Just got my 6th COVID shot. Not to be too pedantic but I was promised I would drop dead after one? I'm starting to think it's actually preventing death.

Why do they keep giving cognitive tests to Trump? He clearly doesn't understand or is refusing to understand what they are for. Are the doctors doing them to gauge Alzheimer's medication options? Who is being given the results? I doubt anyone in his circle cares as long as he stays alive.

Hey Google, you have asked me the same question with the same result for years. It is no longer a question to me it is a vendetta. The amount of my life you have wasted makes me hate you.

If Trump and Co. got absolutely everything they wanted, would any of them even be capable of living without raging against something and someone. Their lives seem to be empty otherwise.

I think it would be a really interesting interview question to ask a celebrity what their favorite tea towel they own is and why. Everyone I know seems to have one with an interesting story behind it.
