And it also won’t take “hoopoe,” even though:

MFW they won’t take “potoo” as a word.

Insane that this is a debut novel. LOVED IT.
The cover of The Devil Three Times, by Rickey Fayne. Initially, it appears to show a tree, including the roots. Look longer and you will see two faces looking at each other, forming the two sides of the tree trunk (and seemingly made of water).

Will she read the audio book, and if so, in what accent(s)?

No. This take is widespread on Bluesky these days, and it is just plain wrong. See attachment for more.
A sceenshot of text, stating the following. This is wrong. If you don’t know the law, including that pertaining to reductions in force (RIFs), it would be best not to opine on it. If you’re fired, you’re fired.* You may contest the legality of the termination. If you win, you might get relief (such as back pay). But there’s a reason you don’t see a lot of people who were fired for reasons they believe to be unlawful still showing up for work as if nothing happened. That’s because it would be insane to do that. Security would be escorting you out very quickly. There’s also a reason you’re not seeing employment lawyers state opinions like yours all over Bluesky. *This statement applies to situations in which a supervisor, manager, HR, or similar tells you that you’re fired. Your co-worker can’t fire you, nor can someone off the street. If someone from DOGE says you’re fired, the question then is whether you have in fact been fired (not whether that firing was “unlawful,” such that under your theory, you can just pretend it didn’t happen like a modern-day Hiroo Onoda). But I haven’t seen anything yet suggesting that this is the scenario with the USAID terminations.

NO. I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. I KEEP SEEING THIS WRONG OPINION STATED WITH SUCH CONFIDENCE, AND SO PERVASIVELY. GODDAMN PEOPLE. The attached picture explains why I am so peeved.

The New Yorker insists on describing a subject’s father before their mother, even when a mother’s influence is clearly more important…. Example one million….This issue has bothered me for years, but today’s example really takes the cake.
Dad was a stonemason > Mom was pregnant 18 times?!?
Screenshot of an article with the following text. Sanger was born Margaret Louise Higgins, in 1879, in Corning, New York, the sixth of eleven children. Her parents were Irish immigrants, and the family never had much money. Her father, Michael, was a stonemason. Her mother, Anne, suffered from tuberculosis, but managed to survive not only those eleven childbirths but seven other pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, before she died at fifty. When Margaret was just eight, she assisted for the first time at one of her mother’s deliveries, Gorton tells us, while Michael stood by “offering his wife a flask of whiskey.” The Comstock Act and the spirit of repression that gave rise to it meant that such an experience might have no purchase outside the home—no reality, almost. A child could see her mother give birth, in whatever paroxysms of pain or distress, clean up afterward, and then go out into a world where no one was supposed to depict or discuss things like that. (Beginning in the nineteen-thirties, the Hays Code, which governed what could be shown in the movies, explicitly forbade any representation of childbirth, “in fact or in silhouette.”) That cognitive dissonance would, in time, radicalize Sanger.

LOLLLLL he got me.
It might sound like I really disliked Megalopolis. I can’t say it’s my favorite Coppola film (Marie Antoinette), but it’s not without its positive qualities. It has those. But, as with Megalon, the good stuff is hiding in a dead body. So, here’s me as both Cesar Catilina and Mayor Cicero, championing the beautiful and the filthy, in the form of a list of things I liked and disliked about Megalopolis.
