I've long had the benefit of Brett-as-a-friend service of one-on-one help solving my Mac conundrums. Now your team can have the benefit of his knowledge, inventiveness, and attention to detail — plus a customer-service and documentation partner.

honestly so jealous of any reporter who gets to work on the Louvre theft story.

But also only 75% of rooms in Louvre have cameras????

They changed the text on the web in a way that suggests that they are referring to Route 74, which is still confusing, since it looks to be nowhere near where the couple lives, and also seems to be a pretty minor road rather than a high-speed highway. Oh, well. The dogs are super cute.
Did you mean mpg or mph?

"Fresh Air" and its archives don't get called "a national treasure" often enough. Here, Terry Gross plays for Rob Reiner a 35-year-old clip of Carl — which Rob apparently hasn't heard before — talking to her about watching a rough cut of "When Harry Met Sally"…

If you live near these places, go meet Gary — he is charming, and funny, and friendly, and very nice. And if you don’t live near them, you can travel to one and listen to the audiobook on the way. It’s a perfect length to make for a nice day trip.
Folks, a massive fall Vera tour is on its way!!!! More readings in the winter.

FYI, authors, it’s going to take me longer to edit your 300-page AI-generated book than it did for you to “write” it using AI.

Rhode Island grammar nerds, "Rebel with a Clause" is going to be at JPT in Newport this Tuesday, Aug. 12. The filmmaker and I will be there as well, and we will come bearing a nonmandatory grammar quiz.

I knew @joshgondelman.bsky.social was funny and nice, but seeing him do a live hour of new jokes, as well as running into him on the subway on the way over made me truly *cherish* just how funny and how nice!
Toronto! The show last night was so much fun! Let’s do it again (twice) tonight!
Toronto I'll see you tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday (Saturday) night for three shows at Comedy Bar on Danforth!!!! Come out and enjoy some jokes? Ticket link: comedybar.ca/shows/josh-g...
