@JamesClear I ♥️your newsletter. I also ♥️ the sentiment in Rita Levi-Montalcini’s quote so I am trying desperately to ignore their misuse of the word “unique”. Since the definition of unique is “one of a kind” something cannot be really unique. It either is unique or it is not.
The Dodgers’ magic number is 16. It’s AUGUST.
If you aren’t astounded by the sheer dominance shown by that fact, you either don’t understand what a magic number is (forgivable) or are determined to be a hater (unforgivable-evolve please). #dodgersforlife#winforvin💙⚾️🎙
When we finally spoke to a manager after being on hold for 45 minutes, we were told that despite stranding minors in the middle of a sand dune for the full length of the experience they would not issue a refund and took great time to explain how it was not their fault.
@sunbuggy By far the worst experience and worst customer service I've ever received. This company left 3 minors and 1 adult stranded in the middle of the sand dunes for the entire length of the ride without response to multiple requests for help. We had to find our own way back.
DID THAT JUST HAPPEN? Did Will Smith for real just punch Chris Rock and cuss him out on live television?? Is this real life or the best scripted moment in Hollywood history? #Oscars2022
I’m sorry. If a man did that Covid test bit on the Oscars he could be demonized but we’re all supposed to laugh because it’s a woman sexualizing men? Feels gross to me. #icallbs
In a surprise 2 no one @Walmart has the world’s worst customer service. I’ve been in hold for 2 hrs because they lost my return and won’t refund me. #boycottwalmart
“Do You Hear What I Hear makes me SMDH. I question the wisdom of these “wise” men who bring a shivering newborn silver & gold. Wise women would’ve brought blankets & planned a meal train for Mary and Joseph. But yeah, for sure bring silver and gold. Solid plan. Super wise.
Today, I had a medical procedure under anesthesia. Afterward, the nurse gave me the standard warnings…rest, don’t drink alcohol, don’t make any major decisions, etc. She then asked what I was going to do for the rest of the day and I said “Do a bunch of heroin and buy a boat.”
I’ve worked from home for years. I don’t minimize the real losses people suffered in the last 18 months, but I legitimately mourn that I can no longer work in my pajamas, makeup-less with bed head because we’ve decided to embrace Zoom for meetings. #RIPtheconferencecall
Happiness means accepting life’s incontrovertible truths, like 1) accountability is vital to being a good human, 2) words and actions are more important than intentions, and 3) I am incapable of successfully navigating the transition from the northbound 5 to the northbound 405.
I’m my continually baffled that my iPhone knows how much REM sleep I get and what kind of lawn chairs I like, but it can’t recognize my face with a mask on.
