Bora Chung is one of the best writers in Korean -- inventive, descriptive, and perceptive. Her latest novel of short stories proves that. Here's my review: tbrstack.blogspot.com/2025/12/book...

#Booksky 💙📚👍📘Much more than the novel of two women with the special bonds of twinness and sisterhood that the blurbs lead you to believe. This packs an emotional wallop. tbrstack.blogspot.com/2025/12/book...

#Booksky 💙📚I really wanted to like this book, but I was a mite disappointed in this tale of a #transgender woman trying to find herself in an intrusive world, when she would rather be an anonymous soul in academia. It was a bit overwrought and melodramatic. tbrstack.blogspot.com/2025/10/book...

#politics #trump #charliekirk Maybe it's me, but I am kinda curious why we are receiving so much info about Kirk's shooting -- from official sources spouting unverified factoids to leaked details to the accused's background and supposed motive -- but when Trump was allegedly shot, we heard crickets

#LGM #LFGM For FFS, #LFGM Sometime in early June, I made plans to drive to Medina, Ohio, to attend www.blackcatmedina.com/big-ohio-boo... With the #Mets then playing well, I added a drive to nearby Pittsburgh to see them play the Pirates this past weekend. It was not a good decision.

#Mets #LGM #Baseball My math says Rockies will be officially eliminated the 1st week of August. Around Aug. 5 or so, around the 117th game, the Rockies (21 wins) will be 45 GB the Giants, the final NL playoff team, with 45 games left. The earliest elimination is Aug. 10 by '62 Mets and '18 Orioles

@petitephd.bsky.social FYI. According to my math, the Rockies will be officially out of contention the 1st week of August, assuming NL teams play at a similar pace. Around Aug. 5, around the 117th game, the Rockies (21 wins) will be 45 GB the Giants, the final playoff team, with 45 games to play

In the past week, I visited Lowell Observatory in Arizona -- where Pluto was discovered -- and viewed a star cluster 35,000 light years away. Back home in Kentucky, I attended a speech by Neil deGrasse Tyson, then drove to the Philly area to hear Brian Cox talk. Retirement is fun and educational.

#LGM #Mets The vibes are better than I've seen in 60-plus years of fandom. In the before times, these last two games would have been lost at the first sign of blowing them, and it would have been accepted. Now, we expect the #Mets to shut them down or make a comeback. Yeah, this team is different
