As a fan of "Gilmore Girls" -- especially for the lessons of how over-correcting for how your own parents failed you will also fuck up your own kids, whoopsie doodles, -- I'm so fascinated to imagine Emily and Richard in the rich surfer hippie parents of Byron Bay crowd for the Aussie redux. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐จ๐ช๐ฆ๐บ

In my dream the Australian Gilmore Girls cast was far less likely to put up with Loralei's shit. I woke up before I could get to Luke's diner but I imagine he would have chased her out with a frying pan

Loralei told Emily that she didn't want money, the only thing she needed to fix the situation was going on walkabout and Emily clapped back that running a bed and breakfast in your own hometown isn't exactly going "walkabout"

Musk Ally Demands Admin Access to System That Lets Government Text the Public

Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.
Why did they do this?

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Six years ago, after watching my circle of friends surrender one too many evenings to insurance wrangling and doctor portals and DMV confusion, I emailed them a proposal: Come over next Tuesday. Grab a six pack. And bring your bills, your credit-card statements, your school forms, the streaming services you need to unsubscribe from, the airline miles you need to manage, the expenses app you need to figure out. Iโd be throwing the lamest party ever.
At the heart of this party was a truth that has gone under-acknowledged in recent years: Weโre all sinking. Weโre sinking into a quicksand of tiny, dumb administrative tasks. It is the most tedious quicksand imaginable.
Maybe we can solve our individual administrative hassles by coming together. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/aint-no-pa...

Then they could co-write their next book together fictionalizing that experience -- no one knows they privately hate each other after co-writing together once before, publishers forced it, "Christmas miracle" book tour together has them doing same tropes as characters, "only one bed" climax, etc. ๐๐

Have readers compete on pre-orders. Then "make up" before release day and do a book signing tour together, in a *Christmas miracle*! It'd be even better if you could Fleetwood Mac it, and do this "enemies to lovers" book promo season concept with two authors who previously co-wrote a book together!

I've also always thought it would be funny if romance authors did an "enemies to lovers" book promo season. Take books with a similar topic, like Christmas-themed, then get *winkingly* competitive online. Do a book blogger tour where it's all excerpts of each book up against each other with...

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.
