Love how every time I open a document sent over email, Word is like "Unless you need to edit, it's safer to stay in Protected View." OK, well, my job title is editor, so I will probably need to edit.

It's one "blueberry," Michael. How many Bs could it contain? 3 Bs?

The Don Henley is 🙄, so I guess I'm voting for the lyrical genius of "Operating on a baby?! Ugh! Sick!!"

It finally got some facts right!

Make them pay $30 to $50

There is only one good news headline at the moment, and it's this.

Do not accept the question "But how do we pay for it?" about social programs ever again. That talking point is done forever.

I've had ants in apartments in three separate states. They own this world, we merely live in it.

When I tell you my high school best friend was IN LOVE with this man when he was playing for the Giants, 15 years after this photo was taken

"Violence"

She's already ready for Bluesky

If you don't want to talk to loved ones or perform the basic tasks of life, you're not ushering in a tech utopia, you have clinical depression.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

More and more, I think these people just don't want to be alive.

Looks fucking minging

In an alternate universe, this university system, the engine of one of the world’s largest economies, could simply refuse to negotiate. In this universe, the governor would back it.

there's so much racism here that it feels pointless to point out how much chronic pain and injury migrant workers have to endure, often without any real medical care, but: it IS one of the primary violences of our system that we eat "healthy" fruits and vegetables that are soaked in laborers' pain

All I see when I look at Nicholas Hoult is the kid from About a Boy.

Thanks to @onetrueposter.bsky.social and @bermanmatt.bsky.social, I believe my brain is simultaneously reaching for Bittersweet Symphony and California Love.

How 'The Simpsons' changed TV The show's first several seasons revolutionized primetime TV, blazed a trail for animated comedy, and embiggened our lexicon with endlessly quotable episodes.

Here's my interview about Stupid TV, Be More Funny with the great Peter O'Dowd on @npr.org. One of the things I've loved about talking about my book is how the conversations almost always lead to swapping Simpsons quotes. Never gets old. www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Oh, definitely not! It just always stops me up for a second when you tweet it!

I went to high school with a Tyler O'Neill, and every time you tweet the name, I have a moment of ?!?

The Status Quo version sounded *less* familiar to me, quite possibly bc of the violins in the CVB version sounding closer to Bittersweet Symphony

Ooooh it does sound similar, that might be it!

HMMM this might very well be it!

Can someone solve this mystery for me? The riff/hook in CVB's "Pictures of Matchstick Men" sounds SO familiar, but I don't think I've heard the song before. I've listened to the Status Quo original and all the songs listed on WhoSampled, don't recognize them either. Where do I know it from??

Based on the dumb pun in their name, I've always assumed Camper van Beethoven would be awful, but I rather liked them!
