Finally had time today to start fixing up this 1950 Philco TV so I can turn it into a cat bed. It was only $25, probably bc it was marinating in mouse shit in a barn for the past 60 years. It took 6 GALLONS of TSP to get the Hanta Hotel clean (w/ gloves & mask). Anyway, no more peeks til it’s done!

Sitting here trying to figure out how much drywall to buy for my basement and I want to call my high school geometry teacher and apologize for thinking I’d never need this in real life.

Thomas Friedman: Dems can't be the party of the working class until they develop a strategy to expand new high-tech industries with selective tariffs and government investment!

It’s our 25th anniversary, so our 20yo and 17yo made us an amazing dinner! The 20yo made sauteed green beans with lemon & garlic and baked herb-crusted chicken thighs, while the 17yo doordashed heavy cream and a parmesan wedge & made an alfredo sauce better than what I’ve had in most restaurants!
