My dear friend @justinellis.bsky.social 's new book will be here before you know it.
You should definitely pre-order The Cruelty of Nice Folks today from your favorite bookstore, online or otherwise share.google/aXwCEgpWTMSu...
A book about how Minneapolis' history reflects the nation's? Relevant!
My kid too. We're both little chaos gremlins and when we're both riding the same stream it can be amazing.
It's also helpful to point out to each other when we're out of pocket.
Sometimes it can be great. I've definitely intentionally not taken my meds if need to really brainstorm on something.
But yeah most of the time chaos brain is not a great choice!
Oh he did! Interesting! Oh and he lives in the same town as someone I know! I wonder if they knew that. I should ask.
And then it dawns on me... ooooohhhhh I haven't had my meds yet today have I?
Oh riiiight. Kind of a slice of life that touches on a bunch of contemporary issues without too heavy a hand considering it's for middle readers.
Did he write anything else? let's see. Click on the author's wiki page.
Oh I see like a TV movie. It was set in PA? I didn't know that.
I remember liking that book as a kid. But I only vaguely remember the plot.
Clicks on wiki page for the book.
How ADHD affects me:
Co-worker asks staff for movies set in Pennsylvania for a piece they're working on.
I start thinking about it. Come up with a few. Then check the wiki page for movies set in PA.
Then I see Maniac McGee. That was a movie?
I still wish I could reliably find the orange cream coke zero. Just delightful stuff.
Sometimes I can sort of recreate at a soda fountain but it's not quite right
At least two completely phantom fouls called on Mizzou the last three possessions. At least one of those was a painfully obvious travel on Arkansas
It's pretty rough.
Love to see it

This comes up a few times a year when I'm talking to other journalists about whether something is a story or not.
I love sharing this little grid that my former editor, Maria Carrillo, gave our team in Houston back in the day.
It does such a good job of externalizing the news judgement process.
The worst
BS it was never a lack of fan support that was the problem. Was always ownership
I refuse to be an oakland fan until fisher sells the team and brings them back. Was a fan for most of my life
I still don't like his game or his effort on defense. But I can grudgingly admit he's improved.
Oh ffs
The kid in middle school who actively chose to "steal" my only two friends and then frequently told me to kill myself.
I'm sure he had some kind of trauma that made him think this was ok to do but I doubt that dude got any help for that
Super weird to see sociopathy in a child.
What?? You know what I don't wanna know

This is absolutely bonkers. It's not a huge burden to expect reporters to be able to write their stories. FFS

I maintain that it is possible. I ended up playing sabaac with Ashoka and some CMs there. There was no schedule for it. Just happened organically. The spy character running around has great potential.
The real reason it doesn't work is Disney doesn't want to pay performers that can make it work
It doesn't have to suck. But you can't commit to it halfway, which is definitely what they did
It's so much like baseball! The rhythm feels similar. The pace feels similar. The strategy visible between actions.
