The hour does not call for less wine, I think. Let’s pit pain against the grape and see which puts paid to which. Let me sleep. Let’s all sleep. Delia’s husband has locked all the doors to the house. I call that surly. I call that churlish. I hope lightning strikes him everywhere. Him and his doors.

I wrote about AI in senior living. It's mostly just people watching AI-narrated videos on speakerphone in the break room and people asking if we're ever getting robot servers in the dining room. otherwise it's pretty much not around:

I talked about Ruritanian romances from The Prisoner of Zenda to Grand Budapest Hotel with Rafe Meager for the newsletter:

“Oh, I’m glad you reminded me,” she said. “At least now I’ll have beautiful feet.” “That’s worth having,” I said, “especially if you’re discalced.” How often in life do you get a setup like that? A nun, on her way to a podiatry appointment — never happen again.

Listen, buddy, I see a hundred of you guys a day. We’ve got a lot of mothers in the building, after all.

"I understand he makes somewhere in the neighborhood of $400K a year hosting a religious podcast. I find this personally distasteful, but as this work does not enable him to exploit children, I see no reason to oppose his earning an astonishingly good living for what cannot be very hard work."

"As it happens my father is no longer directly in the ministry at all. He resigned in disgrace back in 2020, after abusing his ministerial position to enable my pedophile brother to spend unsupervised and unrestricted time with children."

by far the weirdest AI spam email I've ever gotten: someone emailed offering to promote my book on Goodreads. Only it wasn't my book, but a book my estranged father published back in 2002.

I spoke to some friends about the worst things we ever said to our mothers, as well as the nicest things we ever did for them.

"She got the dry cleaning and just drove off without even looking at me. So I walked home from the middle of town."

because turnabout is fair play, I asked my friends about the worst things they'd ever said to their mothers:
