PSA: Some @Garmin Forerunner and Venu watches are stuck cycling through the triangle screen. Support confirmed it's a new issue and they're investigating. Don't perform a factory reset until it's resolved.

Back in the day, if you nominated someone like Kimberly Guilfoyle for the Ambassador to Greece, or Anywhere, you'd be brought in for a psych evaluation.

Me watching a film.
1. Start watching.
2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.
3. Google actor.
4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.
5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.
6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking:
TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem.
MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.
TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

I believe the Earth is actually a custard filled globe, hardened by fire and caramel along the upper crust. Yes, I have founded the Flan Earth Society. I even wrote some stories about it. It's decent flan fiction.

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

Trump promised to make everything cheaper. Now he's slapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Hope you're ready to pay more for avocados, smartphones, and -- DEAR GOD -- the toilet paper Trump seems to endlessly use for his "10 to 15 flushes"
