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.

my most curmudgeonly opinion is that the OG chalky Tums are far superior to any "fruit-flavored" antacid tablets. Today's rant brought to you by the slice of pepperoni pizza I ate at 9:30 last night

1) This is basically anecdata
2) All the photos make a strong case for having a dog-friendly city
3) I read this story hearing @darthbluesky.bsky.social yelling INNOCENT in my head

Wall Street Journal: “America’s Most Dog-Friendly City Has Had Enough: In San Francisco, pets put their paws on cafe counters, roam sports bars and lick gym-goers during sit-ups.” Featuring a photo of a dog cheerfully rolling in the grass and raising its paws in counter-argument.

If you’re an LGBTQ+ federal employee who’s taken steps to hide your identity by removing Pride flags or pics of your partner, or other measures, out of fear of retribution, I’d love to talk.

And he has the unmitigated gall to say that he hopes fans come to the game and think it was worth it. This is my beef with the new stadium: He gets even richer and it costs way more to go to a Browns game -- until December, when everyone dumps tickets because they're so awful.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?”

Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’”

Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

this is a really good comparison I think! two shows that had to find a new way to make popular well-trod stories feel fresh and interesting. (Really comes down to good writing and acting at the end of the day imo)
