Come see America's number one source of people saying "I didn't know what to expect but I actually liked it."

Nice!!!!!

You know that moment near the beginning of Home Alone where the mom is trying to get Kevin to go upstairs and he says he hopes he never sees her again for the rest of his life? And Catherine O’Hara’s face hardly changes but somehow communicates just how heartbroken she is? Anyway, she was a genius.

I made some calzones and only one came out haunted!

#dinner

Make the longest possible sandwich with (edible) items already in your kitchen!

Do it do it do it

A close view from ground level of a tan German shepherd’s face with black and pink nose and a person with short dark hair and glasses leaning on the dog’s head and taking the selfie.

Good morning, we are hanging in there and hope you are too.

Hey I’m gonna run to the dissociation store real quick, y’all need anything?

@nikahoward.bsky.social 👀

yeah there aren’t rules about the type of hourglass, what about those huge ones in the wooden frame? That’s my ideal figure. Block.

I too am often changed by the gas I encounter. I’m not in space, I just have a flatulent dog.

ICE is made up of all the pathetic bullies that peaked in high school. Get a fucking life, you sad little dorks.

electroleafsis…that’s all I got

Milo, standing under rays of bright light, shielding his face

The cellos made the hills glow red, and the leaves and grass were tipped with a soft pale green as the violins began their song. Only the bass fiddles rested as the entire orchestra washed the forest in color.

Milo was overjoyed because they were all playing for him, and just the way they should.

A tall conductor gesticulating

A large symphony

"What are they playing?" asked Tock

"The sunset, of course. They play it every evening, about this time. And they also play morning, noon, and night, when, of course, it's morning, noon, or night. Why, there wouldn't be any color in the world unless they played it.”

If there’s not a vegan sub/grinder/hoagie/hero shop out there called Never Meat Your Heroes, there should be. Y’all can have that one for free.

How a St. Louis cartoonist replaced 'Dilbert' in the Washington Post "Heart of the City" replaced "Dilbert" in the Washington Post.

A reminder that my strip took over Dilberts vacant spot in the Washington Post after they dropped his ass. 😎

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

What publications out there are still letting writers profile fascinating-but-not-famous people and underground scenes and unique communities? Lemme get weird

A photo of a person with glasses and a blue plaid flannel mostly off the left side of the picture, while trying to take a snuggly selfie (unsuccessfully) with a fluffy German shepherd. Both the person and dog are lying on a wood floor.

Fiddle and I had different opinions about taking a cute snuggle selfie.

“Grow a pair” seems both biology adjacent and unnecessarily rude huh

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

San Francisco’s Ocean Beach!

A painting of lemons in a sort of impressionistic style. There’s a whole lemon on the right, half a lemon in the middle, and a wedge on the left.

I painted some lemons because I wanted something sunny and cheerful amongst the raging horrors.

…whaaaat if it was a nerd culture-meets-science-and-history podcast, and you were a Nerd Culture Correspondent tho?

also did they call it a fishlight

probably much less IRB involved than those other studies in the 70s

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie
