Old hard drive code-named: Nostalgia.
Screenshot of my business card for Business Logs, a company I started in...maybe 2003? Definitely by 2004.

YOY? Really?
Screenshot from tradingeconomics.com showing the price of eggs over the past 5 years. I've marked Jan 20, 2025 where it went up after that (and had been since roughly the election in 2024) to a peak of ~$8 per dozen. It is now down close to $2 per dozen. But it's still above a fair bit of the previous admin's time. Also note, it's going back up as of when this aired.

It's the "I want my two dollars" kid. Except, with inflation, it's now $20. Technically it would be $6.02, but that would be less funny.

We live in a world where "literally" means "figuratively".

This is how I remember what it means:
The chalkboard scene from Marge vs The Monorail. Except I used a meme generator to replace the text to say: Over = Above Under = Under

Me: I have way, way too much on my plate and need to reduce the number of things I've said yes to.

Also me: I should start a quarterly literary journal.
