Wife Guy Book Corner: @rebeccaromney.com ‘s Jane Austen’s Bookshelf was really good. Looking forward to discussing it at book club on Saturday

Another case of West Coast Bias. Shame on @nba.com

Personal space is merely a suggestion around here

We need a WPA for bullying

Someone more knowledgeable than me may have to weigh in, but I believe this has to be the first time the phrase ‘grind culture queen’ has been uttered in the Hallmark Universe

This woman (IMDB tells me Gabrielle Rose) has absolutely the best energy for her role which makes me wonder how Hallmark snagged her.

I get that this is a take on a Christmas Carol, but ‘Neezer’? Geesh

Oh, so this is going to be one of THOSE kinds of Hallmark movies. Noted.

I won’t lie: anytime someone changes their profile pic or display name it takes me a while to figure out who they are.

Neil Postman was just referenced in an article I have to read for my class, so I am obligated to tag @snowden.st

"I have trained my whole life in the battlefield of crisis" - me, when the cats are trying to destroy my office chair

One of the women in the book I’m reading right now kept an ‘Enemies Outlived’ list, and I think this is an important idea and had to share

Yeah, I'm a thought leader. Letting my thoughts lead me to write checks my ass can't cash.

For @truthdig.com, I checked out Nuremberg and its predecessor Judgment at Nuremberg and came away with the extremely unsettling notion that the impact of Holocaust footage isn’t what it was and should be. Hope I’m totally wrong. (H/T again @mobute.bsky.social) www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

This is ‘forget going to the gym, I’m just hanging out at home all day’ weather

I got this same outfit from T.J. Maxx for considerably less

BACKBEATS is out today! Come see me & @andreapitzer.bsky.social at Kramers in DC tonight at 7: kramers.com/events/36367... DM me a receipt if you’d like a signed book plate in the mail. And read an excerpt in @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

It is very funny to see a discussion on the importance of continuity in my feed this morning about a character who has been portrayed on film for over 60 years and by seven different actors. That ship has sailed.

Just in from my wife on the front lines of the war zone that is Portland, OR

Notebooks full of ideas, binders full of women: the modern Republican Party truly has something for everyone.

My complete interview with Matt Sitman and Sam Adler-Bell of Know Your Enemy fame is now live on Game Stories. It includes a supercut of them introducing each other as their great/good friend set to the Andrew Gold song Thank You for Being a Friend, better known as the Golden Girls theme. Enjoy!

While I’m a former wife guy who still cherishes the notion of lifelong commitment, if I made more than $250,000 a year, much less MILLIONS, Priyanka Chopra couldn’t get me to marry her. Not Liz Phair, Kate Upton, nobody. Imagine being a weird wealthy hornball and still getting MARRIED. Are you dumb?

Green’s book is a fascinating look at the early ‘80s NYC art scene. And he captures an array of cultural currents—the rising awareness of police violence, the heyday of tabloid journalism, and soon-to-be celebrities like Keith Haring, Basquiat, and Madonna—without the book feeling overstuffed.

This what peak male performance looks like. (Hungover but still made it to the gym.)

Credit to Entomologists who are the only people who can make ‘would you like to see some bugs?’ charming

So I decided to look up the claims frequencies of other types of insurance and along the way discovered that the claim frequency for employer provided insurance is actually LOWER, & historically MUCH lower, than people with Obamacare marketplace plans. (He is a medical doctor. He is lying to you.)

i cut out the poster because it's just a meme and I don't want to be too Mr. Woke, but it's so facile to think either gambling addiction, getting mixed up in a criminal org. or BOTH is as simple as "ooh looking at this quick cash I can make"

DJ, my unofficially doggo goddaughter, seems to be settling in nicely and we love to see it.

Sharing is caring

For IL people who aren’t getting an answer from Durbin’s office, some of Tammy Duckworth’s offices are answering. Their offices are in at least some of the same buildings. Ask her offices to deliver the message to him. Who knows how effective it’ll be, but by God, now’s the time to be annoying.

Move over performative reading, I’m a performative poster

It’s the happiest season: recriminations season

‘We will keep fighting by giving up’ is a hell of a message. A+. No notes.

For real, wtf is a promise of a vote. How brain damaged do you have to be to think that’s ‘getting’ anything. Kaine should fucking know better, but here the fuck we are.

Get fucked my dude

I need to follow my own advice and Log The Fuck Off. I want you to know I love each and every one of you, and I’m here for you if you need me

Look, I’m gonna stick to the positive and things I know to be true: my boy @rumpledchords.bsky.social adopted a dog and she’s beautiful and I couldn’t be happier for him

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Far too many of you will post like bad outcomes have ready happened when they havent and not only is it demoralizing, it's wild confusing for people wondering if they still should be pushing to prevent the bad thing.

It is impossible to take seriously any sport played in these condition (yes, including American football)

Elect me to the senate where I promise to recognize that I’m a member of a co equal branch of government and won’t take shit from anybody

Adding this to my workout playlist

Just blast this on a speaker outside all their offices

Vs the Mack

I'm so confused. What Dem senators/reps have explicitly said they support going forward without ACA. Because I'm hearing rumors and then only seeing explicit nos from House members and then a bunch of panicked noise on the TL.

This is incredibly funny considering, you know, trump *did* explicitly encourage the events of January 6.

Please listen to @itsthebrandi.bsky.social , so knows what she’s talking about way more than I ever will

I am simply going to voice what I DO want my reps to do as well what I DON'T want them to do, so that we're not always calling them with pure defensive suggestions.

On the one hand it is good to keep pressure on your senators to do the right thing, but on the other it probably isn’t a good idea to treat politico or axios as seriously as they want you to take them.
