I'm in the hardest part of the surgery lead-up now... seven days without NSAIDs. My headaches better behave. (They won't.)

Exactly. When press asks him questions he doesn't like, he just kicks them out.

Just referred to Charlie Kirk as "some podcaster" and BOY are they BIG MAD.

In solidarity with the US Federal Government, I, too, will be shutting down.

Them: We finally agreed vaccines don't cause autism!

Us: Finally! Now can we -

Them: It's pregnant women taking Tylenol.

Us: *rubbing temples* You do mean acetaminophen, at least, right?

Them: No. We didn't get enough money from Kenvue when they split off of Johnson & Johnson, so it's Tylenol.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Me: I'll go for a short walk at work to clear my mind.
My blood sugar: BISH U THOUGHT

Me, yelling at the screen during the Green Bay game: "TURN DOWN YOUR ISO!"

I mean, when you really think about, who among us ISN'T an FBI informant?

Yes, the reason I'm not going to Cancun for #PokemonGO City Safari is because the day passes are too expensive. That's the only reason. Thanks, Niantic.

Either someone is doing work in my ceiling at work, or I've finally completely lost it.

I'm also not sure I want to speculate on the probability of each option.

I'll be honest, even today, I don't like people burning the American flag. I understand it, but I don't like it.

BUT

The right to do so is FULLY PROTECTED by the First Amendment. Absolutely, without question. And if you won't defend the Constitution, what, exactly, are you trying to make "great?"

A one act play, starring me and diabetes:

Me: I am going to eat the thing! Balance is important and it's not the best choice, but you've gotta live your life!
Me: *eats the thing*
Diabetes: *enters stage left*
Me: I regret eating the thing.
Me: *exit, pursued by a bear*

I have ONE thing I need to get done before bed. It will take about 15 minutes. It also will take very little effort.

I've been putting it off for three hours.
