Is my job crushing my soul right now? Yes. Did one of my customers invite me to their suite at the US Open on Wednesday. Also yes. Do I have time to go? No. Not at all. Am I going? Fuck yeah.
man I really will never stop get over how Brittney Griner was rotting in a Russian prison and Kim Mulkey was like "oh damn that's crazy, I gotta get back to my appointment at the neon zubaz pantsuit store though"
I am convinced that if we just let the women beat his ass ONCE, this kind of clown shit would stop happening.
Between the Red Sox, the Lindsay Clancy trial, and the 25th anniversary of Band of Brothers, I’ve very little time for tennis. But let’s go Coco!

Is that boot print behind him the mark he leaves when he kicks his wife?
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Our choice for RI Governor suck. I’m voting for Foulkes, and I’m not going to pretend I love it.
To state the obvious, every city in the US is under siege and held hostage by its own police departments
Every morning, I go to Task Manager and turn off Grammarly. Every morning, I think, "I should go the settings and disable it at log-in." And today I went to settings... My company does not give me that option.

Sometimes I just need to be in the kitchen alone, making a casserole, blasting the Reputation album by Taylor Alison Swift at peak volume, and be left alone. Is that too much to ask? Do I need a sign? The old Amy can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, cause she’s making a casserole!
