Honestly we should have all known we were in a dangerous global decline as soon as Hollywood struggled to make a new movie about Blade
Given that time frame, guess it’s time someone wrote The Bible 2.
I used to make ads during the era of fun ad making and it was always a sign of a bad ad if you saw a celebrity in it because that meant the creative team couldn't write a good spot and the only hope of selling it was a familiar face. How many ads had celebrities in them tonight?
They moved an entire farm and a power station onto the field in five minutes and the Pats can't move a football 10 yards
Someone is going to write a dissertation about this half time show and I will read it.

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
I will admit these photos do make it seem like I kicked the baby offstage

One of my priors is that things are really bad if I am coming across news related to the bond market.
Really wish my husband and I could just be normal every time we hear “What’s in the box?” on the Ms. Rachel tonie.

They're making cars too curvy now. Everything looks like a dang oval. Do not explain the reasons to me please. I need cars to look like this
It only took us three attempts over two days to get all six adults in the same room while the one-year-old is awake to finish opening all of the presents.

People are here for the funeral of the penny
A “celebration of life” sign
People are sitting down
An obituary that reads “Rest in Pence”
Currently at the funeral for the penny, happening at the Lincoln Memorial:
Want to add that traffic advisories from the police should probably be issued more than a day in advance and issued somewhere other than Facebook. I only even found out what was going on thanks to a local news article. Would have been nice if that article was published more than 2 hours in advance.
