You know I respect the clones above all else

A small comfort while playing the lions was always that Gibbs wasn’t going to get 25 touches for some reason. Which is to say: uh oh

Don Delillo and I are the “sonic and knuckles” of American fiction

Can I just say the “sonic and knuckles” construct with Jahmyr Gibbs was one of the funniest false equivalencies in sports. Yeah man for sure.

In case you don't know what this means: you send us the pitch for your book. We mark it up in Word and send it back, with advice on how to sharpen it. You send $100, all of which goes to feed families sheltering in place here in the twin cities.

Reminder that we're doing a query critique donation drive for a shelter-in-place program here in MSP. Going well so far--we're at about $1700 and would love to get to like $2500. Come get your pitch critiqued!

finally some realpolitik (not sure what that term actually means)

oh so it's illegal to start my day with a smile?

I put some chocolate chips in my oatmeal this morning. "i deserve a little treat"

<laughing to the other officer> I don't think he realizes what kind of trouble he's in. Son, are you aware that butt mogging zoomers is a felony?

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Next “man on the street” NYT interview:

We’re still running this fundraiser—if you or someone you know needs a query critique, jump in!

I love that detail

Jill you are gonna have your mind blown by "every single thing NYT has published about trans people in the last five years"

This is a widely accepted norm journalists are taught to convince themselves they believe in, but it's not at all obvious why a publication should have to publish an op-ed merely because it represents the president's point of view. That's a media market and branding decision major papers have made.

that sound you hear is the deafening laughter of trans people

"it's important for the newspaper to publish dogshit opinions" is such a good stance lmao. awesome

Don’t worry though—in a few years when the left is proven right on substance but it’s too late to do anything, I’ll be able to seamlessly pivot to saying i was a part of their effort and wanted them to win. And then we can all move on to the next thing!

It’s crazy how “””The Left””” has never once talked about something the right way! I of course totally agree with them on substance (please keep thinking of me as cool etc), but I’m siding with the other side because of their tone!

And today, for the remarkable 901st issue in a row,

Watched it the other day. It rips

I will destroy her

Thank you for your service

You don’t know your range until you start taking shots

I'm too old to judge who does and does not have "aura." however

Today I was sent this photograph of my mom playing a slot machine. That’s me in the baby wrap lol
