Restaurants, comic clips, cats and dogs, don’t make it to the feed right now. I open the news in trepidation. Who have they terrorized today? Whose fear brought them pleasure? Whose distress made them feel powerful? How can the church lady post Disneyland pics while her heroes destroy her neighbor as herself?

Usually it’s my shoulder. Tonight, it’s squarely on my head.

I’m fine with this. The more that straight men treat the women in their lives the way gay men (often) do, the better. 😁

The office “Friendsgiving” pot luck spread. (I love my staff.)
For those who asked how the dish for the office potluck turned out, here it is: Bob’s take on Italian Braciole. It was just one of many generous dishes that were brought to the office that day, as seen in the last photo.

ME: Help me think of something easy to prepare and take to the office potluck.
BOB: I’ve got the perfect dish!

This quote has been on my mind as I've watch the next administration's cabinet appointments.

Screen capture of email that reads: Dear Editor, Take a look at the use of the word “Alas” in this article from 2022. “Alas,” is used to express grief, disappointment, or sadness, as in “Alas, my copy editor wasn’t available to proof this article, and it was posted with an error.” Or “Alas, I used this archaic term without really knowing what it means.” In the context of this article, the writer should have used “Fortunately,” or “Great news,” or “Rejoice,” if they wanted to sound Dickensian. All that said, thanks for reporting that the Del Posto 100-Layer Lasagna found new life at Babbo. Rejoice, we’ve made reservations for this evening. Best Jim Kempster (This message was typed by thumb on tiny imaginary keys.)
Quick note to the editor of Time Out about the misuse of the word “alas.”
