I love being in Boomer Facebook groups for posts like this:
1) This is in a completely different city on a completely different street
2) That's not a maple; that's the red lighting from the Wells Fargo
3) It's a Starbucks patio
4) The photo is crooked

It’s a distinctly Lyonnais creation and it baffled me that I was served that when I was told we were going to get β€œtacos” after the bar

If Bari Weiss can start up and sell β€œThe Free Press” for $150 million, surely you can do the same with β€œThe Fucking News”

Whenever I think my imposter syndrome is kicking in, I remind myself...this guy has been doing this job longer than I've been alive, and yet he still comes to editorial meetings with zero local pitches or sources...and he still has a job

Had an 80 year old reporter call me at 11:15 to tell me I'm unprofessional and a bad journalist because all I care about is "murder and mayhem" and because I bumped his story about cute raccoons

I love my job I love my job

Absolutely in love with having to tell dozens of my co-workers about this giant new project we're all going to have to do with no new staffing, and it's all up to me to tell them because the higher managers don't want to πŸ˜‡

Was amused to find out that 1) my mom has watched every single episode of every season of White Lotus, and 2) she is disgusted by the show’s slanderous caricature of the upper middle class

In all the doom and gloom in the world today, it's important to remember what we have to look forward to (seeing Patrick Schwarzenegger's cock in White Lotus)
