Can we please get a ‘The Rookie’ and ‘9-1-1’ crossover?

I’m not saying anything but here’s what I’m saying…

Athena and the Mid-Wilshire would be amazing!

Bailey and 118 would be a match made in bad ass city.

Fight Club (Movie vs. Book)

The movie version:
"Self-improvement is masturbation, now self-destruction…”

The book version:
"…maybe self-improvement is not the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer…”

"Life is full of pressing matters. Fortunately, one of them is making panini." - Unknown

Happy National Panini Day!

Panini is the plural form of the word, but it’s a compound noun. So whether you’re ordering one or ten, it’s still panini.

The more you know.

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs.

The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week.

Frame it right.

TIL that Chris Farley’s last words were “Don’t leave me.” It was said to a “working girl” and she then not only left him, but took pictures of his “expired person” and stole his watch. There are no words.

That’s so weird… he used the Trump method… and it worked. And both of them scorn US democracy on a daily basis. This world is fucking weird.

There was a turning point in my decision to go paperless, and that would be today… when I was juicing lemons and the lemon juice found a couple paper cuts I did not know existed.
