OH WEIRD I WONDER WHY THEY DID THAT. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Every time I think I have a handle on how many white supremacists there really are, something happens and there turn out to be EVEN MORE.

I would have taken that Gap ad that was supposedly a clapback to the Sydney Sweeney jeans/genes ad more seriously if there had been even one fat dancer in it.

"Sometimes men marry men, and sometimes women marry women." That's literally all you have to say to a kid who is old enough to understand marriage but not old enough to understand sex in order to explain gay relationships. Grow up.

I've been avoiding Johnson & Johnson products since I found out they created a shell company and then declared it bankrupt, all to try to avoid paying the cancer patients who sued them over their cancinogenic baby powder. Reading this book now, and it's way worse than I even knew. 🙃 People are evil.

How many people do you think there are who love the fact that all six of the "Friends" fought to make sure NBC paid them ALL $1 million per episode but then turn around and say they hate labor unions lol.

All you have to know about these nerds (you know which ones) to recognize that they're dumb as stumps is that they all claim that they were/are fans of Star Trek and yet they internalized absolutely none of the messaging of that universe.

I know I'm *literally* 13 years late, but... "The Newsroom." Excuse me? So prescient. So insightful. Don't know why I didn't watch it when I was working in news. (Actually, yes I do.)

Hey! Don't treat fat people at the gym like a before picture. Some of us are athletes. And fat. Deal with it. Shut up.

What was it like for those of you who read the Lord of the Rings books before the movies came out when they cut straight from Bucklebury Ferry to Bree with NO TOM BOMBADIL?? I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MAD??

I feel like someone on here asked recently what's the vegetarian version of hot Italian sausage, meaning something that is technically one ingredient but already packed with flavor and seasonings. Anyway, after making a vegan soup last night, I think the answer might be sundried tomatoes.

I read an abstract of a study this morning that said creating decent living standards for everyone on Earth would require only 30% of current global resource & energy use. Then I read an article about a polo player who cloned his favorite horse a bunch of times so he could keep a competitive edge. 🙃

Shows in which the male lead is building a boat in season 1 and it is never mentioned again after that:

Girls 🤝 Roseanne

It is wild to me that we *could* have — like we literally have the resources to have — a world where everyone is fed, sheltered and generally looked after. But instead we keep putting cartoonish lunatics in charge of everything.

Why isn't there a Lonesome Dove audiobook narrated by Jeff Bridges? Hmmm???

Aw man. I bookmarked to check back today. I'm too late. Will there be prints of this one?

1) The Library doesn't lend books, it's a research Library

2) You have to be 16+ to even go into one of the reading rooms

Dr. Carla Hayden is the best boss I've ever had. She's more than brilliant and hardworking, she's also kind, funny and genuine. An absolute treasure of a person. I always walk away from encounters with her smiling.

And, not for nothing, she's not afraid to throw a first pitch.

We only do it on, "OOOOOO say does that star-spangled banner yet wave."

Cosmonaut is a cooler word than astronaut, that's the one thing I have to hand to Russia.

Federal workers rule, actually.

HBD!

The outline of a (dead) mosquito on a palm. Let it be a warning. 👿

Slapped a mosquito so hard it made a mosquito tattoo on my hand.

I swear once you start making an earnest effort to shop secondhand first—estate sales, thrift stores, antique stores, online marketplaces—you start to realize that we would all be absolutely fine if nobody ever mass produced a new homegood or piece of clothing ever again.

I just burst into tears hearing a cover of "Edelweiss" on TikTok. I love "The Sound of Music" but I don't think I ever really understood the song until right now.

Did Apple's move away from headphone jacks cause an epidemic of people listening to their phones on max volume with no headphones in public or is it just that the first generation of iPad kids are old enough to ride the train alone now?

Mild "The Pitt" finale spoilers....

Can't tell if it's homage or stealing from Grey's Anatomy that someone is found to be living in the hospital, and this is discovered while they are dancing around semi-nude. Callie Torres walked so you could run.

I thought it was, thanks for confirming. I'm camera shopping.

What kind of camera did you take this with?

Calling things cringe is now cringe. Go forth to experience and express things earnestly and allow others to do the same without comment. We're free. We did it.
