Before I go back into teeth clenching mode reading my other Substacks I grab my coffee and come here for this so my Saturday starts out with a belly laugh. Thank you! Can’t think of a better way to start my weekend.

Laura Ingraham....YUK! She's so easy to despise. I just laughed and laughed at the RFKjr memes.... he's such a joke. 😂😂 And the cat as a lion warmed my hard heart!! Wonderful summary this week...I'm glad you bring Twitter to us so we don't have to venture into that lake of vitriol. ✌️ 💙 Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend!

Have a great weekend and

just remember to never let

that don't wash off within

minutes. Trust me, been

there, went through it.

Us too! And just last night the granddaughter though coloring on her arm would be pretty. Her mom freaked and I'm .....you just wait 🙂

And then there’s when kids cut their own hair to look forward to, too!

I had a friend whose kid painted himself (and her chair) with bright pink nail polish.

Whoa! My granddaughter painted her brother with indelible black and orange

magic markers. Took 6 weeks

to wear off.

Are all the weird stories these politicians supposed to make them "relatable"? I mean...seriously who admits publicly (especially nowadays!) that they had a brain worm? Or shot a dog? I don't think they know what "cringe worthy" is.

To be fair (why do we still care?) this worm "confession" was from his divorce docs... Who hated him enough to make it public is a better story 😁

ima going to go with the boat-colored fence. Though we really do need a law to keep tigers and lion-enhanced cats from voting.

That fence was great!

It wasn't simply great, it was Inspired!!

Brain worm jokes for the win this week! 🪱 They were all good, but I especially enjoyed the bearded guy’s commentary. I will now refer to Kristi Noem as “Governor puppy killer” and nothing else.

I'll need a case of that beer !

The tigers were adorable. I wish my dog was as thoughtful when climbing into bed. It's really difficult to sleep with a dog trying to lay on your face.

Or a cat looking out the bedroom window while smacking your head with his twitchy tail.

"second worm"

I am deceased

Been laughing at that one for ten minutes

Jay, you knocked this edition out of the park for me this morning (thanks, in part, to some crazy GOPers;). I laughed so many times (the women worm, eating nut job’s brain among others) and the wonderful “aww” moments, the tigers and the rabbit and monkey hugging, so sweet!

I cannot fathom how so many people can think that voting for ANY republican right now is a good idea😜 But at least I am smiling today instead of clenching my teeth as another commenter stated. Thank you!

Thanks Jay! Your Saturday column helps keep me sane!!

Love the link to Brent Terhune. Being from Indiana as well, his subtle takes on MAGA have been hilarious for years, and he's kept evolving it. The best thing is to hear about MAGA folks sharing the videos, not realizing they're being mocked. Highly recommended following him!

"But I digest ..." 🤣

Right up there with ambeedextruss (Defendant's pronunciation) and omnivore. Add kleptomania to the mental mix and you have a word-lovers' paradise. We rejoice while snorting with laughter 💙

Great wrap up🤣😂🤣

They're all doozies! The diapers. The worm. The dogs. The kids. The cat who has no problem with a bag; cats loooove bags. The MAGAs. The boat. But the tigers?!?!?!? Masterful 🤗
