Anyway, I nonchalantly replied “No, this is my husband and we’re going to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving” and he was unfazed. It’s just weird the things some people think though.
Maybe he assumed/thought we were a gay couple but he didn’t want to be embarrassed if he was wrong? Who knows.

@hitormiss.org and I took a Lyft from the NJ train station to my parents’ house today for Thanksgiving. We were driving along for a while, and then as we approached the house the driver said, “Do you guys work together?” 🙃🙃🙃

It’s weird how there’s nothing specifically Christian or non-Jewish about gingerbread houses, and yet they haven’t traditionally seemed like a Jewish thing? Maybe it’s the whole “heimat” or “Gemütlichkeit” aspect? Medieval Germany and all that? That said, there’s no reason why Jews can’t make them!

Maybe unpopular opinion: the word “Christmas” sounds kinda ugly when sung. The first syllable “chri” ends in a yucky sound. Then it’s followed by “smas” which just sounds weird.
Maybe it depends on the song - whether or not the break comes after the vowel, and how long the break is.

Robert A.M. Stern was a big deal in the architecture world, especially in NYC, and he just came out with a new book last month.

First, Happy Thanksgiving. Second, I've been doing my best to really understand Claude Code so I've been building a piano practice app, and asked it to include some inspirational quotes, and the result is somewhere between “oh god no“ and “knocked it out of the park.”

A variety cryptic crossword should really give you at least a fighting chance of figuring out what the hell the gimmick is, so that I don't feel like throwing it across the room after I look up the solution

@natanlast.bsky.social I think I might have seen you yesterday evening coming out of a subway station in the Village? But it was raining and you (or they) had headphones on and I wasn't sure if it was you, and thought maybe you were just on my brain because of your book coming out...
