@CheeseForEvery1 Ooh! I have something new to dread!

If any of my students are on here: don’t take FaceTime calls in my class.

@ingelramdecoucy @davidaxelrod "Unnecessarily Big and Very Tall" is a suit company, isn't it?

Historians will view this as a fitting monument to self-indulgent excess and corruption.

The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

@adrianmckinty Even Homer nodded occasionally. Johnson remains one of the most astute literary critics to have taken the gig. (Not that you were saying otherwise -- I'm just an SJ fanboy.)

reading DC comics' Doomsday Clock I'm reminded of one of Dr Johnson's not so terrific prognostications:
"Nothing odd will do long. Tristram Shandy did not last."

@ThatEricAlper The late, lamented Rainbow Quartz label.

What record label, venue, or music institution do you think deserves more credit than it ever gets?

GP Say what you will, but for a made-up band, The Monkees had some absolute bangers.
Probably helped along by The Wrecking Crew "helping" in the studio.

@Blaknsam @Gormogons @MarkGoldblatt On my first date with Mrs. M, we caught a free showing of HEAD at the U of KY campus theater.

@Gormogons Sure. As it turns out, really good songwriters and really good studio players (at least at 1st), can make some nice records. As @MarkGoldblatt notes, the Monkees were (at 1st) essentially a vocal group -- as were the Supremes, 4 Seasons, etc. What makes only 1 "inauthentic"?

@ProfMondo GP Yep. But the guys could actually play their instruments and sing.

@cognuminous @ingelramdecoucy @sfchronicle And if the FoS gets dropped on this, things will get really meta, really quickly.

So long, Profs. Blythe, Weisenburger, and Wrobel. Thanks for my career.

@aelfred_D Love it -- perhaps especially because of Keats's historical error. #SelfTaughtGenius

@Utahopia I have multiple conversations with the same friends. I change; they change. As a prof of mine said about HAMLET, it’s never the same play.

Why would you keep a book you've already read?
Delights in Truth@delightsintruth
I asked everyone in my family how many books they think we have in the house and the general concensus was "how could you even count this many?!" We have books stored in every room except the bathrooms. (My husband said probably ≈2000)

@gscottoliver @Utahopia Dream your dreamy dreams, buddy!
English
@Utahopia Because it’s an anthology, a first edition signed by several of the authors, including @ProfMondo and Lawrence Block.
Who knows, it may be worth more than I paid for it some day. 😝

“The purpose of reading a Shakespeare play in high school is not to know more about Shakespeare, but to drop a seed of great vision into the mind in the hope of stimulating the growth of that mind as a whole.”

Explain it to me like I’m dumb: Why can’t Iowa put some pads on him and let him do this every other play

Yes, please do this. I could use the laugh. *I* failed *you,* that’s right.
