That just gave me my biggest laugh of the day.

I lead a book club on Meetup and I keep getting messages from authors asking about invitations they’ve gotten to speak to my book club. Of course, I didn’t send them. I’ve reported this to Google (these come from a Gmail address) but whenever I do, they start using a different address.

Also listening to Howard on my way to work. I remember them saying you could see it from the roof of their building.

Not the most important thing by a long shot but I’m enjoying the misspelling on their chyron.

God bless them, despite everything Bezos has done to the Post, there are still good reporters there trying to commit journalism.

I lead a classic fiction book club and I can’t tell you how many people have written me asking about an email I purportedly sent Inviting them to speak about their decidedly non-classic fiction book. Most know it’s a scam and are checking with me to make sure. A few don’t; I hate disappointing them.

I’m a Maryland poll worker. Thank you so much for highlighting what an important job this is. We always need people, particularly (ironically) Republicans, Independents, and other non-Democratic parties, to serve in our heavily Democratic county. I hope your words prompt people to serve.

Apparently, Evans’s group on the Village Vanguard sessions was supposed to be fantastic. I think his bassist died in a car wreck not long after.

I got you — Bill Evans. The albums he did with Tony Bennett in the 70s are sublime.

Also, while the Post’s leadership and the op-ed page are a joke, there are still reporters there trying to commit journalism and turning out some really good stories in the bargain. Let me remind you who broke the story about Trump being snuck off Air Force One.

I actually don’t see AOC as president but I think she has the makings of a really good Speaker.

Karen @kleewrite.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
I could see her in the Senate and/or some kind of Congressional leadership. But I don’t think she can win the presidency. And I actually like her.

I honestly would have more respect for Cassidy if he said he voted to confirm RFK Jr. because he needed Trump’s endorsement for his reelection. At least then, he would look like a mere idiot instead of a blithering idiot.

I do wonder whether this is a situation where the Navy is considering it so they can at least tell Trump they looked at the possibility and realized it can’t be done.

I’m in the opposite camp. My son’s home state is liberal. The state where he goes to college is Ohio.

Any chance Emmer will get his ass thrown out of office? I can’t imagine this rhetoric sits well with the constituents.

I’m curious — were there any Democrats on the panel who were able to bail Fauci out in the face of this lunacy? I can’t imagine they would have just sat by while he was assailed by these loons.

I think I’ve seen Joe Jackson something like five times. He’s a fantastic live performer.

I just realized my post should have said “getting rid of *primaries*”. Doh!

Karen @kleewrite.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
I don’t know that I agree with getting rid of counties but I will say that in Montgomery County, MD, we got 23% turnout for the primary. 23% in a county where if you win the primary, you win the general.

Now that’s a candidate I can get behind. I don’t live in Maine, of course…

No, but people are deriding his opinions in large part because he used to be a Republican (ironically, Collins was the final straw for him leaving the party).

Karen @kleewrite.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
If they were, I would think he wouldn’t have cancelled his events. Plus, the Republicans would have waited until after the deadline for him to withdraw from the race.

You should see all the shit Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social has been getting on his feed for months because he has said from the beginning that Platner’s presence will tank a winnable Senate race. This has to be one of the few things on which he and Elie agree.

Curious whether Bibi agrees right now.

Frankly, I’m shocked she found a grand jury that would indict.

I still remember Jonathan Capeheart quoting an older Black woman (I think his mother) that she was voting for Biden over Harris in the primary because only an old white man could beat another old white man.

I also submit that no one goes for the jugular like (former) Republicans do. Which is why I’m happy to welcome at least some of them to our side.

🚨NEWS: Unlike right-wing grifter Nick Sortor's lies of a violent "Antifa"camp at Delaney Hall ICE prison—which went viral on X, Fox, and the right wing machine, our @jordanchariton.bsky.social did actual journalism. Here is reality...

My 23-year-old daughter watched “The Blues Brothers with her 26-year-old friend. Her friend didn’t recognize most of the music acts. Not James Brown. Not Ray Charles. Not even Aretha. Sad.

I agree with you, but it wasn’t that he knew better, it was that he didn’t have the votes. The Banner surveyed the senator and a LOT of them, including Democrats, were not on board with redistricting.
