Cat toy which looks like a rainbow-colored hair scrunchie encircled by 5ponytail holders, each in a different color, with a white tag, sitting on a brown couch cushion.

This #cat toy appears to have been designed by a misogynist who wants to teach cats to attack women’s hair accessories.

Thanks; I appreciate you doing this.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

That always struck me as a good way to push a kid toward having an eating disorder. Kudos to you for going the non-self-destructive vegan route instead.

When I was a kid my mother made cream of potato soup but it was too thin, so I suggested she add some instant mashed potato powder to it in order to thicken it up. Let me tell you, that was a Bad Idea.

I could see you going viral with that.

Thread.

I saw a news story yesterday that talked about how much “boyfriends” and “husbands” were expected to spend on Valentines Day and my first thought was about how many people they just completely forgot about.

Do not eat wild mushrooms.

This is the kind of laugh out loud humor you get when you have a good working relationship with vendors who are fun people. We trade office Halloween costume photos every year. She's had some quite elaborate costumes over the years.

I received an email with a quote from a vendor today. I replied with, "Thanks, and have a great weekend!" to which she replied...

Fixed it! You're welcome.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:
1. Hindus of the Himalayas
2. Earthquakes
3. Ethics
4. Philosophy
5. Spanish

Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

Two of the questions I got wrong were because I didn’t read them carefully enough. That’s what I get for doing this first thing in the morning.

A half empty tin of Royal Dansk butter cookies.

I needed a box for sewing stuff

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

What incredible athleticism.

Nooooooo!

Fortune from a fortune on a wooden desk. It is torn, with the right 10-15% missing. It reads, “Your dearest wish will come true. Lucky # 2, 12, 16, 25, 39, 44”

My dearest wish is to know what happened to the rest of my fortune. Did I just eat it by mistake?
