I left Twitter two years ago and have been using Bluesky as my main social media account since summer 2023

I also saw Hamilton at the Public
@natanlast.bsky.social I think I might have seen you yesterday evening coming out of a subway station in the Village? But it was raining and you (or they) had headphones on and I wasn't sure if it was you, and thought maybe you were just on my brain because of your book coming out...

Whoa, in a couple of weeks Jeopardy is going to have its *third* member of the crossword community this season - meanwhile, I've been trying for several years and only once have I even been invited to take the follow-up Zoom test...

Here is how long it has been since I last went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: Danny Cooksey of Diff'rent Strokes was in it.

I've read two of these (What We Can Know and Buckeye) and recently started a third (Katabasis). But I wish I could read everything! Give me all the books.

This reminds me of when Matt Lauer pronounced the song title "S'Wonderful" as "ess wonderful."

I clicked on this video because I love this production of Merrily We Roll Along, and something so bad happens in the first ten seconds that I am now forming a commission to investigate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAlV...

I learned the term NIPPLE CONFUSION from a crossword puzzle a few days ago and, no joke, I wondered if it had something to do with hetero men having trouble successfully pleasing a woman in the way she wants.

It doesn't.

I watched the first episode of The American Revolution and I want to read more about the Loyalists! History is filled with dissenters. There were Americans who opposed the Revolution, and then later - from the other direction - there were the Antifederalists who opposed the Constitution.

It's one of those mornings when CBS Sunday Morning has stories from all three of its gay male correspondents: Jonathan Vigliotti, Seth Doane, and Mo Rocca. One reason I enjoy watching this show.

(I'm pretty sure those are the only ones?)
