I think this game will reset the timeline.

I love sports announcers: “In a game full of MVPs, who could imagine it would be a total fucking loser who would hit a home run to tie the score in the top of the 9th”

My 11-year-old sitting with her pile of Halloween candy, sorting it into a bar graph

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

PSA to check your child’s candy this Halloween. There might be raisins in there and no one deserves that.

Florence Welch sits down for The Rolling Stone Interview: “Anxiety is the Hum of My Life — Until I Step Onstage”

The star opens up on the "life-and-death experience" behind her excellent new album, working with Taylor Swift, and more.

You don't have to be interesting if the lyrics you quote are good.

Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it constantly
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least

Cause I'm stupid and I'm damaged and you're a disaster

We don't get trick or treaters, so I'm going to eat a bowl of fun size candy, run out, and cover myself in toilet paper and shaving cream.

I've been waiting for five years for someone to break me open, and it isn't you, but it turns out it is Florence and the Machine.

I was on a zoom call and I had no thoughts, just "I didn't know it was your pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace," running through my head.

If only there were a person devoted enough to me to get the fuzzy socks out of the drawer, put them on my feet and tuck me in with kisses.

Okay, Mom, not you though.

Wow the TL is horny tonight

The new Florence and the Machine is now my entire personality

First thing, Tulane’s a very competitive school so congrats to the monkeys for getting in there in the first place.

It's the pleather pants

A handsome man just called me a fun-size Snickers so she's back, baby

I'd love to, but I really only want to see the CMAT shows and those aren't close by

Lilith Fair was also my Lilith Fair.

CMAT opening for Florence and the Machine is basically my Lilith Fair.

The thing with Kristy is that she slaps her name on all the fun things - giveaways, movie nights, kid stuff. Her office responds to the complainers bc they vote. I have no clue what she really believes, but she's a great local politician.

This might be a real toddler pre-immigration memory?

I'm the only New Yorker (BX) at my Connecticut firm, and I can't even vote, but I am daily subjected to vitriol about Mamdani, just like I had to hear angry complaints about congestion pricing from people who see a show twice a year. GenX is radicalized by nostalgia and the NY Post headlines.

Just thinking of how many political leaders who thought they'd made history are now just names on a plaque on the building that houses the 4th best TJ Maxx in NYC.

I've got rattle brain today, and I'm too lazy to journal, so here come the rapid-fire deep thoughts.

My mess can be explained by "This gave me a good feeling once so I will hold onto it forever." But also I'm a depressive and I'm at work or commuting 12 hours a day.

Dipping a stale croissant into a good cappuccino is not just a personal pleasure, but I feel it in my bones, as if it's a chilly morning in an Italian fishing village and I just watched my mother warm up the milk and split two cornetti 4-ways.

Oh, I forgot the poetry collection! Different moods have different reads!

Counting audiobooks: 9. Maybe a few more that I've forgotten I was reading. I really only finish the audio books.

I hate shopping for everything but groceries. I'm overwhelmed if I have to choose among 3 pairs of jeans, but give me 22 types of flour and I'm in heaven.
