Then I switched to doing the Tuesday puzzle with the same goal of hitting under 10, and I only had to go back to the Feb. 27th puzzle of this year, which I just completed in 9:23. You may all congratulate me now. 🙇‍♂️ On to Wednesdays...

I haven’t been following the investigation or whatever, so I didn’t realize the shooter was white.

Weird to not have any gripes with a NYT headline. One would hope that this would lead to some self-reflection on their part, but not even I am that optimistic.

I gotta say, having The Rolling Stones latest tour be sponsored by the AARP seems like a joke a hack comedian would make, but also it's the literal reality so...?

Wore the most patriotic t-shirt I own today.

If you see this, skeet a photo you took at sunset

It's inescapable.

Is there a tip line, maybe with a reward? Because I have a pretty good idea…

I've said it before and I'll (probably) say it again. Nothing has made me lose respect for the Navy SEALs more than living in an area where they interact with the public on a regular basis. If you want to hear some shit, ask anyone in a service job in San Diego about their SEAL horror stories.

If I’m ever Canceled™️, it will be because I listen to Christmas music out of season. On purpose.

Absolutely embarrassing. Just completely bodied. 😂😂😂

I actually thought the kicker on this paragraph was probably the most emblematic of the issue. What, exactly, do you think attracted that kid to become a cop himself? It wasn’t a drive to enforce law and order and protect people from bad drivers…

Just absolutely amazing that the police union hasn't been investigated and prosecuted. All of this corruption just out in the open www.nytimes.com/2024/01/16/n...

eBay had it for much cheaper. I picked my copy - in great condition - just a few months ago.

Oh, he knows. 😏

I am now to the point that I can stumble through conversations in Spanish, though most of the conversations are about how I can’t understand them when they speak at a normal pace, and please talk to me like I’m a toddler.

If we actually treated white collar crime seriously, this paragraph would have been followed by 50 FBI and IRS agents being assigned to go over Larry Gagosian's finances the day after publication. cc: @johnrogers.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

A flowchart distributed in the 60s and early 70s as part of a teacher's guide created by two engineers at AT&T Bell Labs to help introduce kids to programming. Thank goodness we solved sexism in software engineering and everything is great now.

This is my Official 100th book of the year*. 🎉🥳🎊🍾 *though it only tracks the ones I read in Books.app and not physical or in Kindle.

Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher So I started to read the newest Paladin book, got three chapters in and realized that it has characters from Grace, which I have read before but that was 3 years and hundreds of books ago. So I reread it real quick to refresh. It’s still great. Now onto Faith.

@johnsides.bsky.social FYI, there's a weird typo-thingy in the third paragraph.

Hey, they got the basic timeline and causality right! Good job, NYT. I knew you had it in you.

BTW, *this* is what actual OCD is like. And why folks with Actual OCD™️ get... annoyed... when people who like their pens to be arranged a specific way say shit like "I am *so* OCD! teehee!" Signed, someone who doesn't have OCD and also doesn't care about his pen's arrangement.

I would have to go back and count but this is roughly the 90th book I’ve read this year and I figure I’ll knock out a few more before 2024. I’ve mentioned before but my ~secret~ is to set a goal of 1 minute of reading a day. I find it’s very easy to have that one minute turn into 10 or 30 or 60.

Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett I’m nearing the end of my Discworld reread. Only 5 books left. I fully expect to read the last few books crying the whole way through, though not from the books themselves. Fucking embuggerance. 😭 worldcat.org/en/title/651...

How often do you get to live out a tv/movie cliche in real life???

As always, this is a choice to put an almost two-decade old non-scandal story above the very current-and-relevant "GOP is a fucking mess" and "The Supreme Court is actively corrupt".

How I look to Gen Z Except for the beard. I *wish* I could grow something that epic.

How I look to Gen Z.

When I say or think "there but for the grace" when someone does something terrible it isn't "I'm a wolf and only my tremendous strength of will keeps me from wilding out every day!1!1!!1" but instead an acknowledgement that I'm human and I am not always my best self or anything close to it.

What an…interesting take, the day after he is ignominiously rejected for the third time and removed from contention. “im not owned!” says the corncob.
