This you, #wellsfargo? We still haven't seen a statement from you about whether Diego Sarabia is employed there. If you've fired him, I'd like to hear it from you, not TMZ.

Haven't you always wanted a giant garage with a house attached? This keeps popping up on my Instagram feed and I'm trying really hard not to snark on it there.

Today I learned that actual Lego flowers are easier to assemble than the various knockoffs, and they aren’t as top heavy.

Starbucks, why are you pretending it’s fall already? It’s over 100 degrees outside. Nobody’s ready for pumpkin spice, just like nobody’s looking for sweaters. Retail is getting more out of sync with reality.

iPhones need a parent mode. I can’t convince my dad that he’s accidentally activating the call recording button and the phone company is not spying on him. Too bad I can’t remote into his phone.
