Whenever someone I know in real life shows up in the "people you may know" thing, I'm always interested to see if they're an actual human, or a red-hatted, unempathetic walnut. It takes about 3 seconds of scrolling their socials to see...but it strikes me as odd that this is something we do now.

It’s hard the even imagine how different everyday life would be if we’d chosen Kamala and the coach. They weren’t perfect, but they weren’t corrupt lunatics bent on the utter destruction of our democracy.

Another thing that makes me happy? My work as a newborn photographer. I have the very best job in the whole wide world, and documenting the cuteness of newborn babies brings me so much joy. My work: jenknightstep.com

Can we talk about the joy of public bathroom stalls where the doors and walls go all the way to the floor? Without gaps! So nice. Reason #194 the Netherlands is great.

Anyone else think it’s super-creepy that Musk wears his small child as a human shield? No? Just me? (It’s weird.)

Again: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! We have to make plain what is being torn away from us!!

Does anyone else get anxious watching videos where collectors crack graded slabs? I don’t care if it’s worth more raw than graded, it stresses me out.

Also, what does annexing Canada even look like? We send drone strikes to Ottawa? Close the border crossings at Detroit and Niagara Falls etc.? Then strafe Toronto? Like…? Canadians don’t want to be the 51st state. Hello.
