My older daughter regularly wins at family games of Clue. I find this disconcerting because I have 20 years of experience investigating violent felonies whereas she is 11.

@PeterMoskos I've always supported you, Moskos, even with the pigeon stuff.

@1clear_sky Some authors can make them work. I don't know that I'm one of them.

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

@DawsonWords Much appreciated, James!

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

@jasonallison76 You and your bourgeois east coast ways. I stand with the common man.

My 16-year-old daughter just texted me "Hey dad, I bought you a calzone from Costco" and it is already one of my favorite messages of all time.

@kmacx502 We have a anti-microwaving-fish warning sign on the office microwave to avoid unpleasant incidents exactly like this.

If you at any point in your life had small children, eventually a photo like this will surface of you. Best thing to do is remain calm, try to get out in front of the story, and control the narrative.

@Mrdavemad I'll run that one by her.

Was at the airport with my wife and we got on the shuttle for our terminal. "I always wanted to kiss a pretty lady on a train," I said before I planted one on her. "On a tram," she immediately corrected me because that is marriage.

Can’t help but feel like I saw the future tonight. BACKROOMS isn’t a perfect film, but it is an incredibly effective and unsettling debut—from a 19 year old director! Between Mandalorian tanking in its second week and the success of Kane Parsons and Curry Barker, along with Jane Schoenbrun, the Phillippou brothers, Zac Creggar, Aleshea Harris, Damien McCarthy, and older vets like Ryan Coogler and Nia Dacosta, it feels like we’re on the verge of a big shift in movies. A new New Hollywood.

I was the oldest guy in my 10 pm showing tonight. The place was packed. The kids were silent. Their phones were dark. Every generation wants to tell their own stories. Let them.

Served a search warrant recently and just before we hit the door, I wanted to say "All right now, let's do some good!" like Kevin Costner does in The Untouchables right before their bootlegger raid, but I figured I'd just get weird looks.

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

@DawsonWords Thanks man!

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

I drank a Mt. Dew in the shower at 4 AM this morning if you're wondering how things are going over here.

@DougBrunt Way to truck, Doug!

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

Law enforcement has been a good fit for me. But every now and again, I wonder what it would have been like if I'd chosen a different career path...

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

Available Wi-Fi in the coffee shop I was writing in. Tell me what I can do, gentle lady, to finally allow your wandering spirit to rest.

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

I'm annoyed someone fraudulently used my credit card number because I have to get a new card now & because I don't like crime. But I'm moderately amused that the culprit tried to order $237.66 worth of catered fast-food chicken. I'm picturing a room of disappointed stoners.

@sleepyinIl Maybe. But my waist size certainly has expanded since '91. I can come to no other conclusion than this suit, although commercially available in a major department store, was somehow woven by magic elves.

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

Went to a wedding this weekend & had a ball. Wore my high school graduation suit my parents bought me in 1991. I've mentioned this suit before, and some have raised doubts that it still fits so here's a pic. Look, people, I don't pretend to understand it any more than you do.

[Adam Plantinga @AdamPlantinga]

@storage_joe Yeah, and underneath my suit I wore my old Spuds McKenzie T-shirt.
