misses Newsy. It used to be solid news reporting without being clickbait. Scripps News bought them, and now it's a mix of FOX News misinformation with begging-for-attention CNN's analysis.

At some point pre-November, Trump is going to say something ignorant about Indians to clumsily highlight Usha Chilukuri Vance while trying to shade VP Kamala Harris. I don't need proof. All I need is a little bit of time before he makes an ass of himself ... unless the VP pick does it first.

#DivorceIntheBlack reminds me too much of Trevante Rhodes in #MeaCulpa. We saw this man in #Moonlight. We know what he's capable of. It's like Tyler Perry tells seasoned actors to stop being as believable. The only ones who somehow escaped this were Phylicia Rashad and Cicely Tyson.

It's really bugging me out that I got an 85% (34 out of 40) on Oxford's grammar test www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/english-leve... but 21 out of 40 on Fiverr's English test. How did I completely bomb one and do pretty good on the other in the same day?

Is marshmallows on the yams supposed to be white? My grandmother did that every Thanksgiving since I was a kid, and it was FIYYA! I do not apologize. Some of y'all are missing out. #TheChi

Right when Kiesha wasn't annoying, she's become annoying AGAIN. She's inviting Nuck EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. Some of these invites don't make any iota of sense. Why would Nuck need to come over for Thanksgiving? #TheChi For two seasons, she's been like this. I was unphased by the car scene.

I'm sorry. Did he say Brian Peck was pen pals with John Wayne Gacy? I must have misunderstood. Nope, I did not. #QuietOnSet

doesn't remember this fear skit at all. And as much as I love dogs, these dogs licking peanut butter off a key is weird as hell. And the scorpion in the mouth is COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE. This is why I always picked "truth" in Truth Or Dare games. People's imagination is a bit much for me. #QuietOnSet

I have never heard any of this before, but my guess is it was because I was on a condo board so I was great for repeat business. I have heard this at least 3x at Home Depot though, including from the guy who just copies keys. Weird AF. Way too many men think they're irresistible in Home Depot.

Man, I want Matt to hurry up and get married so his fiancee can stop talking about this f**king "engagement party" on EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of #TheBarnesBunch #BarnesBunch. It's been annoying for multiple episodes. Just get married already. The "party" is the reception.

Well, that wasn't what I expected to come from Kiesha's storyline this season. I like this way better than who she THOUGHT it was though. #TheChi

Needless to say, there was no second date. He did mention his birthday was coming up. I wished him a happy one and went about my life.

At the time, there's no way I would've found this funny. But I laughed at this comment now (and survived that date), so it is what it is.

I don't know how I slept through this all this time, but Junee lifted her head up for me to scratch her chin area. (Next to belly rubs, this is her favorite thing.) And it was the first time I realized she resembled the very first ceramic piece I painted when I was about 13 years old. bit.ly/4c49ALj
