Can I get in line now to not read any of it?

Same, I would have been all over a new Andy Weir.

The last 5 on the list are real, but the rest are not. Regardless, as a freelancer myself, I would have loved this assignment and written it myself. "I didn't know it would appear in the Chicago Sun-Times" is a pretty poor excuse.

The last 5 books appear to be real ("Dandelion Wine" is of course a Bradbury novel), but the rest are an acid trip.

Ew, I don't like it without the hyphen. I always read it wrong as "core searcher."

(As a corollary, I read "coworker" as "cow orker.")

I got into TJ Klune thanks to a friend who went to that panel at ECCC and now I'm devouring every book by Klune. So rare to have a book make me laugh and weep in the same chapter.

It's been a few years since I lived in the Beltway media market, but defense contractor ads on news/traffic/weather radio station WTOP used to mention the "warfighter" all the time. As an editor, I noticed and wondered also.

My kid also gets Social Security survivor benefits from my late husband, who worked in IT and paid into SS from his teen years. The payment makes up for his lost income in helping us stay in our house and keep a roof over my kid's head. Jeanine is willfully malicious here.

We need MSM to start covering this, including the numbers on the YT feeds. What @booker.senate.gov is doing, along with other senators, is so important.

And now other senators are standing to ask questions (that don't require him to yield the floor) to give him a break. I just called @fetterman.senate.gov to ask him to join them. Call your senators and ask them to join Cory Booker!

- YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Y'all, Cory Booker is doing an old-school, Mr.-Smith filibuster on the Senate floor (14 hours and counting) to amplify the crisis in America right now. It's magnificent. We need more of our elected officials to do something like this.

DEI: Gospel imperative or radical leftwing agenda?

What does the Bible really say about diversity, equity and inclusion? While political leaders label DEI a "radical leftist agenda," Jesus' ministry tells a different story. So why do some Christians reject it, asks Emery J. Cummins?

I once queried an author for the page number of the source they were citing for a quotation.

"It's in there somewhere" was the response.

My husband missed one night, ONE, of his D&D group. They rolled for him and managed to kill him off ... so then they rezzed just his head, put it in a jar, and carried it around for the rest of the campaign in a little cart for like a year after that. D&D is so fun.

It’s always the right time for The West Wing, but it’s damn nostalgic these days.

Except the recipe blog had like 5 pages of narrative first and no “skip to recipe” button and Musk didn’t have that kind of time.

What could possibly be unhinged about Parks & Rec? One of the great shows. I saw your skeet and thought, “Yes, I should do this also.”
