I am of a certain age; please don’t ask me if I want my coffee hot, because yes, yes I do, forever and ever, amen.

Speedy recovery to you, Becky with the Good Hair.

All the time here too.

Their debut album “Swoon” is fantastic!

I use Gemini to add my work assignments to my phone calendar, and that’s as far as my recent usage goes; I’m not interested in using ChatGPT or any other facet of it. And yet I kind of feel guilty about using that “Add to calendar” button!

Thank you for the laugh. 😂

Liberals say that concentration camps filled with children have no place in a democracy. They're wrong—concentration camps filled with children have no place in a republic.

Just saw an HBO ad for Murder in Glitter Ball City by Louisville’s David Dominé…I heard him speak about the book about 4 years ago and it was fascinating. Congrats to him on the adaptation!

Holy shit.

I minored in Spanish, then my senior year of college I met a cute French guy. When I tell you how fast I learned French, it's in large part because of how much Spanish I already knew! I mean, duh! (Not to you, but the writer in question.)

A screen shot of the NYTimes game Spelling Bee, showing a honeycomb of seven letters, with the letter A in a yellow hexagon in the center. The letters can spell Barack Obama's name, which is typed as all one word above the honeycomb.

Our former president should be today's pangram on Spelling Bee.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and my mother, an English teacher and writer, made sure that I never used this construction. 😂

Oh my goodness, I just read your post about what happened. So glad everyone is okay!

😆😂

Before I read your post, I was like, “Oh, is this about a dishwasher?” 😂

I’m completely charmed by “4½ aights.” 😃😆

Some of us got it for Christmas. 😂

It was a nice surprise, I must say. I was like, “Hey, I’ve met that guy!” 😃

Forked out some miles for WiFi on this flight, am listening to a Spotify playlist, and who did I just hear on an ad*? None other than @philplait.bsky.social!

*I pay for Apple Music but wanted to listen to a specific playlist that’s not on there. Don’t @ me about Spotify Premium.

Hope you feel better soon!

I'm really happy to be part of this!

Oh my god, I am so sorry. My condolences to you and your wife and family.

I just opened it. Holy cow. 😑

I didn’t know you then, but I’m happy to be acquainted now and to watch you bloom.

I have to work, dammit!

Oh, that was a lot of fun! I hope you win!

It never fails to delight me!

Hi, former bookseller here, 100% this. Indie bookstores are MORE THAN HAPPY to pre-order and special order books for you!

Ugh, and there are two more days to go!

I really hate how much common ground I am finding with Thomas Massie. 😂
