Wished the grocery clerk happy Mother’s Day and she said last year she wished some guy a happy Father’s Day and when he told her he wasn’t a father, she said, “Oh, I’m sure you’ve fathered some children along the way” but she meant mentor, so don’t worry someone out there is more awkward than you.

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dancing Queen gets all the nostalgia, but this song is ABBA’s best, imo: youtu.be/cvChjHcABPA

Why is it hardcover and paperback? That makes it sound like there are books out there that satisfy both requirements.

Is this satire? I can’t tell anymore.

Writers working on their book comps:
