A recent bit of whimsy from a friend is a Pez dispenser! Remember when they were everywhere?

Thanks for a wonderful run! Also, I enjoyed this season's reflections about ending a project.

No matter how many Dems win the senate or house, it won’t be enough given how much damage Trump has done to our nation

Thanks! This was announced in June and it is sort of funny in a meta way, yet unpleasant all the same.

Someone with whom I have a bit of work friction* is a big Eagles fan, so I follow those games' final scores, excited when they lose and [redacted] will be downtrodden for a day or two. *narcissistic psycopath

A movie I saw in the theater* as a kid. *I use "theater" when referring to a cinema and "theatre" for a performance space.

Even if I agree with your sentiment, I judge your comma splice.

I put a bit of a premium cologne sample on my wrist and smell like a suburban lady's choice candle hours later. When walkikg into a room I evoke the Mackenzie-Childs' checker pattern, an off-limits room whose furniture would have been plastic-covered in the early '90s, and passive-aggressive guilt.

The "Digger" ads are weird and Tom Cruise is not a good person. You'll find scores of less problematic people in the world of trashy reality television.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Hello everyone, I am Jake the Cat, and these are my wee pipe-cleaner legs I've come to address you on a subject which I know many of you are worried about, and that is THE FUTURE. Things have gotten real bad recently, but I'm here to tell you that things CAN and WILL be turned around. Namaste!

Sometimes I see a grocer's apostrophe on a printed sign and opt against patronizing the associated business.

There's a lot happening, and also maybe not. Plans! A busy September. Having a bunch of stuff scheduled really hits nicely.

Emmys host Mariska Hargitay is evocative of her mother, the late, great Jayne Mansfield.

My favorite response to Leonidas begging for treats when he's had plenty is to don my best Mafioso accent and say, "How you doin'?" while walking away.
