Stanley Kubrick’s The Princess Bride.

I never heard anyone say "for your situational awareness" until last year, and now I've heard it many times, but it sounds like pseudo military/cop speak every time.

One thing about limiting the number of people you follow is that you start to assume everybody you follow is sort of like a friend. And then you remember that one of them is actually a famous author whose books you love

I will never write a story where there's a hunter named Chase, for instance. I just won't. It makes me itch when I come across it. No shade toward writers who do like to do it, or readers who enjoy it. It's just very much not my thing.

Random thoughts from recent travels — At a nice hotel in Florida, I found dirty clothes in the drawers. (They hotel moved me to another room). I mentioned to a colleague and he said he had never opened a drawer at a hotel. Never!! Is that common?

I mean think about how many major crimes stories out there where the end of the story is "and no one ever found out who it was." it's just not that many

Roberts: "I think at a very basic level, people think we’re making policy decisions, we’re saying we think this is what things should be as opposed to this is what the law provides. I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do."

yeah but the people who do understand how the Supreme Court works also think that

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 3mo ago

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

if you had to pick something physical to represent the concept of being unhinged, what would it be? A snake jaw comes to mind bc it actually unhinges, but I don't think that captures it. I'm thinking like a screen door on a mobile home.
