@FrankConniff Happy birthday (or belated birthday) to one of my three favorite comedians ever (Mary Jo Pehl and Bill Corbett are the other two)!

@CerebroCast @peppard_anna @meakoopa @alex_abads @annalisebissa Son, if it’s five episodes — I. E. 105 through 109 — why is it only four characters?

@dreamoforgonon @CerebroCast Just read the essay, son (it’s 9am in Tuscany; I didn’t read it in the middle of the night). It’s excellent — expresses very well how much the material has always meant to you. As your brother once said to me “you know, Connor REALLY loves the X-men.” As ever, Love, Dad.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@BillCorbett Sorry for your loss.

@sookuhtawn @ijbailey Gee, I’d have said that John Quincy Adams was pretty much squarely on the right side on this issue for an affluent white man of his generation. Have I missed something? I’ve read only one (well-regarded) biography of him, but I’ve read a lot about his time in the House.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@ijbailey Oh dear. Pretty sure that if someone thinks people became racist because of President Obama (or you), that means he just never noticed that he personally had always been a big old racist until his reaction to Barack Obama’s (or your) existence brought that fact to his attention.

@BrevUnleashed @JoshAllenQB Kyle Brandt said the same thing yesterday on Good Morning Football. He literally name dropped the X-Men.

Just spent ten days in Venice for the Biennale. Here I am with a giant blue panda by French sculptor Richard Orlinski. He and his 8 colorful giant animal companions (2 bears, 3 gorillas, a lion, a horse, and a shark) will be here till the last week of November.

@jayhandlin Jay! How nice to hear from you. Hi from both of us, and hope you and yours are all well!

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

Jessica and me at dinner tonight on our 37th anniversary; I do all the aging for both of us!

@CerebroCast @meakoopa Gogarty is “Stately Plump Buck Mulligan” in Ulysses. He was not amused by his depiction in the book.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@dreamoforgonon And Bill Russell; that’s a rough one for me.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

Connor’s brother and sister hav already re-tweeted this, so I’ll pile on: congratulations on this perceptive article about your podcast, Son. As always, I am eternally proud of my kids.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@CerebroCast Kids today.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@Jordanbloked @CerebroCast @dreamoforgonon Thank you for your kind words, Jordan; that’s very nice of you. You did a very good job on his pod, and I’m glad you got to do a bonkers character after missing out on Mystique and Selene.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@CerebroCast Good clarification, Son.

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@ItsKittyKosmos Well, Ash, you know Jess and I have a 34 year-old of our own, and Disneyland is all the way out in California, but we might be able to add you in to a trip to Disneyworld or Universal some year . . .

[James Goldsmith @JamesGoldsmith9]

@PopCulturPriest @CerebroCast Gee, Jim, that must have been such a scary day for you and your family. I’m sorry about that, but I’m glad to hear that it all worked out, and that your dad’s thoughtful comic book purchase helped you. Anyway, I really liked your article. Best wishes to you and your family!
