We kept filling up Rusty’s bowl for the #possums. They were his friends, too.

This was so predictable and so avoidable. The Legislature voted to allow high-speed car chases because they thought that would be bad-ass. A month later, four people are dead from an unnecessary car chase.

My fellow aging GenXers, treat yourself to the “WNUF Halloween Special” if you can find it. A love letter to Halloween in the 80s.

He was just a cat, but he was my friend, my companion during good times and bad, always up to join me for a cigar and purr louder than I thought a cat should be able to. I’m so grateful he came to spend his last three-and-a-half years with us, but I miss him so much.

When #Bach composed "Air on the G String," I wonder if he knew how funny that name would be when translated into English.

I've discovered a new #MandelaEffect. I am 100% positive that "Jealous" by #GeneLovesJezebel was a hit song, yet I seem unable to find anyone else who remembers it.

Advice to #universities deciding whether to lose federal funding by not signing the #Compact or lose state funding by signing it:

Whenever you aren't sure what to do, ignore the consequences and do what you know is right.

When they started recruiting a bunch of #incels from the internet to be #ICE agents, it became inevitable that they would detain a US citizen because she is Hispanic but took her husband's non-Hispanic last name and they thought her identification was fake.
