it had literally never occurred to me until you suggested it, but if McNuggets had been introduced a few years earlier, it would have made my life so much easier. (This was back in the era when ferrying a bunch of kids to McD's constituted a totally acceptable birthday celebration.)

I used to dread going to McDonald's when I was a kid because I knew I would have to have gross mustard and pickles on my hamburger. Once I got up the nerve to ask for just ketchup and my friends had all finished eating by the time I finally got my "special order."

You may be thinking of Nathan Rabin's book You Don't Know Me But You Don't Like Me - he followed both ICP and Phish

Apparently Trump was meeting with governors at the time of the call. Plus why would he be watching C Span? Too boring for him

LOL I met her once and immediately started talking about the O's. That was the right move.

My 80-plus-year-old parents (white, non-Spanish-speaking) enjoyed the Bad Bunny halftime show so much that they watched it twice.

I was replying to someone who said he had nothing to do with writing. I just thought it was a fun fact. Of course it's an absolutely nonsensical reference for an article about romance novels in the year 2026. As a romance reader, I find plenty to read without resorting to AI slop.

I hate that I remember this, but Fabio "wrote" a bunch of books in the 90s in collaboration with other authors. They were published under his full name, Fabio Lanzoni.

Brazilian/Swedish artist Junior Lerin wearing a blue and yellow outfit with lots and lots of feathers

Garrett, the news is too serious to sully your comments section with talk of Melodifestivalen, but the first heat gave me everything I had been hoping for, from shameless ABBA rip-offs to... whatever it was that Junior Lerin was doing.

Congratulations! You solved a Monday crossword in 1:50.

I never thought I'd achieve a sub-2 minute time on the nytxw, but I managed it today.

I suspect it'll be 50 marchers, at least half carrying ironic signs, and 500 people filming it for social media. I'd be tempted to show up dressed as Rich Uncle Pennybags.

I can't believe college students are given a multiple choice test on what happened during a film! Granted, I'm old, but that sounds more like something I would have gotten in middle school.
