I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

A person in a duck mascot costume bites Coach Tsukasa's head. Inori, panicked, holds a chair over her head pro wrestler-style, ready to swing it down on the duck to protect her coach. Another adult holds her back.

Based on screenshot context clues, it was an episode of Mushoku Tensei, tho I couldn't tell you which episode invoked it. Any of them probably :'D

The manga is on the Viz App and I'm debating whether I should read it instead, just given the time commitment 😅

"Based on an ongoing manga that's already up to 27 volumes" is a HARD sell for me, but "supernatural Taisho-era time-travel isekai with a spunky female protag" hits enough of my favorite genre buttons for me to give it a chance.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

James is not kidding. Someone on Twitter put together a clip compilation and Kenshiro's actor sounds like someone doing a parody of bad old anime dubs. I am SPEECHLESS. I am DUMBFOUNDED.

He can't even do the fight noises right!

Also no one can pronounce "Hokuto."

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so l will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

OP I hope you know that this changed my life and nearly eliminated my guilt over enjoying things.
And I've delighted almost everyone I know with the phrase, leading a few of them to use it back to me.
Anyway just letting you know about this little sparkle of wonder. For morale.

We're trying a new thing in the household by meal prepping a bunch of things on Sunday and then doing bento lunches each day so we can eat healthier. I went to Daiso for some boxes and found this absolute gem.

I'm not a music expert at all, but I mostly liked it. The dance & jazz numbers are a lot of fun. The ballads are meh, esp in act 1, but pick up in act 2 as things collapse 😅 Nothing fully blew me away but I wasn't bored & did put the music on at work the next day. So, uneven but worth your time imo.

Howland. I didn't know Florence had done a Gatsby musical, that sounds rad.

I liked it! The music is like 50/50 good bops and so-so ballads, but the costuming is great, and I think it expands the characters in sympathetic ways without completely sanding off their edges or losing sight of the story's broader themes. Uneven, but worth a watch imo.
