I have a very lovely 81-year-old friend who, every time we talk, implores me not to tell anyone about her life or especially her health. Joyce, my dear, who am I going to tell???

If you are a billionaire, that is a moral failure on your part.
there’s no difference in what is available to you between $900M and $1B, other than status.
you should be embarrassed that you did not aggressively donate enough of your money to charity before accidentally crossing the $1B threshold.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I saw Todd Snider open for John Prine around 1995 and was instantly in love. He played at a small bar in Ames the following year; I dragged my BFF along and when we arrived, could not get in bc we were only 17.
