I see it's time for everyone to choose their word for the year for 2021.

I'm going with, "Welp."

I feel its inspirational power already.

@exjon I turn around for a hot minute and you're a novelist! Congratulations! I see it was published on my youngest son's 18th birthday, so that means I had to get it.

Etymology Twitter (or whatever), why are these flies piled up on this rock and not flying away? (Have confirmed it's bare rock.) Lots of baby? flies swarming on water around it.

My mom calls everyone "young man" or "young lady," but they may be anywhere from 20 to 72. (She's 73)

I'm at the dry skin stage of life apparently. These puppies are going EVERYWHERE.

@itsonlywords I am so sorry. You are in my prayers.

@SaintRPh The first grandkid names the grandparents; the rest fall in line. It's the reward for being a guinea pig and having to live up to overwhelming expectations.

Friday 13, Part 2.

Well, crap.

I'm listening to a British lecturer pronounce Quixote, and I'm appalled. (The lecture is interesting, the pronunciation grates.)

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

It’s kind of crazy that @oscarmayer taught a whole generation how to spell ‘bologna.’

Request for gift recommendations! My soon-to-be graduate is almost certainly embarking on a nomadic lifestyle (she is a costume student who is looking for a wardrobe job on a touring show). Hit me with your must-haves for the nomadic life.

Folks, this video essay by @landryeayres is SO good not only for its commentary about the sad intellectual evolution of Tucker Carlson but containts some priceless footage of Soviet reformer Boris Yeltsin's visit to an American supermarket.

On this day in 1836, after a thirteen-day siege by an army of 3,000 Mexican troops, the 187 Texas volunteers defending the Alamo, including frontiersman Davy Crockett and colonel Jim Bowie, were killed and the fort was captured.

St. Valentine approves this message.

My range of emotions is just varying levels of fed up.

My son isn't going to watch Groundhog Day with us because, "I saw it last year."

Talk about missing the point!
