Bad news: I have to raise my prices. Good news: Not for people that buy from us consistently. Best news: My most consistent customers will actually save money.

For everyone keeping count, there are no more “final” straws.

Everything is a distraction from our other distractions.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I wonder what they have planned for the next installment of January 6.

He’s what’s going to happen next: Nothing Because we live in an age of well-compensated cowards, if there are ANY lasting charges brought against him, they will be posthumous in nature. And only after a critical majority have denied supporting or enabling him.

That Abby lady is not looking to help anyone. She’s a professional agitator who resonates with people who are unhappy. And I’m sure SHE is very happy in her life but happiness doesn’t get nearly as much engagement as anger.

Saw people who complained about being sick for days, still show up to New Year’s Eve parties. I wonder what it feels like to be that irresponsible and selfish.

I would recommend postponing the Rose Bowl but there’s rain forecasted for the next 5 days.

I just want to be a good person around good people. Yet, both feel like impossible tasks.

Why do people enjoy heavily-scented things?

Is Taylor Swift pregnant?

The pain on Max’s face in the cooldown room. How do I frame this image? How do I bottle this emotion? #F1 #FormulaOne

Do not understand how people go through life with no functioning feedback loop. Might be my primary pet peeve.

#TheGame Me to Harvard:

Pluribus review after Episode 1 Feels like Vince Gilligan got bullied out of making what he makes best: slow-burn television. Will continue to watch but it’s 50/50 at this point.

So glad I didn’t grow up in an era where overstimulation was the baseline.

Felt like a good choice for today’s Nature-ish walk. #HiddenBrain

I’m having a good Tuesday. Not taking these small wins for granted. Not anymore.

November 4, 2025 is officially National Keke Palmer Day. I will not expound. iykyk

Only 3 hours until midnight. 🥲

People wondering why there’s a baseball game that happens to fall on Halloween as if we don’t intentionally have football on Thanksgiving and basketball on Christmas.

You remember outside dogs? Do they still exist?

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

How is it $800 off when it shouldn’t even cost $800???

I need a good nature show. Feels like there’s a few I missed.

“You were the pioneer of Neo-soul and that changed and transformed rhythm & blues forever. We will never forget you.”

I’m not big on reality talent competitions because they’re typically overproduced but tonight’s #DWTS has been great. Actual storylines driving the show. Andy with his daughter Jordan with her dad Topanga with Mr. Feeny (yes, those are their real names)

Why can’t everybody just be different versions of me?

If you’re not “happy” about the ceasefire that kind of tells us everything we need to know about you.

It’s going to happen in the most random way.

Mississippi recently declared a public health emergency because its infant mortality rate has surged. And with Medicaid cuts coming, experts fear the crisis may worsen in other states.

Aside from the obvious **gestures wildly** I’ve had a higher-than-normal level of low-grade anxiety over that last two weeks. I’ve exercised, eaten well, stayed mostly hydrated 👀 and slept decently. But I haven’t read in two weeks. Read your books, kids. 📚

Required listening today.

Can’t express how comforting it is to learn that your childhood pediatrician was not only a “fun doctor” but also an amazing human being. Rest easy.

Ordering a caffeinated beverage with that name only serves to disrespect the person you think you’re honoring.

Why are people just now saying things are terrifying?

Jerry left Ben & Jerry’s.

I don’t think the people who NEED to be angry to function understand just how angry Happy people get from HAVING to get & be angry. — I can’t imagine the peak I reach being someone else’s baseline. That has to be exhausting.

Crazy to get fired for pressing play.

We should be able to mark accounts that we don’t follow and never want to follow, as a warning to our future selves.
