I got to play Jeopardy! 4x and led at the the end of Double every time. PhD in Drama and Theatre. Sometime runner. Looked mad in the background of Bar Rescue.

This is Ami Inamura. She’s is a Japanese sportscaster, television personality, and model. She threw the most beautiful ceremonial first pitch I’ve ever seen and it even clocked at 64 MPH. Completely fool the batter.

Legit serious when I say this will be the best thing you’ll see today.

Alas, I can only afford paperbacks

Oh my top favorite novels? Probably the 5 hardest ones

@tedjsouttakes @second_sailing Maybe that’s why he thinks history has ended, because he can’t count.

Oh, that’s not what you’re saying

William Stoner may have stayed an agriculture major if only Prof Sloane had badgered him about what this section of Anna Karenina meant instead Shakespeare’s Sonnet 73.

[lily ♱⃓ @uponlilypads]

Rereading Anna Karenina is fun until you get to the part where Levin talks about agriculture for 100 fucking pages

The classic YA tropes of generational sins, gaining and losing wealth over a lifetime, and wrestling with what we may do (and what such choices preclude us from).

[Sunk Cost Pharisee @Liamjsm]

East of Eden is very enjoyable, but admirable? No. It's YA

[Bryan @B_BryanWh]

@HootenWilson A lot of love for Cather on here lately! Any recs in particular? I was turned off from her after a freshman lit class where we read O Pioneers!, but I admit, I felt a bit like a fraud in that class and may have been trying too hard.

[Bryan @B_BryanWh]

Here’s what I finished in May. Stoner is easily in my top ten now, the Labatut is likely in my top twenty or so. The Dostoevsky reminded me of being young and dumb(er) in love. The Ingalls was fun. The Father and The Mother and Wifedom are inventive and very worthwhile.

@cardraider44 @CardPurchaser You never go broke selling for a profit. He seems to be on an upward trajectory this season, but hard to say 🤷‍♂️

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

Bro your refusal of style is itself a stylistic choice. The rejection of literariness is a literary strategy lol. Your assertion of authenticity is a rhetorical gesture lmao

Hassett: "People are spending more on gas, but they're also spending more on everything else -- not just groceries, but restaurants and so on. I think that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future."

@AtlasXThugged @goodreads This is it for me too for May. Certainly it is in my top ten across my life now.

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

[Bryan @B_BryanWh]

@megievalist I think you may be referencing I post I also saw today that was complaining how much Marx this person had to read as an undergrad and gave snips of a syllabus without a course title, and I was like, well, what class were you taking? Take what you want? Read what you want?

[Bryan @B_BryanWh]

@bookbeduion @CassieMoriarty_ A great selection, but I was going to say Butter also just because I keep picking it up in bookstores but not getting it. (It was also the first book I zoomed in on, so that affects it too, probably).

[Bryan @B_BryanWh]

@teacherinRI @BookswithNimesh @AuthorGFAllen Interesting take! I really liked the memoir, and I also listened to the audiobook, but I thought the actor (whom I normally like a lot and have been a fan of for years) sounded tremendously disinterested, and I wondered if it would put people off of the book.
