I think it’s the books because me, too.

That’s great, Kate, but nothing can bring the kind of incredible joy that I experienced, as a kid, upon overhearing my mother on the phone telling someone my IQ was higher than either my sister’s or brother’s. 40+ years later and I STILL remind my sister of this.

I’m pretty sure the formula at SNL has been the same for the last 25 years at least: create water cooler comments and make money.

Does she have Instagram? It’s a tiny bit better in that you’re not constantly bombarded by stupidity. I use it to see what my kid is doing and okay, okay, I religiously watch Dodo videos and follow Hannah Shaw, the Kitten Lady. 

Jesus, so much this. What a sh*tstorm of stupidly loud opinions and people from the past showing up wanting to be “friends.” Not to mention the tsunami of humble-bragging, which Facebook’s raison d’etre. I really don’t want to know anything that shows up on FB. I maintain an account on Instagram only to monitor my…

I deleted it at the beginning of the trump admin and have never regretted it. Come sit by me, please.

My FIL started smoking again when he hit about 95. He lived to 100. I say I’m going to start smoking at 90+ if I make it but the truth is I think I’ve become a bit allergic to it.

Oooh, la la. Off season, Reese’s eggs.

To say I love her diminishes the feelings I have for her. Without hyperbole, I will say that Nanette changed my entire life and how I live in the world. I respect and admire her so much.

People ≠ Imagination

Demonstrative AND performative!

I love all of this. And truly do not understand the interest in this very vanilla couple. Sure, they may look ridiculous, but what have either of them ever done that was even remotely interesting? I suspect certain people spend a lot of time trying to look a certain way to mask the inevitable realization that there’s…

Yeoman Janice says otherwise.

Irony is me, a Jew, wanting to live in Germany, which feels safer. Although without Angela Merkel, it could be headed the way of the U.S.

I can’t imagine him understanding what a “reading chair” is.

But I said I was not going to lie! 

At a restaurant in Rome, the waiter pronounced it bru-sketta???

I love Hobbes so much and it’s with great sadness that I saw his announcement this morning that he’s leaving You’re Wrong About, the greatest podcast ever. (Thank you for your comments here - I could not agree more!)

Not going to lie, I thought KKW did a good job.
