Dolly Parton posted that video saying she was okay and she opened it with “Today’s October the 8th” and I thought she filmed it yesterday.

Title Tuesday strikes me again!

Every year, Title Tuesday completely disorients my week. 🤣

All day, I’ve been operating all day as if it was Thursday.

I even saw an event I was interested in listed as happening on Wednesday, October 8th and I said to myself “oh, that was last night. I must have missed it.”

A dangerous drug trend called “bluetoothing,” in which people inject themselves with the blood of other drug users to get a cheap high, is contributing to spikes in HIV rates in infection hot spots around the world.

‘Bluetoothing’: Blood-Sharing Drug Trend Fuels Alarming Global H.I.V. Surge

The practice, in which users inject the blood of already intoxicated individuals, has fueled one of the fastest-growing H.I.V. epidemics in the Pacific and grown widespread in South Africa.

Someone I was messaging with today copy and pasted our chat into our conversation and asked for assistance with a response and then quickly unsent it.

It then hit me they were using ChatGPT to talk to me and forgot what window they were in. 😕

Honestly deserved. It’s a really good album. I’ve had “Jealous Type” on repeat since it came out hit and it might actually be my favorite song of 2025.

Gotta love a boycott where you didn’t get any of what you very publicly demanded and immediately went back to business as usual.

Dear @willwashington.bsky.social,

I got a question for you! On AEW Unrestricted, in the lead up to All Out, you said that Ricochet and The Gates of Agony were "IN DEMAND".

....dude, was that on purpose?! 👀

Aww man. He deleted it.

Honestly, it’s such an easy honest mistake that it surprises me that’s the first time I’ve been mistakenly tagged for the Washington Post.

I am a Washington that posts but I am not the Washington Post.

I've always been impressed with @willwashington.bsky.social for his ability to retain information. Especially now he must have to juggle an awful lot.

Do you do anything in particular to keep your mind sharp, or to avoid information overload?

Watching / listening to the #AEWUnrestricted with Thekla. She went from unknown to me to being one of overall favorites in #AEW. She’s awesome. Fun and informative interview with @willwashington.bsky.social and @refaubrey.bsky.social.

It's happening right now!

On AEW Unrestricted, Thekla talked about being in Austria, watching Double or Nothing with her friends.

During that first year of AEW, she made a promise. One day, she was going to work there, and be on TV.

6 years later... Here she is fulfilling that very same dream! ❤️🕷️

Mr Stephen Pike @mrstephenpike.bsky.social · Sep 5

As the years go by you're going to see wrestlers coming up whose dream was to be in AEW

I personally believe any day other than today is “the other day” but I’m apparently using it too loosely.

My daughter says it specifically refers to a period between 2-7 days. It cannot include yesterday and beyond 7 falls into “last week” territory.
