Oh, well, in that case—WAIT A MINUTE.

I've reread this book a number of times, and this remains one of my all-time favorite authorial/editorial goofs. Truly a ✨gem✨. (Leverage In Death by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts)

A DONUT STUFFED WITH PECAN PIE 🤯 the diabetic coma would be so worth it

WaPo takes note of Trump’s “oscillating claims” about the war, but avoids the obvious conclusions — that Trump is deranged, that he is unfit, and that he shouldn’t be in charge. This is an example of the normalization of the dangerously abnormal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Have just finished rereading the Temeraire novels (one of the best fantasy series ever, I said what I said), and came to the somewhat startling realization that Laurence is a reckless hothead who does a lot of stupid shit. 🤔 This explains so much actually. 🐉

Jasper has many many many opinions. He is very cute, if slightly loud.

In stunning and infuriating news, looking at the same shelf repeatedly does NOT cause a book that isn't on that shelf to appear on that shelf. So rude 😭

Crossword tournament day two: playoffs! Top 3 contestants in each division solve a puzzle on stage, on big whiteboards, in front of everyone. They get to wear noise cancelling headphones, and we audience members get color commentary from some word-nerd comedians. 😂😂❤️❤️

I'm here in glamorous Stamford, Connecticut, for the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. Yes, I am a nerd, currently happily in the midst of nearly a thousand of my fellow nerds. Contestants this year range in age from 17 to 100!!!

If I orbited the moon it would be the only thing I ever talked about for the rest of my life. This pizza is the shape of the moon, which I orbited. My dog has black fur, like space, where I went. Today is Saturday, which is a Day but there is not daylight in space, where I was last week.

Houston City Council approved a 12-5 ordinance limiting Houston Police Department cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, removing a 30-minute wait requirement during traffic stops tied to immigration warrants and requiring regular reporting on ICE contact.

Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

My beloved firstborn child texted me today, April 3rd, to ask if he needs to file a tax return and if so, how. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

As of today I'm no longer a mom of teenager(s). Younger kid is 20!! Wtf. Crazy. Here's a screenshot of a recent text conversation for your edification. I learn so much from this kid, uhh I mean this young adult. 😳🤦🏻‍♀️🥰

Airport lines are long because TSA agents aren’t getting paid. TSA agents aren’t getting paid because DHS funding is being held up in Congress. DHS funding being held up in Congress because Republicans want to illegally detain American citizens. And that’s what you missed on Glee.

TIL that if a prime number differs from another prime number by exactly 6, they're called "sexy primes." Who ever said math isn't fun? 😂 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_pr...

Bold words from the world's okayest brother 🤨😂

Why was I today years old when it hit me that the dad in Mary Poppins is named Mr. Banks and he works at a bank 🤯

BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

Why do "I'm up for that" and "I'm down for that" mean the same thing?? English is ridiculous

Happy birthday to my favorite brother, @metafrantic.bsky.social, who once wrote on his birthday wishlist "Joan not to call for _1_full_week_" while I was away at college. 🤨 Sorry you probably didn't get that wish! 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a young adult the excitement is all "I can stay up as late as I want!" and then when you're an older adult it's "I can go to bed as early as I want!" 👵🏼 (this post brought to you by 25-year-old me who would never have expected 51-year-old me to voluntarily go to bed at TEN PM 😳😱)

NWS now has two scenarios for Tues.: Mainly rain on the coastal or a chance of up to 6 inches in the Greater French Toast Area. Frankly, we're no longer used to large amounts of snow, so we're getting vexed - and raising the alert to 3 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

btw there's that NRSC poll floating around that says voters are more likely to support Platner after hearing about his tattoo here's how the question was phrased lol

Boston, are we gonna have this kind of energy when it comes for us? I sure as hell hope so.

Very helpful field guide

I’ve heard AI described as “mansplaining as a service“ by Silicon Valley women in tech

I have a lot of complex thoughts about how old our (MA) senators are, but they are IN THE MOMENT. And Markey is facing a challenge from a much younger rep who's come out anti-trans. This is Markey's response. He knows that standing for something MATTERS.

Boosting! Please boost this as much as you can!

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter. When this is all over, assuming we still have a constitutional government, there needs to be an accounting.

Why are so many people going to the airport at 5am?? Go back to bed, everyone! Sheesh
