' using only his recent real headlines. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/sit-com-10...

Allow me to teach you how to contruct the beats of a classic sit com using only recent headlines merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/sit-com-10...

I keep reading that people are upset about gas prices being over $4.00. This is what it costs at all the stations remotely near where I live in L.A. (and has been this price for a LONG time)

I offer this in the hopes that no one who attends the Emmy broadcast this or any other year will experience anything close to this dopey.

I always get a little nostalgic knowing that the Emmy awards are about to be broadcast (Sept 14) Allow me to take you on a journey back to 1983, as I tell you about the time I attended. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/my-award-s...

This is my FAVORITE piece of look-alike AI slop that keeps turning up on the home page of my search engine.

Is strangulation the best way to solve a contentious argument? Well, actually there are other ways. Let's examine them.

Who better than I to offer advice on what couples need to understand in order to fight fairly. Answer: No one. No one better than I to offer this advice. And I have proof. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/important-...

Just watched a documentary on Netflix about the late great opinion writer and journalist, Molly Ivins. She had a unique voice and style all her own. Here she is telling a very short story with a great punchline and a moral. youtu.be/WXToviObdoA?...

If you read this, you will either be glad you didnt meet me in my 20s or sorry. If you feel sorry, its good I dont know who you are

I had so many incredibly good ideas when I was 20. Weird how for some reason they don't seem all that great now.

I have a new contemporary movie rating system to add to The Bechdel Test. It involves labeling the film with the number of minutes you would watch it at home before deciding that you're done for today. Time to turn it off and head out to the gym.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

I know I am late but i am just trying to help.

So sorry I am late with my reporting on all the summer Couture Weeks. I have no excuse. But at least I posted something before all the fall Fashion Weeks come spinning and ricocheting at us like a cyclone.

I have been derelict in my duties it's been a while since I offered a fashion report. Though its certainly not complete, here is my spring/summer WHO WORE IT BEST round up. You're welcome. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/who-wore-i...

It's important to be careful with this stuff. So before I do as they suggest and 'make my friends day by forwarding", first I am checking to see which of my friends are into gun violence and ticks.

The more I think about this, the more I pat myself on the head for having a solid solution to an apparently intractable problem.

I nominate July 8 for a new Federal Holiday! Congratulations EJC!!!

Maybe the solution to all this midterm elections brouhaha is to just make sexual assault a requirement for running for congress.

I've just signed an executive order: All future documentaries about successful rock stars spiraling into drug addiction are hereby forbidden. Our civilization has hit its threshold and the cultural ecosystem in which we live is at a dangerous saturation point.Thank you for your attn to this matter.

AI just revealed "The 5 men who drafted the Declaration of Independence were known as the "Committee of 5." :Thomas Jefferson of Va., John Adams of Mass., Benjamin Franklin of Penn., Roger Sherman of Conn., and Robert R. Livingston of New York." I hope Sherman and Livingston fired their PR people.

Now that the 4th of July business is behind us, time to focus on my idea, drawn from real life, of VACATION SAFETY. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/its-july-s...
