Separate but related, I recently overheard two old guys talking admiringly about Farage. One called him “a businessman”. I was so tempted to ask, “What exactly is his business…?”
Talking about work to people who don’t work, which he himself hasn’t really done for decades either.

Only once, when two Party members, both women, were pressed close together on the bench, he overheard amid the din of voices a few hurriedly-whispered words; and in particular a reference to something called 'room one-oh-one', which he did not understand.

I once had business dealings with a guy who would pejoratively call Black people "Obamas", and then I overheard him talking on the phone with his wife about Dr. Ben Carson. "Well he's a very smart guy, maybe he should be President."

At a gathering on Sunday morning, overheard this:
Lady: “the man who got stabbed walking his dog. It’s just getting worse and worse. Good old Nige’ will sort it, he’ll stop the boats.”
Didn’t have the heart to tell her to delete all the social media apps off her phone.

Wings so translucent are more aesthetic than appendage, but they work well enough in an emergency. And at night in the forest, emergencies do happen. The ears are her greatest asset. Overheard: everything

C: Do you have any benadryl?
Me, having overheard her: Hang on I'm looking *pulling out a bottle of diphenhydramine* Here you go.
Her: No. BEN-A-DRYL.

I promise this is true.
Sometime after "Mask," "Silkwood" and "The Witches of Eastwick" had come and gone, and between “Suspect" and "Moonstruck," I overheard two teen girls talking as they looked at albums in a Musicland.
“Cher SINGS?" one of them yelled to the other.

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

I overheard a couple of my students marveling at Sliwa’s debate performance…do I have a pedagogical obligation to send them this?
Was honored to help @chana.bsky.social edit this deep dive compilation of Curtis Sliwa lore gathered over weeks. There is so much jaw-dropping material, we simply could not bear to make it shorter than 76 slides.
I’m sorry but you still don’t know enough about Curtis Sliwa

For Algorab he trained on the streets, every fight he got into was practice, and even fight became more and more ruthlessly efficient.
But for his general knowledge he learned just from what he overheard in the taverns later in life, but before the bars allowed him in the Library helped him learn.

As we were investigating, I overheard a fair few conversations between the Plegians at the festival. Everyone spoke with some regret, even in light of the festival.
