really pissed at the 🐝 for not accepting catamite
I didn't know till just now that it's simply the Latin for Ganymede. Live and learn.
It's also Latin for "mentee."
Speaking of "mentee," there it just was in episode 8 of #JuliaOnMax, mayyyyyyyyybe a couple of years on the soon side, but let's not split hairs.

Apparently I wrote The Haunting of Hill House, or at least its first paragraph.
Well, now I want my own Wikiquote page.

"Choice is the whole point." β€”Judith Jones, episode 8, #JuliaOnMax
plus a Sondheim joke
Well, that was just a joy, and I won't spoil the late surprise treat. Thank you, @DanielGoldfarb3 and @BebeNeuwirth and everyone. I can't wait for season 2.

Yes, absolutely no English speaker on earth has ever used a singular verb with "rugelach," thanks for joining in, however utterly irrelevantly.
The best black-and-whites I ever tasted were from Glaser's on the UES, and even they didn't go beyond the mission of a black-and-white, which is to be good, not excellent. The essence of a black-and-white, I think, is its happy matter-of-factness.

I thought I was perhaps mistaken, or going a wee bit bonkers, but now that I've tweet-searched "losing followers"...

I thought I'd lost a couple of hundred followers since this morning, and that's because I have.
And another hundred.
And yet another hundred.

Oh, this is guaranteed to piss (some) people off.
Pretty sure my dear friends at Chicago Manual are wrongβ€”um, disagree, that isβ€”about this point, but that's how the crumbling goes, cookiewise.
Those of you who own the DE calendar can flip ahead for enrichment. Otherwise, tomorrow is another day.
