Unusually busy day on the timeline for TX bagel talk bsky.app/profile/jess...

Recent convert to the new local (not a franchise) bagel shop's garlic bagel (toasted) with jalapeno-cheddar cream cheese.

(Harper's Bagels, 16949 N Eldridge Pkwy, Tomball TX, 346.808.5136. Get there quickly--once they sell out of bagels, they're done for the day)

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

I used to think the Viking calendar-makers were badass, what with their four weeks between 14 Oct & 13 Nov being called "Slaughter Month."

Ha ha ha, it is to laugh.

I give you the ancient Persians' calendar:

Calendar:

October-November is Vrkazana, "Wolf Killing Month"
November-December is Aciyadiya, "Month of the Worship of the Fire"
December-January is Anamaka, "Month of the Nameless God"
January-February is Owayauva, "Month of the Terrible One"

“She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her.”
