I’ve done it before, and it’s not terrible, but you do have to keep an eye on direct deposits, etc, to make sure everything is switched over. Also keep in mind that the bonus will be counted as taxable income when you do your 2026 taxes, so you’re likely not really getting the full $400.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

I don’t usually waste my energy worrying about awards shows, but I am still fully mad about this. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies, and it entirely rides on her performance.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Was then, still is now.

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

2 Panel comic titled β€œTwonks.”
1st Panel: a man wearing sunglasses speaks on the phone. He says, "You sent me the wrong guide dog.”
2nd Panel: reveal we're in an art gallery and the man's guide dog is pointing at a Magritte painting. He says, "This is a Magritte. Painted in 1964."

Ah, ok. I totally get that. I’m sorry you were having such a tough time then, but aesthetically, there was still a lot of handsomeness happening. 😁

Another one for my series of comics on Theoretical Physicists . This one is an EPICALLY niche joke about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Text reads:
Werner Heisenberg got lost every time he checked his speedometer
