Alternate title: And Nothing Of Value Was Lost. I picked the first one because I don’t quite agree with the second one, but I respect that my readers will have a different opinion.

Tweet of the Day, If You’ve Never Seen This FRASIER / COLUMBO crossover comic…
…you’re in for a treat. As I note below, the dialogue is pitch-perfect. This could have been an episode of FRASIER. Admittedly the last episode, but still.

Tweet of the Day, I Don’t Know How I Missed This edition.
It’s got that peculiar clarity you get when you see an observation that is insanely obvious. In retrospect. I mean, I didn’t see it for myself, now did I?

Tweet/PSA of the Day, If You Assault Cops While Wearing A Banana Suit… edition.
…do not post pictures of yourself in the banana suit afterward. Or maybe do, because this was funny. I laughed. God help me, but I laughed.

Via @iowahawkblog, who is likewise finding humor in this situation, somehow.
(PS: For the record, throwing firecrackers at a cop car or whatever it was is definitely assault, but I dunno if I’d agree it was aggravated assault. I thought it would be, like, a bat or something. Not that it matters, because I’m not going to be on that jury anyway.)
Tweet of the Day, Who ISN’T It Hard Out Here For, These Days? edition.
I gotta agree with the general commentary here. Ross Douthat should have been able to place his fantasy novel. I’ll also say this: Ross is also a hell of a lot better off just publishing the damned thing himself. It’ll never happen, but I doubt at this point I’d even take a multi-book contract, assuming anybody was insane enough to offer me one. Traditional publishing is not designed with the well-being of its authors in mind.
Seeing a NYT columnist turn to Substack to get his story out feels like a tipping point moment. And possibly the tipping point is for the trad publishers who rejected that book. https://t.co/KCTy8SAb5I

Tweet of the Day, They Finally Broke Me edition.
Don’t mess with the etymology. Just… don’t.
Tweet of the Day, I Would Have A Two-Word Response… edition.
…and the second word would be ‘off.’

PS: I don’t know if it’s staged, actually. It’s almost too good a letter, but there’s nobody as entitled as a HOA officer. Even when it comes to non-HOA members; heck, especially when it comes to non-HOA members. Seven-five and pick ’em on whether you should believe this one, honestly.
Tweet of the Day, This Articulates One Of My Life Goals edition.
Some day, I hope to infuriate a reviewer one-half as much as these four men infuriated this nameless The People writer.
Also: I have to go look up Gregory Corso now. If he can be in this mighty company and not be ashamed, there must be something of his work worthy of note.
