One of my favorite ice creams is plain, basic b!tch, vanilla chocolate chip that is not adulterated by mint, extra chocolate, coffee, caramel, peanut butter, or (shutter) cookie dough. You know what I can't find anywhere? Even at a Baskin Robbins or the store brand shelf. #ItsAConspiracyITellYa

Do I take pride in the fact that I kept to my Starbucks boycott for the past year and some so staunchly that I did not qualify for a birthday drink this is year? Yes. Was I concurrently a little torqued when I went to look for it, and the email was not there? Also yes.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

Another example of how racism find things for everybody, especially capitalists. I am not surprised that this happened to #Blade. They let momentum peter out on the Black Panther franchise in favor of embracing Ant-Man? Even after it blew everyone's minds & made legit blockbuster bank.

That feeling when, you haven’t gone anywhere, and yet the remote has disappeared. Like literally haven’t moved in the hour and some since you started the thing you're watching, and it's magically across the room, or somehow under the numbest portion of your behind where you can't feel it.

I lost a round of Wordle, dropping my winning percentage from 98% to 97%. I spent an inordinate amount of time this morning trying to figure out what kind of numbers I’d have to pull to reclaim my top 2% ranking. My inner hater is very displeased that scratch paper was needed to do said math.

The guess distribution is 0 games won in one guess, 11 games won in two guesses, 82 games won in three, 132 won in 4, 66 won in 5, and 19 won in 6.

Use the easy-to-navigate LCARS touch screen display to select a ship or station, whose schematic will pop up in the next window. Rest your head on your pillow and watch the stars race by, projected onto the ceiling.
