My closed-captioning is stuck and I’m crying 🤣

Screencap of the Shohei Ohtani New Balance commercial and it appears that he is laughing maniacally while saying “I have a gun!”

Spencer Steer holding both hands up and saying “I have a gun!”

Stuart Fairchild whispering to 1B coach Colin Cowgill, “I have a gun!”

It was a good show! His voice was a little rough, maybe just from touring. But the band was tight

Almost time for the annual trip with my college friends and one of them pointed out we’ve always been in our 40s and 50s

Screenshot from an Instagram reel:
HOW GIRLFRIENDS TRIPS CHANGE OVER THE YEARS
20s:
Who packed the vodka? We're sleeping 6 to a room-floor space is fair game.
30s:
We booked the Airbnb... but also bought matching hangover patches and adulting face masks.
40s:
Everyone has a spreadsheet, a shared Google doc, and exactly zero tolerance for drama.
50s:
We want a view, a robe, a glass of wine by 4, and no one waking us up before 8.

I mean, no, my phone doesn’t connect to the stereo system without special assistance. But it does have a SIX-disc CD player. And it won’t snitch to anyone about how fast I drive. AND it has a folding picnic table where less fun cars might keep a spare tire.

I recommend buying a 20+yo Honda. (Not mine, it’s not for sale.)

I seriously love that guy. Anyone who greets Jim Day with “beat it, nerd” is a king.

I’m trying to feed stray cats, not freeloading raccoons, but there’s no way to keep them out of the buffet line 😖

Amy @ohamy.bsky.social · 3d

What’re you guys looking a—oh it’s *that* fucking guy again.

Gray cat and orange cat on the inside of the door, staring intently at their outside frenemy, a raccoon that is nothing but trouble. Cute little dude tho.
