My mom asked me to hold her sling cookie and I opened my purse to put it away and there are 10,000 crackers in there. Is this why old women carry such big purses? Spontaneous cracker appearances?

We’re doing a grand tour of CareNow facilities. Hopefully we can get my mom’s elbow x-rayed at this one.

The ambient music at the urgent care has the piano part from Halloween. It’s much less relaxing than I’m sure it’s supposed to be.

Most men going into battle with a sword that small don’t wave it around in public.
It’s quite telling that so many right-wing dealers in nostalgia are embracing the aesthetics of modern AI-generated art. Can’t actually find real images of the imagined past to which you want us to return? No problem; just generate it with AI.

I've spent a great deal of time in Greenwood and Mt. Ararat over the holidays and I think I'm coming to accept that some Edmondsons are gone and, more frustratingly, some of them have been lost in the time I have been looking for them.

If your library website says that something is online, that something should be the actual thing, not the finding aid about it.

Rough day at Grandma and Grandpa’s police station. Someone had been using pigeon meat at the Transformer Chik-fil-a and OSHA investigated the bad guys headquarters and fined them for not giving required breaks.

It is Monday. Don’t take a pretty girl to a burger joint to tell her you don’t see her as a woman, but a person, and then start talking about Jesus.

If I had the money for it, I’d hire Michael B. Jordan to walk into a few museums and ask to see the provenance of their Edmondson sculptures. Just ask for documentation that any family members ever got paid for their loved one’s graves being looted.

I will happily go talk to anybody and be wrong as fuck for $50,000 a pop. I’ll tell you that.
The absolute disconnect of a class of rich political commentators from the reality of America should be studied.
Ezra Klein who has been famously wrong about nearly everything over the last 5 years does not deserve a years salary for a talk.

Okay, one question I still have after everything that happened today is this: Why is White Bluff 50% restaurants and why are most of those pizza places? How does one small town support approximately 700 pizza places?
