@NYCScribbler We're open to suggestions. "Rancid," maybe?

Call them TERFs or assholes or whatever you want. Fuck 'em.

Refer to death threats made to retail employees by domestic terrorists as "controversy." We don't want to upset the strange man in the red hat writing everyone's license plate numbers down.

Bucking up and doing your damn job is always in style.

@joymongerer @DavidPriess Come on now. It's just an joke.

@alnarraTweets @newschannelnine Sure. Who cares. Nothing means anything. Where is the whiskey.

Thursday is NATIONAL GROUCH DAY. So, SOUND OFF! Tell us what really grinds your gears -- no matter how insignificant!

It's "Write MORE Good," jackass. bookshop.org/books/write-mo…

In all political stories from now on, be sure to note whether or not the trains run on time.

It's never too early for your political columnists to start speculating on the 2020 King of Hobomerica death-fight primaries.
