There's gonna be a lot of "when it happens" babies

When It Happens.

Wild that stating "If your dad beat the shit out of you, he is a bad person" could be spun as a controversial statement in this day and age. Grown men taking out their rage on children is never acceptable. It deadens the soul. "My dad beat me and I turned out fine." You obviously did not, bud.

On March 9, 1975, Bob Crane's Bicentennial Minute aired on CBS. And then Kojak tangled with Ruth Gordon and Andrew Robinson.

My husband is autistic and he's a veteran, and he holds a regular job as a maintenance mechanic. RFK Jr can blow a cactus.

Let 2026 be remembered as the year that “children’s movie made for 50-year-old men” ceased to be a surefire business strategy.

A good way to find out if he’s sick with it is to search “Mitch McConnell Confederate Flag.”

I hope he doesn’t have Confederatus Flagus.

Open plan offices are the best approach for office space. But the open plan desks should be used by managers. The actual workers need to concentrate and should have individual, soundproofed offices. Managers need to chitchat, so they need a noisy room.

People have been tapping the Sartre quote sign since 2016, but it's hard not to engage.

I have the sudden urge to drive out to Carmel and tell a very old man about this.

(7/X) Ellison and Weiss are killing the most important news program in American tv history, a profit powerhouse and the only legitimately tough and independent news show in current existence, to curry favor with Trump. And no one, especially no "free speech advocates", seems to care.

Roy Scheider is so good. He immediately turns me off without overplaying the character. #Klute #TCMParty

Not a big beer guy but as always this flight from local microbrewery Solarc was tasty.

While there is always the possiblity that I'm the ignorant one, does Barri Weiss not understand the definition of entrepreneurial, or does she understand it all too well?

I don't know Bargatze from Yahtzee, but "men can't cook or raise kids" is the hackiest comedy there is. I was floored to see someone rehashing that one.
