@IanRunkle @ConceptualJames "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
-C.S. Lewis

@TrooperBob_SC "Helene, Helene, Helene, Helene,
Disaster struck with floods in Tennessee
Helene, Helene, Helene, Helene,
As always, Dolly shows us who to be

Though some folks still look at you strange
When you warn them of climate change,
This flooding is the worst we've ever seen..."

I'm more accustomed to writing speeches for others than giving them myself, but here's my acceptance speech for tonight's Humor Award from @PressClubDC :

@_motherslug Brain Donors -- the Zucker Brothers/Pat Proft forgotten masterpiece. Everyone knows Naked Gun, but no one has seen this homage to the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera", whose credits are already funnier than most comedy movies.

If you don't want your words used by Twitter as AI training fodder, you can at least temporarily halt that by disabling the checkbox here:

Our winner of the 2024 Angele Gingras Humor Award is Seth Brown (@risingpun) of The @BerkshireEagle! Here's the piece that won him this award: https://t.co/tIenGr15gr

[Seth Brown @risingpun]

Today's Eagle article is doubly a treat for me, not only because I'm proud to have won this award, but because usually when I want to be in the paper, I have to write the article myself.

Delighted to announce that I have won this year's Angele Gingras Humor Award from @PressClubDC !

I believe this means that laughing at my terrible puns is now federally mandated.

@EthanZ @doctorow Great interview!

Scammers are getting bolder and better with more technological backup. Government rarely moves fast, and very rarely needs your money fast.

As a general rule, if a call asks for your money urgently, chances are it's because they don't want you to have time to think it over.

🚨 Just received a phone call from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office this afternoon. Officer reads off his badge number & proceeds to ask if this is [my name] located at [my address] w/ SSN# [reads last 4 of my social]. Fuck. Was walking through Costco as I took the call.

@adamm0rgan We are paving the farms to put in more supermarkets, since it's an easier place to get food.
