Court Jester is dead. Long live Court Jester.
Okay, thank you, counter argument:
Why are we wading through the muck? None of this is mandatory and, as AMUSING OURSELVES TO DEATH noted presciently decades ago, when has ever learning just ONE MORE DETAIL about a complicated situation allowed us to change it?

He is right, and, you can’t quit because your ppl need you.
You actually help keep us sane as we wade through all this muck. For real. We need you. You bring interesting, fun, smart calm with just the perfect amount of snark to let us know we aren’t alone. Please don’t leave us. 💕

Stacking it atop ENSHITTIFICATION last month is perhaps not the best way to see social media through an ingenue’s eyes.
More than reasonable.
But what I’m reading right now - well, not right now, but again in a few minutes - is hitting just when I’m reminded that I’m currently creating free content for billionaires and being strip-mined for advertisers. I don’t have to like him; I just have to consider my choices.

Oh, god.
You are correct.

I've been thinking about this for a bit. The venn diagram of pie crust making skills and homemade pasta making skills has a lot of overlap.

This is why I work with a speaker's bureau and have a publicist. The spammers are not going to bother to go through these channels, but legit folks (book festivals, libraries, etc) will. I realize this is a privilege not every author has, nevertheless I am glad to have them vet for me.
As a librarian, this makes me very sad. We love inviting authors to our annual community read, but it's become impossible to get in touch with authors thanks to all the spam/scams out there.

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.
Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

Consort, three days ago: I feel like baking a pie. I have never done this before. Should I buy premade crusts?
Me: You can, but maybe try making your own. It’s a little fussy, but a few abortive tries will teach you so much.
Today, I awoke to this.
He…does not need my input.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:
