I could get down at The ‘Bees

I’m gonna be up around Detroit/Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area all weekend. Anybody have any restaurant recommendations?

I’ll have to check it out!

That’s just A-J too. Brutal

I said what I said

CoMC is absolutely worth it imo. Probably my favorite fiction book of all time

If I had to walk 1% of 66 hours it would die

5 longest audiobooks that I’ve listened to:

The Power Broker by Robert Caro (66:07)
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (62:56)
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas (50:04)
The Stand by Stephen King (47:47)
Mark Twain by Ron Chernow (44:35)*

*Also finished this month #booksky

Finished the longest audiobook I’ve ever listened to today. 66 hours and 7 minutes. An absolute unit of a book #booksky

Steven Ortlieb Steven Ortlieb has 1,137 books on Goodreads, and is currently reading Mark Twain by Ron Chernow and Fantasyland: True Tales from America's Most Compulsiv...

While I’m over here yapping about books, I need more friends on Goodreads so that I can lurk and steal book recommendations #Booksky

Just found the NY Times’ top 100 books of the 21st century list. I’ve read 11 of them but whole heartedly disagreed with the order in which those were ranked #Booksky

……anything the authorities can pinpoint yet

I’ll always remember being at the first annual Doug’s Opening Day Pizza Bake and Charity Hike to Benefit Victims of @psr1973.bsky.social.

You have to hike 11.67 miles to get to it but the pizza is almost worth it

Instagram just reminded me of an all-time quote from @joeposnanski.com in his yearly Holiday Draft:

“I love that in a draft literally just labeled as ‘Holiday Villains’, we’ve had ‘communism’, ‘the concept of time’, and ‘the sun’ have all made an appearance. And ‘John Wilkes Booth’!”

@mollyknight.bsky.social I literally was stopped dead in my tracks at work with your first pick in the @joeposnanski.com Holiday Draft. Absolutely incredible

@profanity.accountant I guess I’m curious

Well that fucken sucked #LGRW

Danielson has been robbed a couple times tonight. One of them has to go in eventually, right? #LGRW

If you see a dude looking drunk and confused, come say hey #LGRW

Hockeytown, I am inside you #LGRW

My boy got food poisoning so I have an extra ticket to @wingedwheelpodcast.com night at the LCA tonight if anyone needs one #LGRW

Goddamn, what a Moose rip #LGRW

Every year a local brewery teams with a local candy company for a holiday flavor. Every year they knock it out of the park. This year is no different

I liked it. Meltzer and Mensch have done 4 of them I believe, all about different assassination plots on different presidents that were ultimately foiled (Washington, Lincoln, FDR, and now Kennedy)

They’re always really well researched and easy to read, but I like Meltzer’s writing in general
