Lemon Drop Martinis before dinner.

Two martini glasses, each containing an opaque yellow liquid and a lemon twist, on a quartz countertop with a brown subway tile backdrop.

That was your literal description of what he said. I get it. He's harassing someone who is Jewish, so it must be because he is Jewish, in spite of what he said both to the person and what he wrote about it.

I'm missing the part of his xweet where he says he wants to "harass a Jewish man in public".

tweet text: "dude, i he was great on Gaza I'd still roast his ass. He is pro-deregulation, has displaced working families & queers by removing rent control and tenants protections, demolished affordable housing in favor of luxury investment properties, supported sweeps and taken right wing $"

I'd written this last night, at the time of our back&forth, 13 hours before you just now responded. And tl;dr: other people did helpfully provide context after I wrote that. And I discussed it with them and thanked them for the context.

Post the best picture you have ever take of your pet:

Four baby guinea pigs squished against each other on a red towel. Left to right, Chocolate, Caramel, Cocoa, and Othello (who we later learned was Othella).

7:30am JFK Terminal 5, text from my son: "The entire interior of the airport is the security line". It was 90 minutes to get through. His flight was delayed 60 minutes waiting for its passengers.

My wife is on a birding trip and is seeing a bunch of LIFERS.

Screen shot of message:
Her: “So far I have 38 lovers and the days not over yet.”
Me: “That sounds exhausting.”
Her: “It's been a very long hot and dusty day”
Me: “That also sounds uncomfortable.“
Her: “I'm getting my second wind.”

I so do not enjoy it when the App Store reviewer has their location services disabled, and rejects my app for improperly asking for location permissions. "The user is redirected to the Settings app to grant access before showing the permission request."

Thank goodness I had cruise control last week because while this street is marked 25mph, I could have easily accidentally gone 45 just because of how wide it is.

Four lane wide local road with no lane markings, and a "speed limit 25" sign.

I love my neighborhood loading zones. I wish the truck drivers would use them.

Sometimes I need to remember to appreciate the simple things. My wife bought me a seltzer maker for Christmas. A slice of lemon, handful of ice, and fresh seltzer is really great.
