Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…
Extremely grateful to @harvilla.bsky.social for filling my morning commute with Great Muppet Caper clips, however, respectfully sir, the best line in the whole movie is when Lew Zealand says, “I got some paper towels!” youtu.be/UEnMljekPS4?...
After nearly a year in, I can say that I thought giving up Amazon would be so much more difficult but it’s been a breeze. My semi-monthly, Monday night, one-hour-before-close-when-it’s-not-crowded Costco runs are a delight.

One of my favorite things about parenthood is how the household vernacular gets passed down with no context. When dramatically pausing, my children both bellow “WAIT FOR IIIIIT” but have never seen Psych and have no idea they are quoting it.

“The Trolley Song” from Carousel during my morning commute
I got a free 3 months of Sirius radio w/ my new lease, which I’ve always enjoyed while it lasts and then don’t subscribe. However, the number of times the showtunes station has life preserver buoyed my spirit from despair and spiraling in the last 2 weeks has me seriously considering paying for it.
