This is oh-so-wrong, but hilarious. Alcohol sales surged after the pandemic started. By late March, they were up 55% compared to sales 12 months earlier.

A dictator (dick-tater, get it?). What does this have to do with politics? Today’s NPR headline says it all: Michael Flynn Pleaded Guilty. Why Is The Justice Department Dropping The Charges?

The art museum in Portland Oregon is encouraging people to recreate famous art at home, using materials at hand. Here are a couple of examples people have come up with so far:
John Krasinksi (from The Office) decides that it is time for Some Good News (SGN). I’ll give you two episodes, the first one I watched, which seems to be the most popular one… … and the first one they put together … And episode 2 is sweet, especially if you are a Hamilton fan.
