C saved until just now to tell me about being behind in line at the Jewels from a guy buying exactly sixty pomegranates. There was a language barrier with the cashier. What do you do with sixty pomegranate? He was insistent on getting the sale price.

Solid internal rhyme

Bluesky’s fatal flaw: NO DRAFTS??

I wasn't able to get tickets to The Women and Children First book event tonight. But it's streaming online so I'm going to watch that. It's about to start but I'm going to make popcorn. It usually takes them quite a few minutes to get through the land acknowledgment

SEND IN THE TROOPS! They will fix this RAMPAGING crime!! Thank you for your attention to this matter

Yeah go ahead and put them all in jail, then the planes can fly again while they are in jail

there's a whole section in ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM where Arendt just bashes the Boers at length, I found it funny and jarring

I think it's newsworthy and worth reporting that someone said this. But I think it's also basically impossible to predict events that far away in these circumstances. Consider incentives to say this. Consider that they didn't announce this week's conclusion of activities in advance.

Please, call me Jim. James was my father, until he was blown to pieces in an explosion.

The piece about monkey farms I read last night was so depressing I almost couldn't sleep, so this piece about Irish cocaine dealers who coöperate with Hezbollah is a good change of pace. Two of the Irish gangsters are named Gary and Gerry, they are uncle and nephew.

I can never remember what those things are called. I always just call them "Those things from that one airport that look like they're from Star Wars"

Yes yes this is very good, one of her best, both about what it's about, and also about more than that

Now I just have to decide what to affix the stickers to

When you dig into it, it is pretty interesting how much of Washington's global power in the post-War era came down to taking iron ore from Duluth, and taking coal from southern Illinois and the Appalachians, and combining them at preposterous temperatures in Gary.

Reminds me of one of my favorite fact-checking parentheticals of all time.

It always makes me smile a little bit to see U.N. member states using the Gray Lady to communicate with each other. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/w...

Gotta do my teeth whitening strips. Maybe I can combine that half hour wait with shoveling the sidewalk.

Turned on the light in the kitchen and saw a two inch creature scurry up and into (somehow?) my oven. Hoping it's just a centipede!

Nothing compares to the suffering of a senator whose flight back from Napa was just canceled.

I guess the pastiche doesn't include Freud!!

We are driving the Winnepeg house guest to the Blue Line to the airport and I'm pretty sure I have found his 3:55pm ORD>YYZ flight and that it's three hours delayed but I am not bringing this up because I am ready for him to be gone.

As someone who doesn't have to leave the house until maybe even Wednesday, I'm cool with this.

Couldn’t resist

We always ask visitors what cuisine they want that they can't get at home and the Winnepegger chose sushi but then was bad with chopsticks? Life is just full of mysteries.

The French brought a delegation of Iroquois to Paris to meet Louis XV and the Iroquois were baffled that the poor people just starved in the streets instead of taking the food from the rich people.

Holy shit

I decided I wanted a table for my home office that was a very specific size and I have some scrap 2x4s in the garage so I'm trying my hand at some rough carpentry. All fingers present and accounted for still. Amazing how much smaller 33" looks in the empty garage then it does inside the apartment

It's incredibly difficult. It's like living under military occupation. It's like living in a horror movie. I am perpetually unclear how much people in other places are receiving accurate specific information about what it's like.

her husband asked about my deal and I was like OKAY MY WIFE DOESN'T LIKE THIS WAY OF EXPLAINING IT BUT 500 YEARS AGO IN SWITZERLAND

Had exactly one beer and got into a conversation about how we take over the firm, again. Inshallah we do it

The median voter knows one thing about politics and its that Donald Trump is president, and they are such Rand fetishists they don't understand this

I might be a multi-millionaire in Canada. I haven't checked the exchange rate in a while.

They should bring in an I.T. guy to testify about how long it will take because I have never heard of an I.T. guy lying about how technology works.
