If I may, I’d like to tell a short, personal story...

In…

You’re forgetting two really really good ones:

Orville Peck’s Bronco is probably my favorite album so far this year.

because there’s a bit of free food?

People who travel for work. It’s not uncommon to have a giant 5-8 hour hole to fill because a meeting got cancelled or the way flight times work versus hotel check out.

She’s written consistently haunting and beautiful music for nearly fifty years. Stunning voice, talented musician, composer, and dancer.

I’ve had to explain to friends elsewhere around the globe what spelling bees even are.

Here’s a hot take: the phrase and argument behind “believe women” is stupid. It’s the same level of stupid as “defund the police,” where a group of people I’m generally in agreement with advance an argument that goes too far and when it blows up in their face, instead of realizing it’s overreach, they double down and…

Do NOT try Sonic’s new Sour Patch Kids Float. It’s gross!
