I gotta tell you that with a lowly single Z in my last name, I am jealous of Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi for having two each. The additional Z in my first name is my only consolation.

"I Won't Share You" by The Smiths playing at the ice cream place was nice but I did swap tastes of our cones with several but not all of my friends.

andy i think it's maybe one of the only real supplements along with like, fish oil. i take it at night and actually sleep through the night finally!

Should I put in my dating app profile that I'm not only a 6-year Rancho Gordo Bean Club member, but that when a new box arrives I pretty regularly only have 1-2 pounds of beans left from the previous shipment?

The B48 automated announcement voice no longer pronounces Meserole as "meserolly" but it does still pronounce Wythe as "with."

Do you ever watch a French film (today, François Ozon's 1995 La Petite Mort) and wish you had that particular old-fashioned French handwriting?

I was already feeling lucky to spot an older person in flawless makeup and a belt and suspenders combo getting off the bus as I got on, but then there was also someone in a new-looking (??) Carol Burnett Show tshirt!

truly, genuinely, would that we were all more like you!!

Channeling my inchoate longing for the return of blogging into posting Too Many Updates to my Ravelry project for the hot little cotton-silk polo I'm knitting (sadly you gotta have an account to read it) www.ravelry.com/projects/nzl...

On Sunday @zanopticon.bsky.social recognized me on the street by my ass in my swim trunks!

Lotta good outfits and hot guys and cute babies at my polling place this morning, the sheen of sweat making everyone look glamorous.

List of items I've seen people carrying on the subway and initially mistaken for a hockey stick because I'm usually carrying a hockey stick: tennis rackets, baseball bats, and, this morning, two of those very long levels used on construction sites.

I praise this day, which has brought me one of those increasingly infrequent little blessings: spotting a real life head-to-toe Thom Browne guy on the subway on his way to work.

"a dog"

came to me in a flash this morning that if I got a vanity plate (n.b. at no point in my life have I been able to drive) it would be DOT PDF

last night during my hockey game, a couple of teammates had the knicks-pacers game playing on their phones on the bench, a goofy symphony of sneaker squeaking and ball bouncing and skate scraping and puck slapping.

Every other guy walking around today in a nice little knit shirt and shorts shorter than mine is a try-hard and every other guy walking around today in a nice little knit shirt and shorts longer than mine is a huge nerd, hope this helps

Wasn't paying attention and very carefully shook three orange foam earplugs out of the little tub to put in before going to bed, as if I had that many ears.

my favorite May Day tradition :)

can u get that one video where we both tried an early VR headset

It must be so cool to be a toddler on the subway in New York City, occasionally getting bodily picked up in your stroller by a beefy hot stranger (me) who lugs you up or down the stairs before disappearing forever.

In the same way that circa 2006, I had an ambient awareness of which of my friends paid to be able to send and receive text messages in case I needed to call instead, circa 2025, I have an awareness of who subscribes to what paywalled journalism so I can generate gift links when I send them stuff!

It's such a nice misty night!!

The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) is a voluntary organization that replaced the Uniform Claim Form Task Force in 1995. The committee was created to develop a standardized data set for use by the non-institutional health care community to transmit claim and encounter information to and from all third-party payers. It is chaired by the American Medical Association (AMA), with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a critical partner. The committee is a diverse group of health care industry stakeholders representing providers, payers, designated standards maintenance organizations, public health organizations, and vendors. The NUCC was formally named in the administrative simplification section of the HIPAA of 1996 as one of the organizations to be consulted by the American National Standards Institute's accredited SDOs and the Secretary of HHS as they develop, adopt, or modify national standards for health care transactions. As such, the NUCC is intended to have an authoritative voice regarding national standard content and data definitions for non-institutional health care claims in the United States. The NUCC's recommendations in this area are explicitly designed to complement and expedite the work of the Accredited Standards Committee Electronic Data Interchange (ASC X12N) in complying with the provisions of P.L. 104-191. The NUCC is comprised of the key parties affected by health care electronic data interchange (EDI) - those at either end of a health care transaction, generally payers and providers. Criteria for membership include a national scope and representation of a unique constituency affected by health care EDI, with an emphasis on maintaining or enhancing the provider/payer balance. Each committee member is intended to represent the perspective of the sponsoring organization and the applicable constituency. Representatives are responsible for communicating information between the committee and the group(s) they represent.

(i do however genuinely believe that the national uniform claim committee did their absolute best to make sure the pdf was only 63 pages long)

hello from page 26 of this 63-page pdf of instructions on how to fill out a 1-page health insurance claim pdf :/

You Deserve Fresher, Stinkier Garlic Also this week: We’re microwaving our tofu and roasting astounding amounts of lamb.

I wrote a little piece on the garlic I bought in Istanbul for @bestfoodblog.bsky.social, but the bonus story is that I ALSO bought a bag of Sichuan peppercorns at a Chinese grocery near Taksim Square. Used them for the first time this week in a cucumber salad. www.bestfoodblog.net/you-deserve-...

lil Lefrak Center at Lakeside haiku walking into the park for my 9:15 game: final winter weeks / the crescent moon points up over the rink / playoffs are soon

Enthusiastic guy on the dance floor at Nowadays spontaneously patted me on the back as Laurel Halo went on as if to say we had a long ways to go, which we did.

The bad news is that I dribbled crema antica gelato on my shirt. The good news is that this shirt is crema antica colored.

But THEN, just today I was looking up the lyrics to Changing Heart and LO there is a (German??) version for the Byrds!!!! die-augenweide.de/byrds/index....
