β€œGreat music is made by people who either don’t care or don’t understand what is β€˜normal,’ so they do something extraordinary.” Perfectly put. You should go listen to A Tribe Called Quest's β€œLow End Theory.” RIP to a master…

Can't believe @nytgames.bsky.social who refuse to acknowledge the existence of the word β€œmilt” (fish semen) in Spelling Bee laid such a specious word on us today in Wordle.

That’s… not a word, @nytgames.bsky.social (but I got it on my last turn by elimination). 😑

When I was a teen, I went to a PCA church. One of their fundamental beliefs is only 250,000 people are getting in to heaven. I went bcause… cute girls and they had to talk to you! These days, I'm a Frisbeeterian. We believe when you die, your soul goes on the roof and you can't get it down. /dadjoke

Her journal is sharing space at the book fair with another initiative she is involved with: β€œBeyond Bars,” a literary mag started at GSU that provides an outlet for incarcerated folks (not sure which will be more prominent)

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Didn't realize he was in this one, and also had forgotten it was directed by Penny Marshall, a great director of actors. LOVED Dexter in 1986’s β€œβ€™Round Midnight” directed by Bertrand Tavernier. His speaking voice is something to hear!
