'tender and coherent,' when a recipe makes you well up a little.

If you'd invented tic-tac-toe we'd all be playing tic-tactical-tonightweoverthrowtheempire.

That's such a contemptible take, and I absolutely agree--so long as I personally am in charge of carving out the exceptions.

My kid isn't an only child he is a standalone with series potential.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.

We're being governed by the Underpants Fascists.

1) Kidnap foreign president.

2) ???

3) Thousand-Year Reich!

maybe we're thinking about this the wrong way, maybe we should ask allies how much they'd pay to buy blue states

Well, I'm glad that we've--checks headline--fixed intimacy.

I read that as 'spiritual perspective' for a moment.

I know the concept of third spaces but barely. Are they often institutional? I think of them as more ... anarchic, I guess?

This is just asking us to age ourselves! I use Word for everything. Not the subscription bullshit Word, the one you own. (And I resent that publishers insist upon actually using the editing functions instead of breaking out the quill and oil lamp as Shakespeare Herself intended ...)

Finally, a publisher who understands that ASUNDER is so good it broke the scale.

15 out of 01 stars!

Don't waste your time, work on -succession-! Talk about a fantasy writer.

DREW BLOOD.

Friend of mine is extolling the virtues of swiss chard and I said, "I don't know, I'm neutral."

So now I am giggling madly while nobody respects my dadjoke game.

Jealous you get to read it for the first time!

Liar!

Ha, I was THIS close to giving you a 'well, actually' about lost causes ...

Losers gonna lose.

I’m a big fan of timelapses bc they show the multiple mental breakdowns I experience per drawing. I’ve heard some artists draw by knowing what they want a thing to look like and this is insane to me. I draw by going through every possible permutation of wrong for every single detail

This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈

All I want is a Democratic version of Project 2025 called Consequences 2029.

Apparently I've become a hardcore law'n'order voter.

Okey! Back on board!

You don't think the conclusion is like, "Don't listen to the hippies, stop running flaming liberals* like Harris?"

Having recently read Deep Water, Strangers on a Train, and now making my way through the entirety of the Mr. Ripley canon, I still have to say my favorite Patricia Highsmith character is George Santos.

What I want, what I dream of, is instead of Project 2025, CONSEQUENCES 2029.

That is the whole platform. Everything else is secondary.
