Damn. Pam Bondi’s DOJ redacted some of my jigsaw puzzle.

Did a double take, thinking I’d recognized a picture of my car (the Mini, not the Musk trucks).
I’ve started waving to all the other Mini owners while driving around our town. We’re a friendly bunch!

My wife guessed correctly.

This was the part that to me was the worst. Not because DT is a %#^@ moron; not because said moron is running the country; but because this “math” was soundly mocked when he first gave it and he STILL repeats it. Doesn’t Susie Wiles pull this moron aside and say, “Mebbe don’t say that anymore”?
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Nearly done with this volume I bought over 35 years ago.

If he’d actually flipped it, his thumb would have fallen off.
(That’s why he’s been wearing a Band-aid lately.)
Embarrassing: President Trump did the coin toss for the Army/Navy football game today.

I can tell Trump never played a sport in his life. It didn't even flip 😂😂

As a composition professor, I always wrote the in-class essay with my students. For creative classes, I treated myself like a participant in workshops (very humbling when my story was under review!). As advisor of high school lit mag, I did all the writing prompts with students.
Creative writing teachers: Do you ever do the exercises you offer in class? I’m thinking about doing this as a way to try them out and also to be in tune with what the students are working with.

Researching agents for my (nearly) completed manuscript. So many have the caution that someone is impersonating them via email.
When did literary agents become the latest Nigerian princes?

My brother’s friend lived with his grandmother who would always pronounce the phrase “sevenabitch.” (If you’d rather: seven-a-bitch)
We still say it that way.

Anyone else run into this phrasing?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I always pause to watch a snow-romping dog.
Hi, instead of watching the (sadly!) AI-generated dog adoption video OR continuing to post about/debate about it, I offer a timeline cleanse of my dog romping through the snow! 100% real! She's wearing a jacket! She's losing her mind!

High school drama class 1977, and we had copies of “The Real Inspector Hound.” I likely got one out of every five jokes, but I loved that play!
Goodbye to the master.

Has anyone come across this word elsewhere—adverbial form of “friendly”?
From The Travels of William Bartram, originally from 1791, reproduced in a later edition from 1928.
