Was the first book of yours I read. You and Tristan made me a fan

So HereWeGo dings every time I exceed the posted speed limit, even by 1 mile, and Mapquest just took me to the wrong damn address. Any other non-Google recommendations?

The challenge with abolishing ICE (which we should) is: what do tens of thousands of thugs do when they’re thrown out of work? Form new gangs. It’s a complex problem, one we need to prepare for.

I’m less than 10 minutes into the new “Lovett or Leave It” - now, apparently with an added laugh track. Hey, @jonlovett.bsky.social, what’s up? You pumping laughing gas into your new studio?

Or meditation class? And therapy, definitely therapy though it’s not a short term fix.

Burnout is real and it’s horrible . You cannot push your way through it, it will only get worse. Is there a deadline with consequences if you miss it? Can you get an extension? Can you take some time off, without electronics and go somewhere that’s not your office? If not, can you find a yoga

Rest. Set the WIP aside. Hug your sweetheart (if applicable), pet a dog. GET a dog. 🐶

Been burnt out once. Will do anything I can to prevent it again. Everything was soooo hard. Even opening my mail (back when we still got mail) felt like climbing Mt Everest.

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement. --Louise Jensen Duffy

That’s misleading. She did not come out publicly until after her death. No one knew 44 years ago.

Mets lead 16-6 in the top of the 12th. Safe to call this a W?

Hard to believe @snytv.bsky.social is going in-game player interviews in 2nd inning. Have they given up on broadcasting the game so soon?

Later, when I was old enough to worry about ear damage, friends gifted us tix to gf’s favorite singer. I returned the favor, wearing earplugs. Heard the whole concert just fine. And everyone rejoiced.

Damn. No need to wonder about the “at the time.” My gf, who neither liked nor understood his music, took me to his first E Street reunion tour at the meadowlands for a big birthday. Said she looked at it as an anthropological journey, loved watching the audience.

Calling the 3-run scoring play, Howie had Alonso following Soto. Sigh. But Bichette’s not a bad replacement. @metsradio880.bsky.social #LGM
