Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

To the possible couple at the wine bar next to me: I tried to get the bar staff to interrupt the fact that one of you took up 90% of that conversation. It was the best I could do.

I cut all my onions for tomorrow’s dishes tonight so I won’t be a blubbering mess while cooking tomorrow. Dal, sambar, idli, aloo gobi. Might just do the turkey breast and wait on the keema mattar for the weekend.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

#sotd and yesterday, too: Mugler Innocent Rock. Because it’s been very ignored in my cabinet. And because I’m trying not to smell as stressed out as I feel. It’s almost working. Innocent = inoffensive raspberry. Rock? More like a worry stone.

Yeah. So The White House is designated a National Historic Landmark. That means: It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance. Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted. It’s not his house! WTF.

I’ve been on the verge of tears all day. I can’t imagine putting decades of service to our country, summoned to meet and having to leave all operations behind, to be told that the meritocracy you helped build wasn’t valid, that the new code is no fatties, and you’ll be armed against your country.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
