First of all, you don't know what cakes I've seen.

The car service place's website is broken. I called to make an appointment. The AI that triaged my call wanted to be sure I knew I could do this on the website. And y'all wanna trust this thing to do what now?

Spent a lot of time last week with small kids and y'all remember hating Barney the dinosaur? I can't explain my hate level for Cocomelon and Little Angel. Too loud, too bright, too flashy, grating voices, dismal writing—like a root canal for my eyes and ears. (Thankful to be from Generation Sesame.)

Seriously there's not a single thing on this list I wouldn't at least try. And there are several I would like to have 20 of right this minute.

Me, to a co-worker: Sorry, I didn't have as much free time to work last week when I was off as I thought I would. Me, in my head: Seriously?

I have lived on my own since I was 17, folding my own towels, moving my own trash cans, abhorrent I’ve been doing it wrong this entire time!

OK also I do not want to watch town halls from Nowhere, Idaho. I want to watch episodes of ER from 1996. It is summer.

Did y’all know that if you go to a family-owned home with 3/5 of your aunts and uncles you lose all ability to do anything right? I folded towels wrong yesterday. I brought the trash cans in from the street wrong. I unloaded the dishwasher wrong!

It is fantastically hot and humid and the air conditioning is not working in this house and earlier when I was fanning myself I said "I do declare" like Foghorn Leghorn. If the ac isn't fixed tomorrow I am going to the movies from noon to midnight.

I saw a video of a Grimace running with a kid on his shoulders and looked closer and it appeared to be a counterfeit Grimace but nobody was upset so like, I guess kids being stolen by counterfeit Grimace is not really a high-priority problem in Queens.

Like, 15 years ago one of my friends and I were in the newsroom late and brainstormed an idea for a resort where you just show up and they sedate you for a few days and you just rest. It was kind of a joke, but I think now people would pay for that for real. (I would.)

ALSO it is unsettling when they keep appearing at places out in the middle of nowhere that I recognize. That is State Highway 11 in Mansfield, Georgia y'all. My mama's house out there. I knew from the promos I'd recognize Atlanta. I did not think I'd recognize rural Newton county.

Also I've only been here for an hour but I have already seen so many absolutely epic eye-rolls that are only possible for students visiting a college with their parents. I'm talking full body eye rolls, y'all.

It hurt especially because this dr was at least 10 years younger than me, and very sweet so I couldn't have brought myself to even frown at him.

Listen, I will drive an electric car, use all those horrible looking light bulbs, hand-wash dishes, forego cooking, bundle up at home in the winter — I will hand raise baby polar bears in my apartment — before you take my air conditioning from my hot, sweaty hands.

If I hadn't lived in Atlanta for 15+ years, it would be tough for me to believe the sheer volume of wackadoo going on daily. Like when TikTok lost it because a woman ate 48 oysters on a date at Fontaine's, and even Fontaine's was like "Eh, we've seen people eat more."

Me: Yeah, my granddad lived in Japan for two years. Colleague: Oh, like, study abroad? Me: Kind of. Mostly doing antifascist organizing. Colleague: ... Me: In 1948. Colleague: ... Me: He was in the army. Colleague: OH, yeah, oh that makes sense.

Hi, I'm a college media adviser and my greatest hits are: • That's not what AP style says • Get closer to the mic • Turn it off and back on • This isn't the university PR office • Save a copy for the archive • That's not what the First Amendment says • 300dpi CMYK PDF • Yes, put it on your resume

Higginbotham does an incredible job of humanizing every single person in the story, too. Astronauts' childhoods, engineers' previous and post-NASA careers, politicians, activists, astronauts' families and friends. All are fully portrayed.

Just finished the new Adam Higginbotham book about Challenger and it's incredibly well-researched and a great read. No detail unexplained. Watching the Challenger launch at school is one of my earliest memories, and my fascination with system development, management and failure are all tied to that.
