OK I made my ballot. I think I should've put GLOW instead of The Americans? Tough call.

I’m re-reading the Book of Dust books in preparation for book 3 coming soon, and I have to say for the millionth time Philip Pullman is an observant, fearless genius. Maybe my favorite writer.

The lines between the squares in the NYT xword app have started showing up with variable thickness and no actually I’m feeling fine why are you looking at me like that

For posterity, here’s the best thing I ever tweeted: a video of Mayor DiBlasio landing a helicopter in Prospect Park in 2016. (I was immediately contacted by dozens of local news orgs and made about $500 thanks to the lessons I learned from Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nightcrawler.)

Painful to give up this glorious 4.5 year streak but on the other hand it is just a game. I support the NYT Tech Guild in their fight for a fair contract! @nytguildtech.bsky.social

This paper from my 3rd grader’s end-of-year stack started quite an editor rant (SAID IS PERFECTLY FINE AND FORCING YOURSELF TO USE OTHER DIALOGUE TAGS CAN BE EXTREMELY DISTRACTING BUT IF YOUR TEACHER SAYS TO DO THIS YOU SHOULD BUT IN REAL LIFE PLEASE JUST USE SAID)

Sometimes I feel like a cool young millennial and then I find the PAPER ROLODEX where I would staple business cards and hand write out people’s contact info!!!!! Accurate as of 2007, I’d guess?? So actually yes I am a geriatric millennial, cusp gen xer.

I love love love Merrily We Roll Along, I’ve seen at least a dozen amateur and profesh productions, and the current broadway revival with Groff & Radcliffe & Mendez is just so so so good. (Also saw it off-bw & it holds up on the bigger stage!) Look at how happy I am 🥲
