Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

I'm still good friends with three people from high school.

Friendly in a more sporadic and/or distant way with various others.
Much of my graduating class is in touch to some extent online (mostly via FB; we are old).

Petty Pam Bondi question: What IS that accent she has? It's so distinctive but I can't place where I've heard it before.

The word ‘stan’ comes from the Eminem song "Stan," which is about one of his obsessed fans.
What if Eminem named the fan ‘Dennis’?
We could be saying, “I dennis Beyonce.”

I retained more Spanish vocab from high school than I realized.
Also proud of myself that I recognized both Gaga and Ricky Martin immediately (even if I had to come here to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating).
Great show!

Saw Billy Gibbons at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, DE last night. I'm not particularly a ZZ Top fan but it turned out to be a fun show!
Some ZZ Top songs, some solo stuff, + one Hendrix cover (Foxy Lady, complete w/amusing tale about opening for/meeting Jimi back in the day). 👍

Hey @mt-anderson.bsky.social, glad you got rescheduled on @velshi.com! Great discussion that really did make me want to reread Brave New World.
(Also kudos on working in the term "edgelord," which made both me and your fellow panelist smile!)
