His "nobody cares" reminds me of the people who equate, "I don't value or go to the public library" with "nobody uses the public library."

Dude. Grow up. You are not everybody.

My instagram feed is full of people full on LAYING WASTE to Chalamet because of his unwarranted comments about opera and ballet.

Schadenfreude - Chalametfreude?

Oh, good grief. Ask me to name a favorite child.

Okay, I have none, but the point still stands. Also, I would never judge Shakespeare's plays by how they read. That wasn't the intended way of experiencing them.

But man, performances make the play and I have A LOT to say about that.

GIRL. All of these people moving into the state I grew up in probably calling the northernmost county "COOZ."

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

I was just thinking, "Live your life in such a way that Isaac Chotiner never learns your name."

Anyway if you're still defending your 2024 position that there are no meaningful differences between the parties it's turning into a bit but it's not remotely funny. You can be disappointed in Democrats without claiming they are Republicans, actually.

She just hasn't crossed my personal transom! I'm terrible about music discovery nowadays.

This is what happens when you still maintain an RSS feed and subscribe to book review sites: the occasional jump-scare with, "Wait. That's my book!"

Luckily, she liked both of them...

Novella Series: Golden Years It’s nearly the weekend, and so I’m following up last year’s romance novel series post with a post about a duo of romance novellas, the second of which came out at the end of Dece…

Hey - lovely reviews of The Wedding Bait and Meet-Cat (and yes, they're more thematically linked than anything else in terms of "series.")

I've gone on couples vacations...three times? But no, no solo travel with just one friend.

Iran is our enemy because WE MADE THEM THAT WAY.

P.S. The average Iranian is absolutely NOT our enemy, but they have every right to be mad at us because their government is our fault.

My love, the only artist I recognize here is The Doobie Brothers. Also, we're going to be in your neck of the proverbial woods at the end of March as per uzhe. Would adore to see you.

Seriously, this goddamn playlist is perfect for people approximately 55-58 years old. Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place" just started. It's fucking soothing on a day that's horrible on so many levels.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

I'm ping-ponging between extreme grief, stoicism, rage, and numbness today, so I had Apple music do a playlist based off of Squeeze's "Tempted."

"Rocket Man" is the latest song up. Mr. B says, "Is this Brandi Carlile?"

The man knows how to make me laugh/cry.

Thanks, love. I don’t think the other cats have figured it out yet. Dinner time should be interesting.

We had to say goodbye to our very good boi Milo this morning. He was with us for eighteen and a half years. It's never long enough. πŸ’”
