MS Word just suggested changing the line of dialogue “You know what would be a good idea?” to “You know what a good idea would be?” I click on its suggestions now and then just to see how bad they are.
It just seems kind of weird that we have a delusional criminal with dementia as president and nothing can be done about it while he starts wars and threatens allies. Everything is just so skull-crushingly stupid.
Dana Bash deserves some sort of hazard-pay bonus for putting up with RFK Jr for that interview.
Apparently I'm the first person in the history of the internet to need to change my email address, because if lots of people ever had to do that, newsletters would have a "change email" option as easy to find as the "unsubscribe" option, FFS.

Hey, kids, today I proofread Star Trek: Zero Point #1 from @charliejane.bsky.social, Isaac Sánchez González, and @longtalljodie.com, and it’s off to a big start! Plus, Seven of Nine wears a casual ensemble that I’m guessing @jerilryan.bsky.social would wish she’d gotten to wear!
"I think the adverbial form of this is open, not hyphenated."— The kind of thing I say out loud to myself while editing.

I work primarily on my laptop, but my iMac is still part of my workflow—until it died a month ago. I ordered a Mac Mini and it has an estimated delivery of (wait for it) mid-September! A three-month wait. Give me a break. It's ever so frustrating, I must say. Sorry, went a bit Ed Grimely there.
