Go Borbs.

You will want to read this thread

Arthur Conan Doyle, 1892.

"It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”

6 novels, a couple of masters degrees from Cambridge and Oxford, and a PhD from Yale.
She's not wasting a lot of time.

Thanks for the explanation. That doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in trying. I have had Babel recommended to me based on anti-racist and anti-capitalist themes; I might give that one a try sometime

I've had her work recommended to me; can you be more specific about what you didn't like so I can tell if it's also something I'd hate?

There are several dorms at my kid's college in middle Ohio that would love to have that record for bat attacks. And they are all at least 30 years newer than 1877

this is such a depressing misread of why Trumpism wins

American voters aren't drawn to parables

They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt

When they pulled out ANOTHER two stacks of TNT to blow up the bridge, I laughed out loud.
Also infinite machine gun ammunition in the back of that bus.

Quinyon Mitchell's 0 ints in the regular season deserves an asterisk, because CJGJ screwed him up twice for gimme picks.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.

How did he do it?

NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

Socialism works

BTW, as Mira Nair films go, don't sleep on Kama Sutra, with great performances from Naveen Andrews, the very picturesque Ramon Tikaram, and film debutante Indira Varma.

Also a great score.

@kjboldon.bsky.social Maybe Netflix's recommendation was right.

@kjboldon.bsky.social okay, I give in.

Clearly You People Thought I Was Kidding Well, who’s laughing now? And now, an actual phone call: Me (to Krissy): So, would you mind if I tape bacon to the cat? Krissy: That’s a fairly interesting question. What’s the pu…

You taped bacon to a cat.

Northeast Minneapolitans: if you got a confusing email from the library about a closure and holds, our Northeast library is closing for repairs and updates as of Monday 2/24/2025, and will reopen later this year. All your hold requests are now going to Pierre Bottineau instead.

Will we get a Fangio statue at the Linc?

Just because I'm wearing my lucky socks doesn't mean I'm superstitious

We keep hearing about how dumb the Giants feel for letting Saquon go, but what about Miami getting rid of Fangio?

"I voted" sticker

As promised, two weeks later I voted for @doronclark.bsky.social again.
