I love that I'm just like "wonder what my grandfather's best friend was like when they were younger" and you stumble upon him being compared to Chesty Puller. (Also some insight into what my grandfather was doing in Korea. It was not peeling potatoes LIKE HE TOLD US.)

I don't have a lot of life hacks I swear by but taxi stand over Uber or Lyft at a major metro airport is definitely one. A woman said to a man at O'Hare, "we should take a cab!" And he's like "do they have those here?" Sir. Please use them in major metros too bc they're experts& we need them.

MSY taxi stand coordinator is the kind of job that doesn't really exist anymore. Feels like a true expert position.

Fae: “Tell us your true name.” Me: “…Just my name? No birthdate, no SSN, no fingerprint scan, no address, no mother’s maiden name? Are you sure you’ve even got the right Olivia Waite? There’s like six.” Fae: “What the hell kind of bargains have you been making?” Me: “They call it health insurance.”

There is someone in my life who every time I interact with them I think of Jessie saying about her dipshit brother in A River Runs Through It, "Why is it the people who need the most help...won't take it?" To which Norman replies, reflecting on his own brother, "I don't know, Jess."

I love everything about this. The cookbook it's from. That in the Midwest they'd consider a recipe that involved instant vanilla pudding better than sex. The cookbook. Toasting your own coconut flakes. Have I mentioned the cookbook?

The cover of a cookbook with red plastic binding of the variety you would get from a church titled The Democrats Are Cookin Again!

Would it be wrong if I stood up in the mustang convertible I am currently in and danced to Pony as it plays on the radio? Better or worse if I do it in front of all the Amish buggies we're currently passing?

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Do you ever think about how literally everything is infected by shitty people? Like it is almost impossible to consume art of any sort without going "oop, there's a shitty person!" And you have to do a moral calculus on how shitty everyone is & how it feels to consume that art & I hate it here.

I just wanna say, in light of recent news (what recent news? Take your pick!) every single difference any of us have is beautiful and makes the world worth being in and along with being terrible for our society, every fucking ism makes every person who carries it the goddamn most boring person alive
