@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I cannot tell you how pleased I am that the Bluesky things have devolved into Shakespeare appreciation in my mentions. Language is fun. Have a Hamlet!

I do not actually deal with any of those sites, but good grief, I could make bank on “Is Drew stupid” bets. Except I couldn’t because I don’t use any of those sites.

@comicsinthega.bsky.social Is this a good movie? (I sorta kid and know you love it; I have never seen it before even though someone in the family backtracked some ancestry at one point and Steve McQueen and I are maybe distant cousins?) Anyway, late night movie! First time watch!

Which pronunciation of “gallivant” is it, Merriam-Webster? WHICH ONE?!
Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day says “gallivant” is pronounced “GAL-uh-vant.”Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary (and also the 12th edition of its collegiate dictionary) says “gallivant” is pronounced “GA-li-vant.

@sarahdbunting.bsky.social I am sitting outside and reading Agatha Christie (Murder on the Orient Express, as it happens), and I turn around and see this ridiculous person committing various crimes. (It’s Sunday, I just read one of your Best Evidence pieces, thought you’d be amused by Hamlet!)
Hamlet, a chihuahua, sleeps in front of the doors. Utterly ridiculous.

Like is it 20 per cube? Is that how it works? Did Picard not fully become Locutus because the Borg quota was exceeded on that cube with his conversion?

I am extremely proud that Minnesota has a memorial in Mississippi.
The Minnesota State Memorial is located on Union Avenue at milepost 0.6 of the park tour road. This memorial honors the troops from Minnesota that participated in the Vicksburg campaign and was dedicated on May 24, 1907, and cost $24,000. It features a 90-foot tall white granite vertical column. On the foundation of the column is the word "Minnesota" sculpted into its north and south sides. At the base of the column is a raised bronze statue of a woman representing the "Statue of Peace." She is seen holding a sword and shield from both armies who have placed their weapons in her keeping. "Peace" was sculpted by William Couper.

I did not mean this photo to be so dramatic, but it amuses me. My dad got Hamlet (he of the short legs) some steps for Christmas. And so here you go. Please share with all appropriate parties.
Hamlet has steps and is quite tired.

I talk about Paul McCartney delivered good bass lines for George Harrison songs because Allen appreciates it, as he should.
