- It was the 80s. There was no Internet for quiet, personal, dignified porn searches. People were awfully thirsty. I feel like Samurai Cop would be a truly excellent SNL skit prompt, though.
- This is extremely true. I want a film where the entire point of it is two attractive and charismatic people LONGING for each other, but unable to finally get it until the last 1/8th of the film. And then that had better be one hell of a sex scene.

- But you WON, Stephen. It would be even worse if you were in second-place.
- @kateelliottsff.bsky.social Everyone must've reposted this to you by now, but I saw it and was like, KATE.
- Laughing SO HARD right now.
- Literally every New Yorker I’ve talked to about it has said they love it.
- NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- Kind of like I finally got my toddler to consent to wearing mittens. He hated them, tried to rip them off constantly. Then I took him outside on a cold day and put the mittens on him. He was all, "heeeeeeey these fucking things are actually pretty useful. really liking these things all of a sudden."

- You know, as suspense-creating teaser questions go, this somehow isn't quite there.
- WILL the Titanic arrive in New York City on time? (and other nail-biting questions!)

- I don't begrudge Canada my vaccine tourist dollars, but I am pissed as hell about the fact that I will probably have to take a vaccine destination vacation.

- The leadership we need right now is Harry Reid reincarnated as a super pissed off wolverine. All the parliamentary knowledge + the willingness to attack animals many times his own size and just bite wildly until they give up and run.
- Like this. But with more democracy.

- Yeah. Highlights exactly what these doctors were capable of doing once they had fully dehumanized people, then they went home and were perfectly respectable husbands and fathers. In college I was shown footage that was taken at camp liberation. Not a movie -- GI footage. Just unspeakable.
- I know that it was basically established in the first Trump term that no one was going to do anything about the blatant grift, ever, but I feel like a jet is kind of a big and glaring emolument.

- It just seemed kind of hilariously incongruous at the moment, and Eliot was keeping with the theme. Tone can be hard on the Internet.

- GUNS, GERMS, AND STEEL is in the middle of that stack all, WTF, man.
- Recently my eight-year-old looked up at one of my bookshelves where I put most of my history books, and asked, "What is THE NAZI DOCTORS about?" and it was.... well. Kind of a long moment of thinking of exactly how to respond to that one. Wish he could've started with LUST IN TRANSLATION instead.
- This is a really good point.

- It's probably the best written and plotted Star Wars show/movie ever, but DAMN is it uncomfortable viewing right now.
- I remember when people cared about conflicts of interest.

- If there's one thing we can be certain of about Hell, though, it's that there are committees for this. Lots. And lots. Of committees. Many meetings. Lots of readings of minutes. At least half of every meeting spent scheduling the next meeting.
- Friends, there;s no good way to give you this news (and I still so much watt to believe it's a terrible nightmare: but it's not.) Briefly: gone now, untimely, unexpectedly, and already so very much missed: @peter.petermorwood.com www.tumblr.com/dduane/78306...

- Oh, you think that, John? This guy is from Chicago. The first American Pope. Boston is going to be in ASHES tonight.

- At the very least, the first one who enjoyed it.
- Okay, so not just an American Pope, but a CHICAGO Pope? That communion wafer is going to be DEEP DISH, ya'll.

- I was upstairs writing in my office and I just thought, "This sounds fine," and kept working. The supervisor informed me ALL about the incident when I came downstairs. MAN was my mom pissed.

- Oh, that's really nice. It's like, "I can teach them to write, or I can teach them to unpack what they're reading, but I can't do both in one damn semester."
- It's weird having good news in a time of what is essentially a period of political and cultural sewage, but umm hey, THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is a USA Today bestseller! So thanks to everyone who has checked the book out. Y'all are the most bestest readers around. <3
- That's amazing, Chuck! Congratulations!

- People have been able to cheat their way through a STEM degree for decades, this is a known major problem, and only with the advent of AI has this even been noticed by the humanities, who have decided to melt down and reinvent the wheel instead of just asking their peers how they cope with it.

- Oh, hard same. I like the readings that I have left, but I had to strip out everything that needed serious in-class unpacking, because I just don't have the time left.

- The universe wants our book in it.
- Of course, it also seems like part of the problem that they're getting to your class without the ability to write a real thesis graf & a detailed outline...
- Let's just say that it's a confluence of a lot of factors and leave it at that.
