oh well that clears it all up

& I'm sorry you weren't AHAG (assigned husband at google) it's hard to be an LLM spinster :(((

The wildest part of this is, it circles right back around to me having a husband!!! I should get in touch with Lee Ostertag and make sure he knows we are [double checks] married and have been for the past six years. And also ND just to say Sorry Bout The Mix Up But I'm The Spouse Now

Mixing romcom with fairy tale in only the way @trungles.com can, their latest book ANGELICA AND THE BEAR PRINCE is exquisite and you can check out my interview with Trung here: comicon.com/2025/10/06/p...

and scene

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

The thing is. Her

Emma, the most beautiful and important cat in the whole world. She is a very fluffy brown/black/grey tabby. She seems large but actually she is small. She is between a lilac ottoman and a set of linen drapes. She is backlit by sunlight, which offsets her very very green eyes.

Rewatched Challengers and during the final tiebreak scene when Art serves, felt compelled to yell NOW WE'RE COOKING WITH PUSSY

oh wow you'll never guess who has FINALLY broken into the bot-generated "book marketing" scam arena

this is a screenshot of part of a bot-generated spam / scam email campaign, similar to hundreds of others I have gotten in the past month. The text is only a fragment and what you can see is part of the generic "I came across your book on Amazon, and I want to help you market it" pap. The final line reads "I specialize in creating cinematic book trailers". The sender name is... Veronica Roth.
