So HereWeGo dings every time I exceed the posted speed limit, even by 1 mile, and Mapquest just took me to the wrong damn address. Any other non-Google recommendations?

I’m less than 10 minutes into the new “Lovett or Leave It” - now, apparently with an added laugh track. Hey, @jonlovett.bsky.social, what’s up? You pumping laughing gas into your new studio?

Been burnt out once. Will do anything I can to prevent it again. Everything was soooo hard. Even opening my mail (back when we still got mail) felt like climbing Mt Everest.

Soon Yi’s rough history with being Woody Allen’s "daughter turned wife," and then victim-blaming other survivors and befriending Epstein. It’s heinous and I had a lot to say about it. Listen to it here🗡️: Patreon.com/LaneMoore

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
