BTW, new people, these fools are Fusilli (I know, I know, best puli name ever) and Celosa. They sometimes stop by, mainly to ask for food, but sometimes to accept adoration.

Apparently the pumpkin pudding my husband made is quite good.
I'm still making apple pie, and my brother is making the NYT cranberry curd tart.
We may be a little more dessert focused than everything else but I'm sure it'll work out.

Seems to me there are a lot of professionals out there who vote and aren't particularly fond of the idea that they are supposedly no longer professionals.

I muted the word "Nuzzi" here, which I do not regret, but I almost missed this epic piece of writing, which I'm glad I found otherwise, because it's hilarious.

My brother worked in downtown Houston in 2001, and he walked past the shredding trucks in front of Arthur Anderson's building, not knowing that federal crimes were being committed therein.
This feels similar. Hopefully with similar results.

It has come from a lot of people, but @grahamdalorian.bsky.social and I are sometimes told that our kiddo is so lucky to have us as parents. We disagree vehemently because we won the kid lottery, but it's super nice to hear.

Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

I loved a thread a few years ago that took off from the Prey conceit of the Predator franchise.
I’d love to see half of those movies get made so long as they took the same attention as Prey did.

Even with the accommodations, I'm still making an apple pie. And my pie crust lives and dies by gluten.
It's essentially the crust from The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffery Steingarten. It's a 20 step detailed instruction on pie crust. The key is not overworking it.

This is our first thanksgiving with a family member having a celiac diagnosis. I'm so impressed with my family's bending over backwards to accommodate on this usually gluten heavy holiday.
Our stricken family member was a gluten lover pre-diagnosis, so she's taking it a bit rough.

TIL, LinkedIn has a 1200 character limit for comments, and I BLEW past that when someone asked a Star Wars question.
And now I have to recreate because LinkedIn automatically refreshed, and I lost a whole explainer on TIE fighter innovation between ANH and TROS.
