Just saw Obama speaking in Georgia. Didn't mention men's asses even once. Creepy.

Bob Seger took Glenn Frey under his wing when Frey was a young aspiring musician. Seger advised Frey to get over his fear of writing bad songs. He said, "You just keep writing and keep writing, and eventually you'll write a good song." True in music as in life.

I've achieved the elusive Third Level of Forgetfulness: I remember (1) why I went into the room, and (2) what I was looking for, but (3) can't remember why I needed what I was looking for. 🙄

Tried to improve on @Lori_IslandGirl's comment. It can't be done.

This is what happens to a heaping handful of spinach after you saute it for a few minutes. (Salt shaker and pen are for scale.)

This gets a retweet for the reference to "The Bluebook: A Uniform system of Citation" alone.

Yeah, I can totally see Ramaswamy pulling that horrendous ad against Amy Acton after learning that Acton's biological mom was convicted of cruelty to animals. Everyone has their breaking point.

If Trump publicly came out against "thespianism," you can be sure thousands of MAGA morons would show up at his next rally with signs and tee-shirts opposing it.

Help! I just got my updated DNA results, and it turns out I am part Slovenian, and suddenly I can't speak English!

Roasted chicken, pork, broccoli, carrots and Napa cabbage for dinner last night. One of my all-time favorite meals. (Could have "staged" the food better, though.😕)

Kind of a no-brainer of a prediction, but if Republicans lose the House and keep the Senate, Trump will claim a total and complete victory and a mandate for his remaining two miserable years as president.

Trump's post on waiving sanctions makes a lot more sense in the original Russian.
Trump’s decision on Russia is very simple. He dispatched Witcoff and his son-in-law to negotiate business deals, so Trump can make money. The fact that Putin is helping Iran kill American soldiers is of no import to Trump.

Some movies are so good that knowing the ending doesn't spoil them a bit.

My garage is filled with assorted random items -- leftover Ikea parts and tools, packaging material, springs, nuts, screws, bolts -- because I've convinced myself they'll be perfect for something "one day."

If Zelenskyy was really serious about convincing Trump to send Ukraine military aid, he'd hit the gym every once in a while and work on those glutes. 😕
