I feel ya.

I see peers who have spent almost twice as many Thanksgivings with their parents as I had. I wish I had that later time in adulthood, too.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I use em dashes — a lot. If you’re using short sentences instead — which is better than a slew of commas — I am OK with that. But em dashes was a big thing I took from journalism school — from the Elements of Style and beyond.

If this is about Bluesky reaction, then I think that answers the question. I'm sure there's more volatility either way on X.

You have built a strong, important business that many value. I bet if you told your audience that you needed to take a break for x period of time, they would understand. Re-schedule out your proven evergreen content in a best of series for that period. And maybe even offer a pause deal for subs.

With Gomez already nursing an injury and Konate's history the guy who's fine as the 5th may be needed as the 3rd.

Probably closer to £150 and I'm not ecstatic about the figure. I'm guessing LFC wouldn't consider sending Ekitike in a swap, but I saw some pundits floating Elliott and/or Nunez as possibilities. I might consider that.
