This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.
The next time the Eagles play I will be there in person and ambivalent is a nice word for how I feel about that.

I have had a whirlypop for 20 years. It rules. I say this as somebody who loves popcorn so much that I will consume whatever size receptacle you give to me. The whirlypop also makes for a satisfyingly large snack that does not tip into the realm of gluttony. Whirlypop forever.
WHIRLEYPOP!!!!!!!!!!!$!

Politics, football and movies are among the many topics that tend to come up around Thanksgiving.

My dude I will embarrass loved ones for using ChatGPT you’re goddamn right we should embarrass a prince for dismembering a journalist with a bone saw, come on.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
