Nice video and story about how to live with black bears in CT. My town has a black bear hanging out this summer, so these reminders are timely. The advice should be applicable to other states as well.

The white whale is their demigorgon.

Ooooh

I think a Real Genius movie night is coming up soon.

David Lynch in character as Gordon from Twin Peaks: The Return, saying to David Duchovny's offscreen character Denise "And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

On every day, of course. But for this day especially, also of course.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

I’m in so many groupchats and not one of them has leaked our war plans.
