I CAN make my friends laugh 😌
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Me: I have a book idea that might actually be commercial!
Agent: That's great!
Me: The title is a reference to a classic 1971 Sesame Street Golden Book.
Agent: There it is.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The legend returned! 💐🐣
Wisdom, a Laysan Albatross (Mōlī), is at least 75 years old and the world's oldest known wild bird. She and her mate of last year have returned to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge for the 2026 nesting season.
Wisdom was first seen and banded in 1956, after she had already laid an egg...
