My Amulet of Acerbity caused me to lash out and call your Knife of Stabbing "redundant." I'm wearing my Crown of Contrition now. And I'm sorry.

Yiddish curses are known for their wit and acerbity. My friend -@elizabethschwartz.bsky.social has come up with a new one:
*Ven men shtimt far Trump, zol men bakumen alts far vus me hot geshtimt.*
(If you voted for Trump, may you get everything you voted for.)
*Ven men shtimt far Trump, zol men bakumen alts far vus me hot geshtimt.*

Here's an amalgam of Snide, Snout and Sneak. I imagine he has Snide's acerbity, Snout's dopiness and Sneak's loud fashion sense.

The 2nd Hillman mystery delightfully candy-coated in acerbity like Douglas Sirk shooting a Thin Man dell'italiano sees crime solving duo John & Kajsa probing a fashion house of death where a blackmailing model just tread her last catwalk.

This ticks that box and then some. Anyway, my usual combination of despair and acerbity will resume in tomorrow’s note:
Lib Dems chart a distinctive pro-European course
Forging closer ties between UK and EU may prove sensible electoral strategy for UK’s third party

all knee-knock and spaz-out, a many-armed Vishnu of the buckets, drenched and dangerous, such is the range, acerbity and humor of Davies’s lines and interlocking stanzas. Also in the lineage: Stephen Rodefer, Edward Dorn, maybe some half-forgotten Langpo boys.

The underlying frustration of how to simply stop what is happening remains, but I rescind my acerbity.

Absolutely. Just as I, a non-Classicist who has given up on Ulysses repeatedly, can be a little bewildered by its acerbity. That's all.

Looking up Gervais's cat comedy, wondering if it's getting a second season, as if it does, that's a line in the sand that culture is over. Anyway, that final sentence on Wikipedia made me a little sad, there once was a time when that would be high praise indeed rather than "oh no"
![Not all reviews were negative. Variety described the series as "surprisingly bittersweet," praising an underlying melancholy that cut against Gervais's reputation for pure acerbity, though also noting that the show's compressed runtime left some subplots underdeveloped.[14] The series also received praise from John Cleese.[15]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpjse36yorgmic7iv625ehub/bafkreiezjnr53begetkz2qex4d7rvkl7glft7slierbfec3nnuaqtgo34a)

Like, fuck Bush, but I saw someone say Bush didn't even acknowledge Trump.
Obama would rather share some chuckles than sit in awkward silence for a few hours at a funeral that's televised and photographed.
You can never rely on him for a reasonable amount of acerbity. Ever. lol

Barack was the only one to talk to him (probably bc he drew the short straw & had to sit next to stinky).

It is not, I confess, the sort of volume to which I am ordinarily inclined, but upon reading this, I found myself quite undone. Such elegance! Such felicity of expression! Miss Austen herself had returned to us, armed with her acerbity and charm.
