Jennifer Lee Noonan

Oh, I didn't think you did! I just find it interesting to analyze what goes viral and what doesn't. (And then never bother to use those techniques myself because that would take some level of effort or foresight.)

My guess is the magic phrase was "those of you who have read Shakespeare." It sort of implies that if you don't respond, you're admitting you haven't read any. Effective bait. :)

I need a word that's like daydreaming, but negative.

Similar to catastrophizing, but in an idle/methodical way, with no panic and no conviction it will actually happen.

It can be a loanword, if that helps. German, Latin, I'll take whatever you got.

ACAB includes the dentist who scheduled my appointment right at lunchtime.

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

This is a reference to a Simpsons bit, which was itself a reference to The Shining, which was referencing a 17th-century proverb, which had by that point been truncated in common usage and therefore lost much of its original meaning.

Should I just give up and get out of bed? Yeah, probably.

All anxiety and no sleep makes Jennifer something something

An open memo to all dogs in my house:

JUST BECAUSE I HAVE INSOMNIA DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO. THE BREAKFAST HOUR REMAINS UNCHANGED. I WILL GO FULL CRUELLA DE VILLE ON YOU, SEE IF I WON'T.

"The Ocho" has a 24/7 streaming channel and I am addicted to it. All this and so much more.

PRONKING

Space Jam implies the existence of Space Jelly, Space Preserves, and Space Marmalade.

With a boba straw you could have both

Step one is we add Harry du Bois to Super Smash Bros Melee.

*smug Victorian voice* This cholera would instantly kill a millennial child

"I was never punk" I whisper to myself as I type "I'm still punk" into a social media app for 38-year-olds.

Definitely tasted orange to me as well.

A Google Maps summary showing "2 cities visited this month," with default images of an isolated wood shack for Cedar Park, and a loose pile of tires for Liberty Hill.

Cedar Park and Liberty Hill tourism boards really knocking it out of the park with their SEO here

The cool thing is, we only discovered it due to a dishwasher drain pipe leak that left a centimeter of standing water in the cabinet, and as I was clearing everything out, I bumped a wire going into the box and it massively sparked. Without the leak, who tf knows when we would have found it.

It really is insanely good.

Interior of an electrical box, with a heavily blackened and melted "hot" wire, and lots of char and burn marks on the casing.

You know what you DON'T want to see when you open up the junction box under your kitchen sink? A bunch of melted shit and burn marks. Fucking hell.

I scored very badly until... I started describing the color in words to myself. Then I consistently got over 9 on every one. Wild.

Loading/animation times are also a problem, imo. It doesn't feel like much, but even a tenth of a second delay between lines can absolutely screw with good comedic timing.

Wire mother vs. banana mother vs. mud mother

Oh cool! My kid did one of the tracks... and is now frantically telling the fan Discord that her mom follows your kid's dad on Bluesky.

I run a summer camp, and we generally get our first registration in November of the year before. I don't know why, other than maybe general anxiety, but the early surge got *much* worse post-pandemic.

Fighter pilot or flighter pilot

Every year, my mother-in-law sends me a digital, animated card reminding me that Jesus loves me more than my husband does.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

It's the kind of post that I *want* to like, I'm just afraid to have it in my history when the revolution comes...

It is 8:53am and I have already received three emails with the subject line ACTION REQUIRED.
