In generously wooded Northwest Connecticut, the mighty Appalachian Trail and the dainty Pine Knob Loop flirt briefly, whispering ancient secrets only they would understand, serenaded by a gentle, mossy waterfall. What if they fucked? That shit would be craaaaaaazy!

We played in his driveway every night, 'til it was too dark to make out the net. A hallowed venue for the sweat-soaked, exuberant work of growing up. We got to talk one last time yesterday. I told him I'd see him again someday, in the driveway. He told me he'd bring the ball. Love you, Todd. Goodbye

You can feel the edges being rounded off every piece of art governed by the algorithm. You can feel the humanity being replaced, the surprise,the complication that is being a person, reduced to shapeless blobs by the gears and blips of late stage capitalism. Anyway, try new Berry Blast Sour Worms!

250, y'all. Thinkin' about the melting pot today. Folks who came here outta hope or by force. Folks who were already here, minding their own damn business. All of us in this sometimes rocky boat, trying to make it work. I love y'all. Let's keep meltin' and whatnot.

I love how some people's algorithms are all, "Here are some charming, unlikely animal friendships," but mine is like, "Here are 715 horrific workplace accidents."

At a coffee shop/plant nursery in Eagle Rock. Hopefully more merged businesses will catch on. Laser tag/notary. Cemetery/trampoline park. Brothel/Chipotle. The possibilities are endless!

I think it really helped Spencer Pratt when, in the home stretch, it was announced his mayoral bid was being filmed for some reality show, AND he went on Fox News, AND Trump praised him. If I know Los Angeles at all, those things really improved his chances.

My grandfather made it home, but his kidneys failed soon after from the sulfa drugs given on Guadalcanal. A wife and 3 daughters left behind. The government never acknowledged it or made it right. But nice to know people who broke into the Capitol and wiped their shit on the walls will get millions.

I wept for my country on January 6th. Now it's a relentless terror fog. My faith in humanity wanes by the moment and I can feel part of my heart dying every day. Anyway, have a super-fun weekend!!!
