Oh, but they need constant remodeling because: gingerbread!

I guess I snagged my copy just in time! And I hope thousands of others did the same.

I think you meant "linchpin"—but then again, it's Trump, so ok never mind….

PS: my book club discussed The Mere Wife over dinner earlier this month. We had shrimp cocktail, charcuterie, salad, and pizza (choose your own toppings!)

My power went out at 3 this morning; Xcel pushed back the estimated restoration from 7pm today to noon Sun to we don't know when. But I count my blessings: I have a good wood stove, pets to huddle with, and camping gear including good coolers + portable battery/solar to recharge lanterns & phone. 🤞🏼

Yeah, I heard the news—and surprised myself with how fast I flicked through all the stages of grief.

And even ordinary things, like the trumpster in the alley where you empty your trash cans.

There’s also ~triple the space between letters—maybe because his name would look even pettier by comparison. In typesetting that is called fluffing*.

Came to say this very thing. Also, recentering the second line after removing “the” would’ve required a great deal of additional work, including filling original anchor holes and cleaning/resurfacing newly-exposed stone so it matches the rest.

Does Andrew also think that Stephen King is hugely popular because people actually *want* to be dragged into the sewer by an eldritch horror?

And I can think of several other things that are overripe and need to be chucked straight into the compost

"Tenderloin" in an Indiana diner refers to this (from a Business Insider article, "The most famous local sandwich from every state"):

This is Biden's "portrait" on the wall of the colonnade outside the Oval Office. Trump has labeled it The Presidential Walk of Fame. As far as I know, all the other presidents have an actual portrait.

Put them all in a supermax gilded with spray-painted styrofoam geegaws—make it a steel and cement replica of his Big Beatiful Ballroom. Then Leavitt, Wiles, Miller, the Trump clan, plus his devoted Cabinet can each earn $1.50 a day as his only caretakers.

They've cultivated a compliant, stenographic "access" press—they clearly don't know what to do with a publication that puts its legacy first.
