@amateurgourmet It’s so so sad. I sat down and actually started to cry.

I just landed in NY and read this in shock. Hard to imagine my life without Julie Powell’s influence; she was so cool and funny and fearless. nytimes.com/2022/11/01/din…

@mulegirl Wtf?! Also I know plenty of female athletes who stopped menstruating bc of low body fat.

@anildash Ha! Exactly. I still recall when he couldn’t tell me apart from Mena bc you know, female blog company founders are confusing!

@controlpl4n3 @mathowie Yes I was! His pride was his garden and I’ve never had a better strawberry than the ones he grew.

@megnut @mathowie TIL Battle of Leyte Gulf: > was the largest naval battle of World War II and by some criteria the largest naval battle in history, with over 200,000 naval personnel involved you're so lucky that you got to know him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of…

@controlpl4n3 @mathowie I didn’t know that! I’m sure he heard a lot, they were in battle of Leyte Gulf. He never really spoke of it, not surprising, but he loved radios. His car license plate was his call sign!

@megnut @mathowie OMG, really!? Navy radio operators belong to a special priesthood. At times they were the only people who knew where the boat was. The things he must have heard....!

@sippey @NewYorker I read that the other day and the whole thing was so gutting and tragic 25 years on.

@tcarmody That’s how I feel. There’s so much inspiring here. More so actually than when she was younger. At least for me!

@dens Right? How’d you win? Um I’m a pretty good player. ❤️

Serena is *so* charismatic in these post-match interviews. Inspiring and fun to watch.

@mulegirl @mathowie I’ve flown eleven segments since 1/4 and worn an N or KN95 whole time and had no problem. BUT every flight required all passengers to be masked. In US before they dropped it, and three within or from Europe where it’s still required.

@mathowie All flying domestic? Wearing masks or not? We flew Germany to Montreal three weeks ago, all masked on flight because wasn’t USA, no COVID.

@willwilkinson @espiers Equity! Hahaha how will they learn to be bankers, VCs or consultants??

@praddenkeefe Haha. I thought you were pointing out @nicknotned, sure looks like him behind you!

@mathowie And I basically flew home but family thanksgiving has been pretty good and prior to COVID has included friends too. And did a big Friendsgiving in nyc like 9 years ago. As long as it’s fun & tasty I’m happy!

@mathowie Ha!! That was so great. I think we did 2000 and 2001? Memory hazy but I recall doing days of prep and being super anxious I’d blow it. And the last time I Friendsgivinged bc we moved back east to family Thanksgivings.

America 2021 is a twisted Patrick Henry: “Give me liberty AND give me death!”

@ftrain Wait now you made it sound almost cool! No fair.

@MrPeripetia Yeah I guess they’re the Dem prob but somehow we gotta get them onboard and then make the frankenbill. It’s crazy 2 or 3 people can hold up the nation’s progress.

Can the Dems create a single Frankenbill (w debt ceiling, infrastructure & voting rights) & pass thru reconciliation? Wouldn’t that solve this filibuster/GOP obstruction?
