Why is Cake so expensive? The band, not the baked good.

Sure, you could buy a deadbolt, but have you considered getting a broken doorknob that only opens for people who know the secret trick?

My best advice is probably to marry someone who wakes up before you so that you can steal their blanket when they get out of bed and then you've got TWO blankets and you get to be so, so warm and cozy.

Dirty Dancing portrays Jerry Orbach's character as overbearing but idk. Should Baby Houseman be allowed to enter the garden of sexual maturity with Johnny Castle, a fully adult man and self described summer camp gigolo, if she wants? Of course! But it would be weirder if her dad was psyched about it

Gas station culture in PA continues to blow my mind. Had to go to a grand opening for work yesterday and I have been to frat parties that were more subdued than this place, and all at 8am no less. Just, wow.

A thing I hate about being a homeowner is I have a favorite mouse trap.

My brother trying to teach my niece how to carry cash: Brother: Where do you keep your money before you buy something? Niece: In my pocket. Brother: And where does the change go after they hand it to you? Me, yelling from the other room: IN THE TIP JAR

Just learned the phrase "shooters shoot" so if you plan on taking any shots please call me first so I can say it. Or after. I think it works either way.

Visiting friends with kids and there are a dozen post-its on the fridge that say just "poop" Me: So, are these part of some kind of potty training system or something? Dad friend: Uh, no, that's just her favorite new word to write. Me: So they are purely decorative? Dad friend (Deep sigh): Correct.

Saw Dog Man with my niece and that movie is just RoboCop for kids.

Ah, the soothing nightly ritual of flipping every light in my parents' kitchen on and off until I find the one I'm looking for. If someday I find out I'm secretly the heiress to a light switch manufacturing fortune I'd be surprised, but not surprised surprised.

Thanks for the suggestions, Microsoft Word, but I think you and I both know this document is getting saved right to the desktop. The sooner we stop pretending, the easier this will be.

I've seen footage of Sidney Poitier calling Harry Belafonte "B", and David Lynch famously called McLaughlin "Kale". It takes a secure ass man to call his guy friend by a cute little nickname and I love it. Fellas, give your bros cute little nicknames. Fight the patriarchy.

WILLFUL IGNORANCE: there's an -ology for that. How to people get duped? What's the truth? How do you talk to others with seemingly very different realities? We discuss in this freshly updated Agnotology ep with Stanford prof Dr. Robert Proctor: www.alieward.com/ologies/agno...

What is the best thing about working from home and why is it having fried eggs for lunch?

I never want to hear anyone say anything bad about child-free people. We are generous souls.

There's probably nothing to be done about it but the vibes at this Lowe's are off.

Do you also have that one mirror in your house that you think makes you look extra cute, and why is mine the door of the microwave?

Hey doctors, can you please warn a girl next time? Making me have to just suss it out when I start to think I can feel my heartbeat in my hair was, frankly, rude.

I'm sorry for the things I said when I didn't realize I was on a bonkers dose of steroids.

@ologies.bsky.social remains the democratically elected queen of my heart.

WHAT IS THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION EVERN FOR? We have an Ology for that. 2, actually. Law scholar @proftolson.bsky.social walks us thru the whole thing & then in a bonus: I read the whole thing to you. This ep came out a few years back but seems relevant, yeah? www.alieward.com/ologies/nomo...

The news continues to be bleak as hell, so I'm holding tight to the kernel of joy that is the Rilo Kiley reunion. As I prepare to drop some cash on tickets for what is apparently a West Coast only tour* I put together my dream set list, along with what I imagine our collective experience might be.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you
