This looks interesting... I'm going to see if I can read it through my library tomorrow.

A black and white striped ribbed long-sleeved shirt I got at a market in Florence when my husband and I were first dating. We've been married for 31 years now. I wore the shirt to work the week before last. I also have jeans from the early 90s that I still wear when they fit.
What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear? I just pulled out a 29-year-old puffy coat that is still plenty puffy.

Shockingly, my Apple music top artist for 2025 was ELO for the second year in a row. Top song: Living Thing (it had an advantage because it was on my faves list twice.) Top album: Time, exc. Apr., when it was Dark Side of the Moon for obvious reasons. Curious if the ELO hyperfixation goes thru 2026.

I think this is my best essay on this topic (maybe my best essay). I'd like you to read it, if you haven't.
It also means (@lollardfish.bsky.social has ably written about this) that you as a parent are forced to concentrate on and narrate your child's difficulties just to get them what they need, which is damaging to your child and your relationship with them.

One of my biggest Jeopardy pet peeves is contestants who say “what is” instead of “who is” for people. I really hate that. (We’re catching up; in Sept right now.)

Incompetent is the kind interpretation of this man’s work. Cowardly and partisan is probably more accurate. And he seems to think he’s more intelligent than that paper’s former subscribers.
I think the exec editor of the @nytimes.com continues to misread much of the criticism of his newspaper. For example, many critics are begging the Times to stop putting Trump lies in headlines without facts or context. That's not partisan, it's good journalism.

I'm still boycotting Subway for yelling at my four-year-old because he wanted a baloney kid's sandwich. He's now almost 30. Y'all don't think I can hold a grudge against AI and its pushers for the rest of my life? LOL.
