They couldn’t give that little girl her own garden patch? But at least the potato didn’t transmogrify into a talking gopher from outer space

Does Patel actually believe the FBI’s role in Jan 6 as the Bulwark headline reads? I don’t think we should ascribe belief to him. Let’s just stick with “he claims.”

Abrupt shift in tone at the very end didn’t help her cause, though. But she was the first one out of the block, very hard to modulate!!

Jo, in your downtime, do read My Brilliant Friend. Give it an hour and see how it goes! (You will be in.) Colleen Hoover, she is not!!

Six episodes would have been better than 10 for “Bad Monkey,” too! Fingers crossed re “Pachinko.”

Were you born before 1985? My daughter knows all the rules but texts me without capitalization or punctuation and it is not hard for her to resist (she was born in 1988). And it’s not hard for me to understand her-in fact, it’s easier to understand her bc it sounds more like her true self

Oh, I hope so! I fell in love with Billie Holiday’s music after seeing Lady Sings the Blues as a teenager and actually bought the Diana Ross album! Moved on to genuine Billie and never left. May the young ones discover Bob Dylan and Woody through the lure of Timothée!

I feel for both of you! But as a former teacher, I connect more with your poor teacher who might have interpreted your wincing expression as a struggle to grasp the atom’s essence! “How can I get through to poor MacTurkey? How about another hypothetical?!”

Agree and would add using the subjunctive case for the hypothetical thought: If I were queen of the world….

When I went back to grad school as an adult in 2000, I was required to get a measles shot due to my age. Seemed like overkill at the time. Now makes a lot of sense.

The whole weekend? That’s a requirement I did not hear in the lyrics

Nothing to apologize for! We will never laugh again at this rate. It was such a funny post and probably every published writer empathized and laughed (acidly) on reading it. Except for the handful who made you feel bad about it, sigh—
