I’m going to go full Grandpa Simpson. I was born at the tail end of the Baby Boom. On the first day of kindergarten the entering class would line up outside the elementary school gymnasium and be given a full set of vaccinations. There were no exemptions for this and it was free and mandatory. No one resisted. Why?…

One of my coworkers got Covid and was still trying to “push through” and come in, and our supervisor, while making her take sick leave, still praised her for her “determination.”

More than a year of not having to hear “Why so glum? Smile!” You bet I’m keeping my mask on!  (Plus all those other unknowns about covid etc.)

As I understand it, wearing a mask when you feel under the weather but can’t avoid being out in public is the standard thing to do in Japan. The rest of the world really ought to emulate it. I know I will be from here on out.

Uh...YES.

“Just buy your own damn KitchenAid mixer” is a mantra I could’ve used starting in college. It took me until I was in my early 30s to decide I was going to stop waiting for a man to drop into my lap when KitchenAids go on serious sale at least once a year. Got mine for $200 and am immensely enjoying using it to make…

Okay, I had no interest in watching this show until I read this article. Now my reasons for watching are twofold:

Why would you partner with anyone who wants to spend 30,000 on a wedding? Unless you can afford your own substantial down payment on a home and can afford to throw a huge party, that makes no sense. No one gives a shit about your wedding except you. Just buy your own damn Kitchen Aid mixer.

Yep—a wedding is a party with a contract at its centre. You can get the contract on the cheap, have the people you actually like over for a potluck, and bingo! Done.

If you’re dumb enough to choose a lavish wedding over home ownership and financial security, you deserve to have a pandemic ruin your wedding.

I’ve been rewatching x-files, and dude was hot. It’s so funny how he looked so much older to me in high school. Now I realize how young he was, just prematurely bald. 

I wanna know what happened to Mitch Pileggi? Did the aliens finally get him?

Sir Patrick Stewart is the Sexiest Bald Man Emeritus. The trophy William got is a framed picture of Sir Patrick Stewart in a toga from the 70s. Not from a movie, just him hanging out in a toga on a random Thursday.

Even Kate doesn’t believe William is the sexiest bald man alive.  No one else is going to fall for it.

You can’t be down-to-earth and also whine about how hard it is to be rich.

If it was just some random friend once again proclaiming they were ditching social media then I’d agree it’s unnecessary. In Teigen’s case it’s a bigger deal given she’s been referred to as “the Queen of Twitter” in the past, and her clapbacks used to be legendary.

You should go if you ever get the chance. Monte Carlo is basically two steep hills separated by a sea-level area. On one of the hills is the famous casino and the historic Café de Paris, if it managed to survive the covid lockdowns. On the other hill is the palace and nearby the Oceanographic Museum, which is…

Citizens f Monaco aren’t allowed to gamble in the casinos, if I was informed correctly. But, yeah, if there’s ever not a male heir the whole territory reverts back to France, with tax rates they don ‘t want to even contemplate!

Monaco has the worlds highest GDP per capita, highest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita, an unemployment rate of 2%, and a life expectancy of 90. I don’t see anyone over there looking to don their tuxes and arm themselves with baccarat paddles to storm the palace, or rock the boat in any way.

The guy’s wealthier and has more constitutional power than our monarch.
