I’ve had an echo in my house since Christmas last year. Here are my takeaways about Alexa:

She’s kinda annoying and always thinks you’re talking about her
She’s very easily confused by multiple Amazon users even if you’re in the same household

Right - I was going to say - judging based on her appearance on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! and how (much to my chagrin but also delight) thoughtful she seemed, I would NOT be surprised at all!

Also, I mean... those are cute shoes.

Are you serving it with your feet?

Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your grandpa was the bee’s knees. <3

Yesterday I received an email from my mortgage company addressed to my partner. I assume it’s the same, my partner’s feelings on medical privacy are more important than my own.

I only call mine “daddy” when we’re cheating at Euchre.

A subsidiary of McDonalds behaves like McDonalds and we’re surprised?

This gif has been waiting to be part of this joke its whole life.

Drake probably ignored it because it did not include a tuna sandwich.

It’s not “a little much” - you’re basically…

Yep! I feel you hard on this! I am actually getting out of my industry completely!

Yep - I know I will get someone like “So wait you think you had it worse than someone who lost their job?” and the answer is yes, it is worse, because you are living in perpetual fear of losing your job, getting over losing trusted coworkers in many cases, and now have all their responsibilities.

Out of the literal…

Being left after round after round after round of layoffs are the worst. Today’s my last day in a company I have worked for for almost a decade. For the last six years, we have had a layoff every 6 months, of varying types/sizes. It gets to the point where you begin praying the next one gets you.

The fact that I am…

Moving comfort makes the absolute BEST sports bras, IMO.

The padding gives me extra support. I get all floppy in regular sports bras. I don’t find that the padding is thick enough to make and actual visible difference in the size.

3 potential supreme court justices is too large of a “short-term” sacrifice for me to make.
