Coolest thing happened to me last night. A young bat flew into me. It landed on my back, fell, then got up and flew away. Glad it wasn't hurt. I 💜 bats!

I'm old enough to remember that when you ordered breakfast, you got two whole slices of toast, not one cut in half. We used to be a proper country.

Last official day of work in Texas. Drinking wine and eating potato chips to celebrate. Because I'm classy.

If only trans people and their families were real and capable of speech, then perhaps reporters could speak with them and ask them their opinions about things. Unfortunately this is not possible with today's reporting technology for some reason

Finally cancelled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. Drop your fave news sources that aren't run by megalomaniac billionaires!

Vote NO on 414, Tucson. This tax is regressive, and we need more community support, not more support for law enforcement.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

The world’s richest men can’t buy themselves into being tolerable. Just the biggest collection of weenies you ever did see, so desperate for acceptance that they’re malleable and weak and bland and, in turn, destructive as hell. SMH.

Here's the thing people who complain about California don't understand: Los Angeles is incredible. So many small towns in one big city. So many people who love it so deeply. LA's soul is beautiful and generous.

I like the part in “Shoop” by Salt ‘n Pepa where she says “I swear, I stared, my niece my witness” because most songs don’t even bother to include independent third party verification of their claims.

Also, Baldoni has a level of audacity that is rather disproportionate to his level of fame.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.

That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.

I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

Hot take: Clear is the goddamn worst. Airports need to figure out a different way to deal with it than cutting the pre-check line.
