Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor:
“Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

If you were going to paint your Gothic literature-focused library (which has white shelves and a pair of ravens named Berenice and Ligeia) what color would it be? And why?

🔥🔥 Rep. Mike Rogers leaves the GOP meeting unhappy, says eight Republican “traitors” (he used the word four times) have “paralyzed” the House by removing McCarthy. He tells me Scalise has the same problems and GOP may NEVER get 217 votes for a Speaker. He says Dems must help.

I already was indecisive (between HMS Pinafore and the Canyonero jingle). This quiz is hard!
The Simpsons has long been known for having amazing musical numbers but which one is your favorite? And please, let’s leave out obvious ones everyone knows like Mr. Plow or Doctor Zaius. Mine is the Monorail song from S4 Ep 12 Marge vs the Monorail, what’s yours? Give your best “Simpsons Deep Cut”!

Life advice: don’t watch zoo shows as you fall asleep. I had a dream a moose got into our house and it was obviously terrifying.

listen, every cute little hip resturant has a cocktail called 'the laura palmer' and no one can agree on what the recipe is. There needs to be a meeting of the minds and a vote among bartenders on what the fuck this thing is. It's tearing this country apart.
