@petemandik That of all his genius songs, Paul McCartney didn't write "In My Life." it was actually George Martin. I have no evidence whatsoever to back this up. Zero.

@RealDayTrading you were not ever a tenured university professor. Didn’t happen. Who even are you? You can assert anything behind an anonymous twitter handle. Why should I believe jt? And if you don’t care if I believe it, why bother asserting jt? I was formerly Mary, Queen of Scots.

Pull-quote of the day: "It is soul-crushing to talk at a room of seemingly bored people - or at a Zoom screen of black boxes - and equally so to be lectured at." (Cathy Davidson and Christina Katopodis, "The New College Classroom" pg 2.) https://t.co/oQoSFqx2Wk

No disrespect to @neilhimself or Terry Pratchett, but I just finished Good Omens and it's one of my favorite Douglas Adams novels. Is it possible to take this as a compliment, because that's how I mean it. Looking forward to checking out the TV series.

Book Cover for: True Grit, Charles Portis

True Grit

Charles Portis

@writesloud This is so relatable, by the way. good luck. When I feel like this I revert to comfort food books: Douglas Adams for me, also I really love the novel "True Grit" by Charles Portis. Pretty much any Elmore Leonard because they are all the same to me, but I still like them.
