Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (war or trek) LOTR or Marvel.

I didn't see the AI dog video but in learning to up my AI radar for images and how to spot what's off (or to realize what I subconsciously picked up on when my brain flags it as fake), what I realized is, it reminds me of is a lesson from when I did a forensic psychology course several years ago.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

We’ve Remodeled Our Bathroom, So Now You Have to Take a Dump Behind a Sliding Barn Door Welcome, come on in. Let me give you a tour of our new bathroom. We’ve painted the walls a beautiful sage green, installed a double sink vanity, an...

"We’ve painted the walls a beautiful sage green, installed a double sink vanity, and replaced our perfectly fine, functioning bathroom door with a sliding barn door. It’s exactly like a regular door, except it never closes."

I was about to say, those aren’t his pictures. 😂

The Magical Animation of 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' The Christmas television special—the longest running in history—was groundbreaking in its use of stop-motion animation with puppets

This is a fun holiday read. Who made Rudolph happen? A Jewish copy writer; his Jewish composer brother-in-law; the BIL’s neighbor who happened to be Arthur Rankin; and a Japanese animator who had pioneered new stop motion techniques. Now that’s an American Christmas

The Gerald Locklin poem never fails to make me tear up.

This one, on the other hand...do I ever feel like it? Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.

Atmospheric river could bring flooding to Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington next week You may want to clean your gutters and clear out your storm drains this weekend. Heavier rain arrives next week.

If you live in Northwest Oregon or Southwest Washington, you may want to clean your gutters and clear out your storm drains this weekend.

The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain will arrive in the region starting Monday, which could lead to flooding.

This is so accurate it causes me mild physical pain.

as you dig through coverage of the Netflix Warner Bros merger, play a little game with me:

notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

Rudolph gets all the love, so let’s talk about the names of Santa’s other reindeer.

dasher | noun | one that dashes
dancer | noun | one that dances
prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner

Ok, those three are easy to understand.

It's hard to pick my least-favourite flavour of Bsky but high on the list is folks trying to one-up a stranger's innocuous post with how they have it worse in comparison like they're reenacting Deadpool and Vanessa flirting.

"Wow, you get to BUTTER your toast?! I was so poor that was unheard of!"

Illustrated cover to the Little Golden Book, The Brave Little Tailor. The tailor is sewing inside a little shack of a hom, with a striped cat and 3 little kittens looking on.

Years ago, after doing some deep searching for vintage children's book art, I found a collector who had acquired most of the original artwork of J. P. Miller's The Brave Little Tailor, a LGB from 1953. Fantastic work. Here's the cover.

The original art is in the following 🧵...

The stages of repentance and repair outlined in my book, as I read Maimonides:

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

I’ve seen the kind of people @kristadb1.bsky.social used to attract on Reddit so I’m not super surprised by what she’s getting here, but also I realized some of this (not all) is people on the Discover tab not understanding how social media works because I used to see this on Facebook.

Next time someone asks me why I don't just adapt my books for television to make money, I'm going to tell them about the time Harlequin underestimated Canada's love FOR HOCKEY ROMANCE so badly it ruined Christmas for every romance bookstore in two countries.

Book promo post. A glass blue ornament rests on snow, with blurred twinkle lights behind it. To the right of the ornament is a 3D mock-up of the book Waking Anastasia by Timothy Reynolds. The book cover depicts a man and a woman on the pier in Victoria, BC, in the evening with the lit parliament building in the distance. The woman is translucent and floating. The man is looking up at her and holding her arm, perhaps acting as a tether. Additional text on the promo post is from Melodie Campbell, award-winning author of the Lands' End series. She says, "Charming and wonderfully imaginative. Reminiscent of 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir'."

Nothing better than a ghost story for the holidays. Even better if the ghost is Grand Duchess Anastasia.

When my father asked me what cosmic horror was I had to pick a book he'd actually recognize and I blurted out "Moby Dick." I stand by this. See also: this print.

It's important to acknowledge that the expense of entering writing contests or art shows or music events is a barrier.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms

you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization
