I mean, you could make the case that Christina is the love of her life but you know the dingdongs on Love Is Blind wouldn't believe that anyway.

The greatest sin Grey's Anatomy ever committed was introducing "my person" into the dating show lexicon. Although do people remember that Christina is Meredith's person and not Derek or any romantic partner?

I have to apologize bc I said Tony was the only two-time American Survivor winner and I know he wasn't even the first! Sandra is a queen and I deserve a public flogging.

They should have an Emmy category for Best Talk Show Guest and all of the nominees are Timothy Olyphant and then the winner is Timothy Olyphant.

My family members (not football fans) love how I yell this every time he runs the ball. Jk they roll their eyes and ignore me.

Why does the music on Hard Knocks make me feel like I could run through a brick wall? It goes so hard. Go Bills!

Very little makes me feel older than when people are like "Check out my vintage haul" and it's all items that I owned or used as an actual adult.

Remembered JournalCon this morning and I never attended, but boy was it fun afterwards, trying to read between the lines of everyone's Con entries to figure out what went down. Anyway, what academic is working on that OLJ retrospective culture study?

The greatest thing about the new Alien TV show isn't the show itself (it's fine so far) but the fact that Timothy Olyphant is on a publicity tour. Never fails to delight.

Getting a bonded pair of cats has been great and I love their brotherly closeness BUUUT sometimes I walk in a room and they clearly have their own thing going on and they just look at me like "Did you need something?" And I'm like sorry and back out IN MY OWN HOME and they are CATS.

I don't know the utility of any of these abilities, but I enjoy them.

One nice thing about having a neurodivergent child is that when I ask about a sample in a song, he immediately knows the origin (and can usually name 5-10 other songs that use the sample). He can also usually tell me if the sample was pitched or sped up. And the time signature of any song we hear.

Over the years, I have tried to be less prescriptive about grammar and usage but if I hear someone say "disingenuine" one more time, I swear to God. IT IS NOT A WORD. You mean disingenuous.

Realized while listening to "Nasty" this morning that the artist's full name is Janet (not baby) Prophecy Control, but it's Miss Jackson if you're nasty. I wonder if that's a family name or?

Planned a fun lil weekend getaway for my family and I just know my kids are going to hate it and complain the entire time. Trying to decide if it will annoy them more if I act like Mary Sunshine and turn those frowns around or out-mope them. Decisions.

One of my fave things in life is when you are into a song but somehow it falls off your internal playlist and then years later, you hear it and remember how much you love it, like a long-lost friend. Anyway, "Suzanne" by Weezer was on this season of "The Bear" and I was fucking delighted.

Also my dad was the king of drawing you a map before you went on a trip, including landmarks like "big red barn, turn right". First time we drove to Myrtle Beach with kids (2011), he drew one and mailed it to me so I could take the route that avoided driving through DC. Miss him.

As a kid, I once drew a map of my town from memory for fun. I knew it from riding my bike everywhere. I think I could still draw a pretty decent version and I haven't lived there for 30 years.

Is this like that thing where you post the phrase your friends know you would NEVER say so we know you are being held somewhere against your will?

Yeah my husband knew the name Mike White but didn't know he ever played Survivor. We have VERY different media diets.

If one of my 1st semester writing students could correctly use an em-dash, I would be impressed. Later in the semester, I have enough of their writing samples to know if it's likely or not. What is harder is PROVING they used AI when I know they did. Trying some new strategies this semester.

Jeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · Jun 1

Working with a student on her story, I recommend using an em-dash. She says she can't, because professors will think she's using AI. She says that's a tell now. Is it? Is the hopeless race to outsmart AI causing us to lose bits of language and punctuation?

Did she know Mike White from Survivor? Or Amazing Race? Or one of his acting/directing gigs?
