Used to scorn reality TV. No Kardashians or Bachelors for me.
Then I got hooked on "The Traitors" and "The Amazing Race."
So I picked up "Cue the Sun" for a behind-the-scenes look at the reality genre's full spectrum. It's a fascinating, detailed, sometimes humorous and often disturbing read.

If Democrats aren’t out there screaming about “the Gaetz report” like it’s Hunter Biden’s laptop times 100, then they should just fucking say they give up.

Catalogs pour in this time of year and I drool over the winter clothing. Sweaters, flannels, jackets, I want them all.
But there hasn't been genuinely cold weather here for more than a day or two in the last couple of years. I seriously doubt if I'll ever see another real winter unless I move.

"Tiptoes in..."
Hello?
Um, I guess this is where all the cool kids are now.
Don't pay me any mind. I'll just stay out of the way, observing.
Unless there's a chance of lasagna.
