The best way to warm leftover pizza is a cast iron skillet.

I will take as many questions as Wesley Bell at a town hall (which is none).

Please do not hire cops and bullies to put their hands on me like he did his constituents.

I spotted a Labubu on the boardwalk and couldn’t stop thinking: what if Wapuu + Labubu = Wabubu?

I asked ChatGPT to help me visualize the mashup and things spiraled into a multiverse of plushies, claymation, pixel art, and bento boxes: jeffpaul.com/2025/08/wapu...
