If you live in DC, you know there is a zero % chance that "vandals" could have slipped unobserved into a major, illuminated national monument and done this work with a knife. I wonder if even Trump himself can believe this. No sane person could.

Fogo Azul! I saw this drumline inspire runners to the finish line at the Brooklyn Marathon, including my son. They bring the joy!

There's gonna be an EXPLOSION of NYC babies in March. And they're gonna be named Jalen Og & Josh REGARDLESS of gender. WATCH

I have taken down the post with which you found fault and which you were probably savoring with great superiority Forgive me I like to enjoy things and your opinion was dumb

Possibly unpopular opinion: It's okay to just enjoy things and let others do the same. Yesterday, I made what I thought was a fun little Reel, just filming the biggest and oldest of my Monstera deliciosa plants and then showing my book, Monstera. My biggest and smallest Monstera, ha ha! And then--
