I didn’t see any at Union Station on Weds or Thurs this week. Usually I see at least 3.

The usher finally made them stop in the last couple of minutes.

Post your last photo of DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

One of the best sources for this is xwordinfo.com (here is their page with variety puzzles: www.xwordinfo.com/SelectVariety). I also highly recommend the Crosscord Discord server to find sources and constructors.

Wait what? I need this!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Love the books and I think you would like them as well. You can get an idea of the writing from @murderbotbot.bsky.social

Rainbow Road probably is a private race track, which means Mushroom Kingdom NHTSA would be unlikely to have jurisdiction. However, in the upcoming open world Mario Kart, they’ll be taking motorized vehicles on public roads, which would absolutely qualify for NHTSA oversight.

So great to hear you on the mic last night!

I’ve been on a plane one time that landed on it. I was so confused when we started on final approach - I had no idea the runway was in use!

Watching and waiting for updates from the other coast has been nerve wracking for this native Angeleno. Every check in from friends letting me know they are safe is a relief, but my brain just can’t comprehend the images I’m seeing from some of my old haunting grounds.

Woke up still over the moon about last night’s Louisville volleyball win. What a match! Can’t wait for Sunday! #GoCards

I made a lemon pound cake (served with sorbet) and ginger snaps because my family doesn’t eat pie.

Found this while cleaning out my parents’ house - will treasure it forever!

Drinking while lying on the floor usually results in a spilled drink. At least for me.

Went to my daughter’s BFA thesis art show on Thursday and am at my spouse’s concert tonight. I surround myself with talent!

Big hug for you

People who say they care about women’s and girls’ sports are noticeably quiet about how eliminating the Department of Education would end federal oversight of Title IX enforcement of the equal existence of women’s and girls’ sports

GIF from the movie Airplane! that shows Lloyd Bridges saying “I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue,” taking a big sniff from a container, and falling backward.

My only thought right now.

One of my favorites! I re-read it every year.

100% agree. I was floored by the cost, lack of support and logistical challenges when I had to start care for my parents.

Two black cats - one inside a pile of towels with only a face visible and one sitting on top of a pile of towels

Something something International Cat Day (Lola and her late brother, Luther)

I certainly did!

Woke up still thinking about how Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ music in S3E1 of The Bear (“Tomorrow”) was perfection.

Need good thoughts, vibes, prayers - anything you can spare - for this little nugget who is in the hospital with kidney problems. Luther is the sweetest, silliest lap cat/dog cat out there. I’d like to play many more games of fetch with him.

Tell me about it

Is this just a holdover from your March 15 to-do list?

I have a himmeltorte recipe that calls for red currant jelly and it is always a hit.

I was last there in January and rode the subway all around the city, day and night, with zero issues. Never felt unsafe. Same with several visits in 2023.
