The present administration is the broken clock of misinformation that cannot be depended on to tell the correct time even two times a day!!

But now? No

My Wordle "bot analysis" today. The @nytimes.com average was only a tad better for "turns to find the solution," even though I shellacked the average for skill.
Again demonstrating that it’s better to be lucky than good.

So, as the Greek fabulist Aesop would put it, "The MORAL of the state employee's story is that not only is tolerance of gay people ethically advisable, it's also financially advisable."

According to British economist, philosopher, and gastronomist J Keynes's "paradox of gluttony," pizza is one of those rare foodstuffs that is impossible to eat too much of!
I don't make pan pizza very often, but it's nice to mix things up every once in a while. It turned out well, but I definitely ate too much! 👍🍕🍕🍕

Hamill who was a star in 70s, went through a long period in the wilderness before emerging as a gruff, wizened supporting player in the 20s. Was fabulous in Mike Flanagan's underrated LIFE OF CHUCK. Also THE LONG WALK and THE LAST JEDI.🎥

Cellphone in a rocker at a nearby table where Pegi and I ate lunch in Tokyo.
Such rockers, I found out, enable passive step counting, so users can pull fast ones on a company’s health-insurance incentives.
Don’t have a cat or dog to strap your phone to to reach your daily step goals?! No problem!
