Ok, @nickharkaway.com, silly question. I’m reading Absolute Friends and there’s a passage mentioning “soccer fields.” Was this changed from “football” for the American printing? Page 145 in my edition. Kate’s dad is talking to Ted about the house they’re going to buy.

@philplait.bsky.social This is an outstanding book. Informative, interesting, and filled with nerdy humor. I’m going to start saying “equinoctes” whenever they come up in conversation.

I’m betting on the Pacers to win Game 7 tonight because if a Republican-led US government is starting wars over spurious claims that Muslim countries are developing WMD programs, Haliburton is probably about to get a big win

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

It’s going to be a tough transition. We all remember what it was like the last time he was running things. But personally, I’m willing to give Tommy DeVito the benefit of the doubt.
