We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

I wish the farm I frequent had plain old orange carrots. I look like I’ve been partially fingerprinted. (This is after multiple scrubbings.)

I’ve never felt more betrayed by my body than when I found out I snore. This is what you do when I’m not watching? You act rude?

The next episode of So Disappointed will be out just before Christmas.
Guess what it’s about?
We’ve usually got all our interviews done by this point but the host is still recovering from injuries. In the meantime!

Fellow Massholes, please call your local reps and Healey. Not tag on social media. Call. Because this is a goddamn lie. We have nearly $9 billion in our rainy day fund. That could pay for 4 years of SNAP benefits in MA. (Please check my math, but there is NO reason for MA residents to see a gap)
Massachusetts can't cover SNAP benefits shortfall if funding stops amid government shutdown, Healey says
