Me watching from Westchester

Coming out of retirement to watch cable news like Mel Gibson turning on the TV in Signs.

I really don’t want to be rude, but have you guys noticed which people from high school are now homeschooling their kids?

How silly of me to think I didn’t really have a dog in this fight.

If the Good Night and Good Luck tickets are too expensive you can literally just turn on your TV.

I am fine with being bullied by teens for being uncool, because it’s the way of the world. BUT I want them all to know that putting the college you’re going to into your social media bio is something we would have considered very cringe.

I feel like now my mom is going to get a Signal account the same way she insisted on visiting the Arkansas diamond field.

On the bright side I care less and less every day about my sons getting into “good” colleges.

Honestly just feel very sad for my brilliant classmates who still work at the Richie Rich “you have your own McDonalds” of newspapers.

Whoops, opened a long-neglected nightstand drawer and stumbled upon a portal to hell.
(And yes, George W. Bush looms large for me.)

Well, hey, we won WWII and we didn’t even have a defense secretary then.

Been hearing a lot of big talk about how I’m not the right kind of Jew from people whose latkes, frankly, look like shit

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about making my kids “snackle boxes” for a flight, and then I remember the time I was 7 and the in-flight movie was “In and Out” and my mom didn’t know if it would be appropriate, so she simply did not let me have headphones and I just sat there for two hours.

It’s for the best, what with him being so busy this time of year stealing pantookas, bizzle-binks, popcorn and plums.

Sorry, I can’t today, I have to sit on my porch watching the rain while I do an old-man-farmer half smile.

I thought about him the other day and assumed he was doing a nightly set at an nice Irish pub that distinguishes between shepherd’s pie and cottage pie. bsky.app/profile/theb...

When I made my account on here I think I said I like to read, and now my discover page is just lots of people talking about how rad books are (usually in general, not any specific book). Maybe this is ultimately the healthiest thing for me.

I want kids to know how low-stakes the world used to feel. When I was a teenager I once read an entire article in print about what happened when the writer put moisturizer on her lips for a week.
