If you pause the official recap of Liverpool-Leeds, there I am. PS I almost bought the Leeds away, but I kept getting side-eye. I'm sorry, but that was just a beautiful shirt.

A fine, thoughtful review. It's interesting to see how many writers with skin in the game recognise this as a great novel, and many readers too. Some critics have got it all very wrong.

When you call the One Wish Willow customer service line, you can hear Mitch McConnell screaming in the background.
With each new EA Sports game, the music becomes less and less relatable.
“Dizzyingly innovative and wildly ambitious, The Coast of Everything is also a true page-turner—immersive, prescient and moving. Guillermo Stitch is one of my favorite living writers, and all of his talents are on display in this astounding new novel.” — Christopher Boucher
Yesterday, I was going to make a joke about how Richie Rich, MC Serch, and Prime Minister Pete Nice were the most crucial 3rd Space we lost, but chose not to. Feel I deserve some credit. Maybe not for this, but for other stuff you refuse to acknowledge.
That Ohio Lib is right. Be a Manley Man* *man who appreciates the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins
Can't help thinking the Mitch McConnell stuff right now is a dry run for, well
Mad magazine used to do trading card parodies of newsworthy dirtbags. Never forgot the puzzled look on teacher's face when I asked him who Ivan Boesky was (then very patiently explained insider trading).

I don't know, man. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe what this place actually needs is more agents. Maybe that'll jazz up the place a bit.

Having spent my teenage years listening to alternative rock, I can proudly say the US men's team has been disappointing me way before it got mainstream.
