I got this in a review once. I suspect the reviewer saw “South Africa” in the affiliation and assumed. Still pisses me off.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

I feel like I'm watching the entire world population surpass the U.S. in intelligence.

Social media post:

Absolutely, 100%. Every single one of them.
They're poison"
Jason Selvig: "What about Polio vaccine?"
TS: "There hasn't been a case of Polio in how
many years, since 1960?"
JS: "Since the vaccine ... "

For the record, the proportion of professors at Cambridge who are Black is 0.4%. The number of Black people in the UK population is 4%. So the number of Black professors at Cambridge is ONE TENTH of what you would expect in a meritocracy.

Surely the previous semi finals would have been as important as this match? So this would be the biggest match since they were last in a semifinal? This headline just really annoys me.

The Boks are on the verge of their 10th consecutive Test win. If they beat Scotland, they will complete a rare sweep of the Rugby Champs and 6N teams – in the space of 12 months. Results are impressive, but margins, tries for and against tell the real story about SA's dominance

I have inevitably left the self review thing I need to do to the last minute, and answering questions like “what do you do well” and “where do you want to grow” is not easy with a head cold.

Sometimes as an NYT books columnist you find yourself quoted in the Atlantic by Helen Lewis, who believes two odd things: 1. That nobody is reading Pratchett anymore (instead of all the time, as they should), and 2. That Pratchett’s politics are hard to pin down, and Reg Shoe is not a fucking hero.
