True crime thoughts: it’s weird to me that police often look at the position of the driver’s seat of a car and say, “She couldn’t have been driving this car. The seat is too far back.” I’m 5’2”and drive with my seat nearly all the way back. When I inevitably vanish, the police will be stumped.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social I annoyed my wife this morning while watching “Scariest House in America” — there’s a home in St Louis (Bissell Mansion?) and I was compelled to tell her everything I’ve learned about the city from your writing.

For NO reason today, thinking about the meme that says “100% of the people who confuse correlation and causation are going to die.”

Sometimes I think about a man I worked with 13+ years ago on a single project that didn’t go well. In a moment of frustration he exclaimed, “This whole thing is in the fucker.” He probably meant “in the shitter”? Either way, he’s a legend. Also, we all live in the fucker now.
