Did I say that all these instant messages were like asking me to pick up your discarded chocolate wrappers? Let me change the simile. Your instant messages are like you eating the cheeseburger, while I have the heart attack.

@help I keep getting Bad Request error trying to post from Sunlit to my Micropub enabled info site. I know the app is authorized. I can’t seem to get any extra info. Nor can I delete the existing external blog to start again. Anything else I can try?
this review of Gaslight (1944) is lowkey cracking me up. You're the one who turned on a movie called "Gaslight", what did you think was gonna be the plot?

Extra virgin olive oil appeared in 1960, after a decade of scandalous adulteration. Then, it denoted quality. Today, not so much. “I would argue,” says Carl Ipsen, “that a bigger problem today than fraud is transportation and storage.”

Fascinating piece on how to really acquire a language, which left me feeling more than ever what a pain it is to have always found Italian newspapers so horrendously pompous and verbose. I'd love to be so engrossed in something that I wanted to devour it, but nothing, yet, comes close. Suggestions?
