Extremely niche tweet but I just heard Don Bluth's voice for the first time and it shocked me how much he sounds like Frank Oz.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

Being a copy editor is all fun and games until you get to nearly the end of a manuscript in Google Docs and suddenly realise that some of the apostrophes/inverted commas throughout the entire thing have been smart and some haven't...and "find/replace" isn't working.

Too many people have resigned themselves to not reading because they fear they no longer have the focus for it. You only need to limit your screen time for a few days to begin feeling the effects on your brain. I promise you, you are capable of reading books again.

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

I'm sorry but after living in the UK for the better part of a decade, American spellings just look weird and wrong, and when I edit American writing for work, I always have to double and triple check that that's actually how they spell a word and I'm not just losing my mind.

Funny how the Tony for Best Musical winner of 2004 now feels so dated and tame, while the one that should have won is more relevant, resonant, and popular than ever. 💅
