An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

In retrospect maybe it was not a good idea to do a 75 minute yoga class right after an hour-long PT session focused on my core/back/legs

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons

It's a given in the music industry that "I've fallen in love!" albums are usually regrettable, and "I've gotten a divorce!" ones often have some of the artist's best work. So question for the group, what are the best "I've fallen in love!" albums?

Some teens told me tonight that I look like Dolly (I absolutely 100% do not in the least), and it was the sweetest thing anyone’s ever told me. She MUST be ok!

Discussing this phenomenon w/ a group of profs. Someone morbidly joked, “& northern profs are fleeing the country.” The next person said…”even if we were all willing & able to abandon this place there are not enough jobs for us globally and the U.S. employs a huge # of international scholars too.”

Definitely was about half a semester for my pals (until a very bad night). I think it’s maybe Big Lebowski influence?
