Quote of the Day

Mark Brumley@mabrumley (October 25, 2023) Sometimes we spout off. At least many of us do. Often we should be more careful what we say. Public figures, even ones we think wrong, shouldn’t be mischaracterized, including politicos, presidents, plebs, popes, prelates, professors, personalities, polemicists, and hoi polloi. I know, I know. It’s not as much fun.

Mary Pezzulo@mary_pezzulo (Oct 25, 2023) I was going to watch an episode of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood to soothe myself after an irritating day, but we don’t have the Amazon PBS Kids add-on due to Adrienne being too grown up for it and the episodes are paywalled. So I’m watching Cocaine Bear.
