Genuinely terrifying. Healthcare (really, health insurance) costs skyrocketing. Then complicated by these fuckers wanting us all to be more sick, all the time. Our kids, sick. Our elders, sick. All of us, sicker and sicker, and paying more for it.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Everyone please stop describing a supposed tactical genius as someone "playing 4th-dimensional chess." Every regular game of chess is 4th dimensional for the love of god.

The tradition of shoes turning into forbidden confetti at holiday parties is upon us.
It’s called hydrolysis. The moisture in the air in your closet is literally eating your polyurethane soles. Check your shoes now so you don't leave a trail of black dust at the office party.
You're welcome.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

Sometimes people will tell you that you can't eat creamy garlic mash potato for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day, but they're lying. They don't want you to be happy. You should attack them.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

RIP. I remember Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead being front and center as I started my theater journey. Then, Arcadia bursting onto the scene. Buying the script for The Invention of Love, upset I hadn't been able to see it. And, most recently, seeing the incredible Leopoldstadt. A true great.
