Marinoia 

The paranoia that sometimes results from smoking ample amounts of marijuana. This is due to a THC-induced cannabinoid wonderland/disco party happening in your brain. The amygdala, in particular, becomes overstimulated by the disco party. This effect is temporary and can be mitigated by various fun foods, like an ice cream cone with sprinkles. 🍦
I was in my private backyard enjoying this new 70% Sativa strain called "Hippy Chicken" in my outdoor hammock. I awkwardly trotted my way back to my apartment wearing large Bluetooth headphones while carrying my Van Gogh throw pillow and a gallon of water. I conscientiously dowsed myself in a large mist cloud of Fabreezy (some islandy scent, I think) before traversing the threshold of my apartment back door.

I reclined in my indoor hammock only to immediately receive a call from my local area code. I knew all my contacts were from different area codes. I worried my neighbor or landlord was calling me to say I was being kicked out for being such a stoner.

Alas, it was only the kind pizza delivery driver calling to tell me he was arriving.

I had marinoia.
But then,
I had marinara.

And that, my friends, made all the difference 👍

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
