The 1912 article gets rolled out a lot but it’s my solemn duty as a historian to remind folks it’s *worse* than that

Eunice Foote published greenhouse gas studies in EIGHTEEN-FUCKING-FIFTY-SIX (of course, as a woman she couldn’t read her OWN paper at scientific conferences - god FORBID 🙄)

The Spelling Bee won't take capacitive, cavatappi, or cavitate. Crimes, I tell you. Crimes.

In 2022, the Spelling Bee screwed me out of a Queen Bee by including the word "phablet". Now in 2025, they no longer take the word. I mean, sure, that's the better state of being -- phablet is not a cromulent word -- but I feel I've been cheated twice.

Huh. I guess based on the penultimate episode of Andor, it's officially canon that "Deathstar" is one "single word".

Idk who needs to hear this, but the 1993 production of Cabaret is ridiculously good and couldn't be more timely. Sam Mendes directs, Alan Cumming rules the stage as the sexy Emcee, and Jane Horrocks as Sally puts both Liza Minnelli and Dame Judi Dench to shame. Go watch it now.

Why does the Spelling Bee not accept "muriatic"? It's a perfectly cromulent word.
