Because nothing else is happening, let me highlight the constant glory of the library card.
I have just returned @neilhegarty.bsky.social's exceptional, remarkable THE JEWEL. And I had not planned to pick up anything else - but looky here:
(yes, it is rather a change of mood)

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

Thought I was suffering from a huge bout of déjà vu - but no, today's Letters page of the Irish Times is, well, also yesterday's.

Is this a record?

It's interesting (to me, anyway) that today's Irish Times Business supplement doesn't have a single job advertisement.

That's a good line.

According to the @nytimes.com, violent counter-revolution in Cuba "carries risks".
Who in their right mind could write such a headline?

Phthisis incredibile.

It doesn't help that CHEERS is back on, just to remind us what great writing is.

He's Rob's brother, I'm guessing?

To be fair, it's the correct number of syllables.

It seems like Republicans are really not very good at identifying bad guys.

I no longer understand the world.

Just seeing Ted made me laugh.

Wow. At least they were fully sweetened.

Just lost my captain for the weekend. Not good. I've been leading our little league for the first two weeks - think that's about to change.

This post will appeal to, quite possibly, not one of you.
But, if you have access to Premier Sports and no plans for the next two hours - the Olympic ice hockey final between Canada and the USA is about to start.
