The father of one of my childhood friends played Odo on DS9!

Excellent suggestion, thanks! Have yet to explore the "Star Trek" universe with her.

Journalists do not ascribe motives based on gut feelings; we require explicit evidence to support our claims.

I'm sorry the story didn't work for you. But not sure how you can assert that I ignored the allegations of racism levied during the Romancelandia controversy. I mention it twice in the space of just a few paragraphs, including in Bouzy's own words.

In response to Barbara Edelman.
I am, indeed. Though I'd characterize my point slightly differently: I think it'll be tough, if not impossible, for any platform to replicate the spirit of early Twitter. That doesn't mean we're all fated to give up social media; we just might have to re-set our expectations and seek new joys.

In response to Jayce Reason.
Absolutely not. My intention, as always, was to try and craft the most honest, insightful story possible about a vital topic. In addition to being an admired founder, Bouzy is (as he notes in the piece) a human being, and all humans are complex. I aimed to reflect that complexity in my work.

Thank you for the kind words—I poured a lot of labor into the story, so it means a lot to know that it's resonating with folks. There's been a ton of thoughtful feedback/criticism on Spoutible so far, and I hope to engage with those readers in the days to come.

Okay, now I need to know: Who was the main act?

Hey, yes, she watched (and enjoyed) the Netflix version that came out a few years back ("Anne with an E"). Feel like her tastes are now leaning more toward sci-fi/thriller. She's amped for the new Ahsoka series coming to Disney+ in August.

One of my favorite movies! But not sure my daughter's quite ready for the chest bursters—she still gets freaked out by spiders in the shower!

The Den is probably the only EFL stadium I'd never want to go to for an away day.

I'm sure he bet against his own team! Though what an odd game to throw—LSU was -245 to win, so he'd have to wager enormous money to justify the risk. I'm gonna guess he didn't totally think this one through (perhaps because he's in desperate circumstances?).

In response to Ayan Das.
I hear you. I'm pegging it as Likely R: Abbott won re-election last year by 11 points, and it's hard for me to believe Cruz's negatives (even post-Cancun) and Allred's potential advantages (vs. a diminishing Beto) are enough to erase that margin. But I'll be curious to see how well Allred campaigns.
10:14 AM - May 04, 2023
In response to Ayan Das.
Unfortunately, I just can't see any Democrat winning a statewide election in Texas given current circumstances (+10 R lean, increasing polarization, historical turnout trends). Cruz beat O'Rourke by 2.5 points in 2018, when conditions were as good as they'll get for Ds. Would love to be wrong.

Also, you know you live in a true small-ass town when the person who actually made the controversial bagel chimes in.

In response to Jason Whissell.
The first performance that popped to mind was Keanu Reeves in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." He was so young and so desperate to prove he had range beyond Ted/Johnny Utah, and that anxiety shines through in nearly every frame.

Obvious self-consciousness. Usually due to either incompetence, a lack of emotional investment in the job, or trying too hard.
10:26 AM - May 03, 2023
In response to Ayan Das.
A strong candidate running against an opponent with high negatives. He'll raise a lot of money, then ultimately lose by 4-5 points—a decent achievement in a R+10 state.

I've read the complaint in this case. The plaintiff comes off as unhinged, and offers zero proof that the producers were even aware of his work. I suspect the lawsuit will be quickly tossed as frivolous.

In response to Laura, The Invisible Spoutan®️.
LOL. If they go down on goal difference, they're gonna rue not playing more conservatively this half. Though, granted, their defensive bench is pretty thin. At least Summerville is finally on!

In response to Laura, The Invisible Spoutan®️.
They always do this—show signs of life, then immediately fall to pieces. Will be lucky not to give up a 4th goal. (Though worth still watching if they bring on either Gnonto or Summerville—two really fun attackers.)

I've forced myself to watch so much Leeds this season because of the American connection. I've never seen a team less capable of gutting out a 1-0 victory.

Yes, thank you! Too late to edit, alas. Actually seems to be a small bug in Spoutible—it tacked on the closed parens to the URL. Something for the engineering team to fix!

Yup, done! I try and make quick PDFs of everything she creates.

There were a lot of red flags! When he'd get into situations in which he was expected to speak Spanish fluently, for example, he'd opt out by claiming to have a migraine.
