I was like, “Wait, the Richie who was hanging out with Paris Hilton circa 2003 was recently a teenager?” Didn’t realize there was a new Richie on the scene. I guess it’s my bad for never learning the first name.

Someone I met randomly told me that McConaughey grabbed her ass at a college party in Austin her freshman year (and some joke about how she’d have felt flattered if it hadn’t happened to so many). Based on her age, he would have been 36 at that party, so presumably cancel culture is a bit of a sword of Damocles for…

We had a house fire in 2012 and had to rebuild the back end of our house. We added a mud room and a large pantry/laundry at either end of an open living/dining/kitchen space. Having a black hole at either end of where you do most of your living is AMAZING. We moved to Queens and don’t have room for either now, but it…

One thing to note, mortality and hospitalization risk are wildly unevenly distributed. 38% of deaths have been in nursing homes. 94% of deaths and around 50% of hospitalizations have been people 60+. The most ghoulish and nightmarish aspects of this will be over when we can get the elderly vaccinated. There’s still a…

OMG. This. When the pandemic hit, we started hearing stories of the undocumented folks in our neighborhood who were living in buildings where EVERYONE had COVID, and there was NO FOOD. Eventually the networks activated, and mutual aid groups ramped up deliveries, but there was a several week lag when everything shut…

After my youngest kid started kindergarten, I joined a gym and got super into it. The change in how people treat me since getting a marginally better body is alarming. I get better service in stores. Strangers are friendlier. Even my wife is nicer to me.

He’s incapable of sitting back, but I do think that Barr could try to help him by using Trump’s conspiracy theories to grab mail in ballots postmarked from urban centers, and I’m not sure there are institutions left that will stop him. We’ll need to shut the country down through peaceful protest. His supporters will…

Healthcare repeal, but in the main, I agree that they're worthless.

I’ve always assumed they have some other kind of leverage on him... Either proof of an affair or proof of some illegal financial shit. The 3 commanders who were arrested in 2016 for accepting illegal gifts from a DeBlasio campaign donor struck me as fall guys for something that implicated the BdB, so the NYPD can…

My kids didn’t know what a “gender reveal party” was until one started the El Dorado fire. My son said, “From the name, I thought it was a gender affirmation party for a trans kid.”

Isn’t Tiffany’s suit the same color as the jewelry store’s boxes? Kind of “on the nose” for my taste, but one person’s tacky is another person’s glamorous.

This is what the story reminded me of as well. The fact that his wife was so cool with being like, “Go ahead and show a little skin, honey” made me think that she’s decided to accept that kind of bullshit, which made me think her husband is a serial harasser.

I’m always surprised by Pence’s body. He’s very lucky that the weight doesn’t go to his face. At that body fat percentage most peoples’ faces look like Chunk’s from the Goonies.

My kids are still at home, so maybe there would be energy for an affair when I'm an empty nester, but when I look at sneaking around, I wonder who has the energy for that shit? I mean I missed an entire cycle of getting my family to the dentist because of some procrastination plus COVID. I 100% don't have the leftover…

It’s generally attributed to Jack Garner, FDR’s first VP, and “spit” is the “reported” version. The saying in Texas uses “piss.”

This is demonstrably untrue. There’s a well documented case in Guangzhou restaurant where the air conditioning recirculated the air to infect folks far away from the infected person: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0764_article. The virus survives better in cold air, which is part of the reason why meat…

My grandma busted my dad in the 60s for having a racy covered copy of a book by Sartre under his bed. It always irked him that he got in trouble for what was ultimately false advertising.

Pre-COVID I went to Macy’s to buy a shirt, so I could check the fit. It took forever to find the changing room. I had to ask three different employees to find one who knew where it was. I get to the counter, and the woman says, “Sorry, can’t try on shirts” because of the packaging (men’s shirts have 5000 pins). Trying…

I’m taking a lot of (very petty) joy today in the fact that even though Musk is super rich, he’s looking bloated as hell. Jeez, eat some vegetables and drink some water. He’s making 48 look kind of terrible.

But he would sometimes act coy about their being secretly married, just like he wouldn’t directly answer whether they were broken up for months. HE IS A VERY STRANGE MAN!
