excerpt:

I knew exactly what was happening. A blessing and a curse. Why then did I find myself preoccupied, watching out the window as the sky turned dark indigo and the sun was long past set, believing I’d find the faint light of David’s shuttle crossing the horizon in between clusters of stars, when yesterday I looked up at the same sky and saw nothing of significance there?  I forgot my brother was up there, and I felt incapable of helping, and I thought my watching the skies would do some good, even a little.

Or, Toby claws his way through back-to-back disasters. He doesn't quite make it out unscathed.

If there was ever a remedy for the inconvenient protection of the First Family, to give Ellie whatever was necessary to cope with the requisite loss of privacy and agency, Molly would have invented it the moment they met.

“I smelt your scent on a seatbelt,” he sings on Cornerstone, which may just be the best thing Arctic Monkeys have ever recorded. The lyrics are a dazzling display of what Turner can do: a fabulously witty, poignant evocation of lost love, packed with weirdly suggestive details. The music is a long, wistful acoustic sigh, the melody so effortlessly lovely that you can’t believe no one’s come up with it before.

Today in unhinged TWW thoughts, and unhinged ER thoughts, I wonder how Toby "hit a highway divider with an entire tree branch" Ziegler would think of Kerry "hit the ladder that someone is actively standing on with my forearm crutch mobility aid" Weaver. We already know he likes feisty redheads...

[muldxr]

we deserved a warner brothers studio lot crossover where Kerry travels to DC for a medical grant directors' meeting and somehow ends up in the White House. Toby's dragged into this because this is one of his Things and he's curious who the hell is causing a ruckus in the Roosevelt Room (see: defending PBS, the HIV medication talk, the NEA)
