Apparently I am the type of person who has a clear favorite for European Tree of the Year. 🤷🏻‍♀️🌳 www.treeoftheyear.org

Doing a rewatch of Friday Night Lights and...maybe I shouldn't revisit beloved things. 🫤 Characters I thought I loved are pretty awful at times. I'm looking at you, Coach Taylor. I'm hoping he evolves over the 5 seasons—or else I'm going to have to really question my younger self's judgement.

Me, startled awake at 5am: How many innocent people will die if we to war with Iran? Will my nephew get kidnapped traveling abroad by himself? Is this lump cancer?? My husband, startled awake at 5am: Was the house in Step By Step the same house used in Liv and Maddie?

Personal preference time: "Okay" is the better option over "OK" #amcopyediting but also #amfollowingthestyleguide so "OK" it is. I blame MW for this one, ha.

The word I'm looking for is never dibber*, it's dinner. How autocorrect can regularly change perfectly correct words to absolutely incorrect words, but never fix dibber, is boggling. *And yes, dibber is a word, however "What would you like for dibber?" is very obviously not what I was going for.

Listen, I like a good fiber boost in the morning as much as the next gal, but who on this great wrinkly grape that is our world is buying cereal at this price??

Me just constantly reminding myself to unclench my jaw all day, every day.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

so funny to remember news reports last year about "trump fires BLS people because they kept making numbers he was unhappy about" and now see serious reporters be like "BLS numbers seem better than expected, what are the implications of this..."

I wonder how many people are tuning into Man United vs West Ham due to the drama of will he or won’t he get to cut his hair? lol

US: Pushing all the most repugnant policy things Japan: Hold my Asahi

So happy for Bernal. #barca #mallorca

Remembering the time when our neighbor’s trash can blew over and we came across this gem lol

"For their part, proponents of AI agents are less worried." oh, that's a real shocker. 🙄

Five random things I appreciate these days: Wonder Man FC Barcelona Emma C Wells Audiobooks Brisk winter walks #fivethingsthatbringmejoy

More attention here, please.

Someone posting "Might as well join in the fun 😂" and you know, without looking, you're about to see some AI slop.

The number of assists Lamine (and others) should have is wild. Absolutely wild. That game was frustrating and joyous and stressful and wonderfully distracting. Thank you, Barca! #Albacete #Barcelona #copadelrey

This is absolutely amazing. 🥰What a lovely and meaningful and gorgeous setting! Congrats!

Can confirm that WONDER MAN is, indeed, delightful. Four episodes in and each one is fabulous, from story to acting to cheeky cameos. Just really, really well done.

Nine minutes of stoppage time 😂 #rmaray #realmadrid #laliga

❤️

WONDER MAN looks delightful, so there's that anyway.

Happy to have some Champions League to watch this afternoon; a few hours away from the chaos is a blessing right now. #forcabarca

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We are at house-making-strange-popping-sounds levels of cold here. Goodness.

My petty little gripe: Jared Leto still being cast in literally anything, let alone a "big name" movie, is just super annoying. #mastersoftheuniverse

Have been obsessed with this song since I heard it in a Party of Five episode many, many moons ago #sassjordan www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqFz...

I've been hit hard by the midafternoon sleepies. Just need to get through three more pages, then I can get up and shake it off. #amcopyediting #amtired

My MOTM is Frenkie for that one. Or Fermin. Good game. Hopefully Pedri just realized he didn’t have it today and self-subbed. #barca #championsleague

Today I learned about "zoomer hagmaxxing," and can I tell you how much I love my job? The boring days are few and far between, that is for sure, haha! #amcopyediting #amediting #amlearning

I think Dro is a great example of one of the problems of bringing up these kids so young. Lamine is the exception, not the rule; all these kids think they should be starting & playing immediately. I really hope the folks in Dro's ear know what they are doing, but it sure doesn't feel like it. #barca

I got some new hands-free slip-on Sketchers and I love them so much. 🤩 Every shoe should be exactly this!

Oh this is a delightful read and an interesting look at the business of reprints.

Listen, I'd love to post something about that Real Madrid game, but until Barca get by Racing, which won't be a cakewalk, I'm just gonna keep it zipped. And hope Barca learned a lesson to not take this game lightly. #copadelrey

An episode & a half into The Night Manager S2, & I'm enjoying Jonathan Pine doing Jonathan Pine things. But it's astounding just how many criminals-discussing-crime conversations he's overheard in hotel lobbies. Like, every bit of important info is seemingly conveyed in very public spaces & just— 🤦🏻‍♀️

To the person at Netflix who thought it made sense to tag Jay Kelly as a drama *and* a comedy: A running cheesecake joke does not make said film a comedy. Come on, people.

Remembering to be thankful for the good things in my life. Speaking of which, time for a walk with the good boy.

Watching the Vanderbilt women’s basketball game and just got hit with the most disturbing Smokey the Bear commercial. Holy crap, what have they done. Stuff of nightmares. AI slop ruins literally everything.

It's January. I live in the midwest. And someone is...mowing their lawn. 🤔

Starting the year with a copyedit of a charming romantasy that features a cat café and it's giving me all the warm fuzzies. Great start to 2026. #amediting #amcopyediting #amcontent

Really loved Bugonia. Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and the whole cast are fantastic and the story is a wild ride! To the sound editor though: The music didn't have to be 100x louder than the dialogue, I promise you. Please, for the love of all that's holy, stop doing that.

A reminder of all the beauty this world has to offer. 🐾 🐶 And the sunset is pretty too. 😊

Just remembering when I had tingling in my arms/legs & a-new-to-me PCP first implied I needed anxiety meds, then said I might have MS & sent me for an MRI, only for the (wonderful) neurologist to look at the same labs my PCP had and say "You have low B12, take a supplement" and that took care of it.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains. The hidden track at the end, "Whoops Now," is pure joy.

Are there people out there *without* tinnitus?? The peace they must experience, whew. I’m not jealous of much, but that? Yeah. I’m jealous of that. Maybe there will be a cure in my lifetime. One can dream. 🤫 😌

Excellent read. I've definitely noticed an uptick in this sort of writing style of late, and this is great advice for copy editors on how to approach it. Plus, we get this gem: "No point in picking fights one is almost certainly going to lose. One is not, after all, Jake Paul or Andrew Tate."

If by "most transparent" this administration means "most transparently incompetent and evil," then yes. Yes, they are.

Finally #barca #copadelrey

What an uncomfortable half of soccer #barca #copadelrey
