Yes, I sometimes slip in a Trumpism because it makes me laugh.
The audiobook offering included in Spotify Premium is incredible. Almost any book I can think of (which is many!) is included in the monthly subscription. I am a longtime Audible user, so I can't switch, but I have bifurcated my listening now.
This Epstein List drop was lots of build up and zero satisfaction. I feel like Stormy Daniels.
Everyone on this little rectangle of doom is trying to control your feelings.
Good evening. Just a reminder that the result of too much time spent on websites controlled by algorithms usually leads to depression. Do something tomorrow that enriches your soul and brings you joy instead of spending time here.

Iβm watching Tricky Dick on Max, and itβs fascinating to see the parallels between Nixonβs early life and career and JD Vanceβs story.
You know you've had a weird career in media when you've both been a reporter at a Hillary for President appearance and an "artist" at Skankfest.
I desperately need to walk around some small Indiana town feeling 90 degree heat and full sun on my face. I can't take it anymore.
