Disability Activist Says BBC Cut Homophobic Slur He Yelled at Alan Cumming During BAFTAs In an interview, John Davidson says he has been β€œupset and distraught” over the events of the ceremony.

I think there's still a lot to break down about the other night. But I do think this article helps really shine a light on the failings of the BBC and frankly, how everything was mishandled top down.

But not as deflated as you’d feel if someone had just removed a parasitic insect from your flesh (guess who finished reading WOLF WORM last night)?

You were the first person I thought of when I heard about the Books section getting cut. I’m so sorry. Believe me, I know how few venues there are out there who pay for book reviews.

So my friend Terence and I saw @joshgondelman.bsky.social last Thursday conducting the Q&A for #Taskmaster Live at Town Hall. Tonight we saw him hosting the #WaitWait Comedy Grab Bag. Wondering how many other people also #DoubleGondeled. (He was Double Great!)

Yeah, this sucks. It’s true I hate trying to read the menu in the dark and sign a check in the dark, but I’d rather that than all those bright phone screens everyone else has.

Yay! I like their hibiscus and also their Mexican chocolateβ€”I’m a fan of strong flavors. I wish they’d bring back the doughnutaschen for Purim! (Also, their sister brand, La Newyorkina paletas, is amazing. I have horchata mini paletas in my freezer now.)

I don’t like cold marshmallows. If they’d tried that test on me as a kid, they’d have drawn the wrong conclusions. If they’d used a cookie, well, not sure if I’d have passed or not.

In case you missed it on my Facebook, here is a dog in a Brooklyn bar who also loves tribbles. The dog also loved David Gerrold, who was reading that evening. (I was guest hosting.)

I don’t know the song at all, but it’s obvious how to parse that lyric. Where was the copy editor to explain the difference between like the verb and like the preposition? Were they overruled?
