When I was a teen, I went to a PCA church. One of their fundamental beliefs is only 250,000 people are getting in to heaven. I went bcause… cute girls and they had to talk to you! These days, I'm a Frisbeeterian. We believe when you die, your soul goes on the roof and you can't get it down. /dadjoke

Her journal is sharing space at the book fair with another initiative she is involved with: “Beyond Bars,” a literary mag started at GSU that provides an outlet for incarcerated folks (not sure which will be more prominent)

You are there, spreading the “How I Fix Atlanta” gospel? 🤔

That was their next big initiative after writing “Winds of Change” for the Scorpions, right? 😂

Reasons to be cheerful: Tyler keeps on doing…

Hey #AWP peeps: My wife Megan, the editor of the most excellent Five Points lit mag will be there and is always looking for great essays. Tell her Mike sent ya…

The internet is for music recommendations…

Don't know why I formulated that as a question. 😀 (Sammich cognoscenti sidenote: Just went to Sammy's in Adair Park this morning and it was very cool… )

That song is a banger. Looking forward to his appearance at the Goat Farm? (No idea what there venue space is like)

Well, he's no Mozart… (or Kinky Friedman… or Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts) 😅

Minnesota would like a word.

It’s a family business. The rats haven’t recalibrated for climate change…

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

YouTube video by NetMusic 'Vocals Only' Videos The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun [vocals only (+ harmony vocals)]

The isolated vocals of the amazing Karen Carpenter! I remember trudging to elementary school in the 70s singing “Rainy Days and Mondays” to myself. h/t the delightful newsletter of Dan Cederholm aka @simplebits.com. Y'all should subscribe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KehX...

Follow-up question: “Should we get testimony from anyone whose name appears in the Epstein Files over 900,000 times?”

Didn't realize he was in this one, and also had forgotten it was directed by Penny Marshall, a great director of actors. LOVED Dexter in 1986’s “’Round Midnight” directed by Bertrand Tavernier. His speaking voice is something to hear!

Both mean and correct. 👏

Immediately thought of you when I saw this ace archive!

LOL. Apparently the University of Florida is operating outposts in ALL the Gainesvilles…

Exactly! Sadly, Americans are the least traveled people on Earth. Once you get outside of the U.S., you realize it is great other places and not everyone is dying to come to the States. 🙄

Picture of an ancient can of “Bernard Dehydrated Water” with the instructions "Empty contents into one gallon of water.” Possibly the first Dad joke.

Bernard is the Dad from whom all dads descended…

I like the backyard BBQ building. 😀
