Just saw a reference to a different Cimarron, but now I’m thinking of an ill-conceived Cadillac that was probably—to most people—visually indistinguishable from a Chevrolet Cavalier. Because it was peak badge engineering.

I continue to think it’s wild that Casey Wasserman, who never in my understanding had any contact with Jeffrey Epstein—only pursued Ghislaine Maxwell romantically—seems to be the American who’s paying the biggest price.

A true fact about the South is that some of the best food you’ll find is at gas stations.
e.g. A very fancy friend in Mississippi once insisted—ready to fight me—that I was a fool to dine at the ‘good’ downtown BBQ joint because the ribs were much better at a […]

Loved the idea of this so much I thought I might try stretching my limited culinary skill. But tapped out the second I saw it calls for TWENTY-NINE ingredients.
Even though a few of those—on close inspection—were various quantities of water.

Always hated Nextdoor, never used it and that may be why they periodically bombarding my inbox with notifications to which I never subscribed and from which I always immediately unsubscribe.
Finally had enough. And yet I think they'll STILL send me those goddamn notifications.

Walking down an alley behind a restaurant where a server is currently hacking up a lung. Romantic diners may be getting more than they bargained for.

Oh, you can fuck right off, person who only followed me to ask for money and whose posts I’ve never seen because I didn’t follow back.

Few time machines as effective as album tracks or singles that barely charted if you’ve haven’t played them much between then and now.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

‘Your Side of Town’ video thrilling me. I was in London when it was first released, on a loop the entire time I was there, and now inseparable in my mind from SW1 and W1.
But seeing its video is actually very Vegas—my adopted hometown—is amazing.

Wow, ‘Pain’ by Jimmy Eats World—which I haven’t heard in 20 years—taking me back to driving a Ferrari down PCH in Malibu and getting mobbed at the fish taco shack by every guy who wanted a closer look. Never women in cars like that haha.

Just once I'd love to hear a retiring Olympic athlete say .... when prompted about what's next for them .... "you know, now that I'm not going to be drug tested anymore, I'm gonna go smoke some weed and get super high."
This is also a tremendous cross talk opportunity with Snoop Dogg.

Complimented my nephew’s haircut to my sister’s delight at my brother-in-law’s chagrin.
His conventionality is constantly colliding with our family’s bohemian streak—which will treat edgier looks as fun and correct for teenagers haha.

Sister driving through town on her way to a ski weekend brought a package from my sainted mother: Her chocolate cake without any icing, baked this morning, which is one of the only desserts I have difficulty resisting.
