A 👻 haunting Europe

Yes but only for RealPlayer

There should be a "nod" for fat guys with moustaches, and cops shouldn't be allowed to do it

Every time my baby says literally "goo goo ga ga" I think she's trolling me

Last week at the bar we definitely discussed the best way to make a leek tart for like an hour

The number of nice meals I've had with French ppl where we spent the whole meal discussing other nice meals we've had or plan to have

I'm not a puzzle game guy and I find it really forgiving in that there's almost always something to learn or discover even if you've completely fucked up a run. You're not just stuck staring at some stupid machine you have to figure out to advance.

A French nursery rhyme, for babies, that includes the lines "if the wolf was here, he would eat us, but since he's not here he won't eat us"

Was just reminded of the "conditional hypothetical" thing the skull measuring IQ guys came up with (via the latest @maxread.info ) and realized one of my daughter's fav nursery rhymes has one. Bro you're congratulating yourself on being as smart as a literal baby!

Tired: "in this economy??"
Wired: "in this time of soaring egg prices??"

We should start doing the pandemic era thing of starting every email with "I hope your family's eggs are well"

Oh these pants are Ultra Gabardine Cavalry Twill? AND only a hundred and fifty dollars??

I feel like at a certain age you either become a streetwear guy who wears giant sneakers that look like a McDonalds PlayPlace or you start getting obsessed with increasingly baroque kinds of Cotton

Kubernetes? But I hardly know 'er netes

Kind of a shame we'll never get to see Gen Z go through the experience Millennials had of reading thousands of articles about how their generation is ruining everything (because they don't know how to read)

Effortlessly defeated by the "opaque milk container" exploit

Famous scene of Dr Zhivago freezing in the Russian winter

My parents today when temperatures in Florida briefly went below 60F

Can't let the other 40 year old guys have all the fun

Hell yeah brother in March

What's the opposite of tender & mild, in terms of infants? Tough and spicy? I think mine is that

Picture of Santa wearing all grey for some reason

I regret to inform Santa Claus has joined the grey tribe

This CEO assassination feels like a peak Law & Order episode except that one would end with McCoy finding out about the evils of the health insurance industry and somehow charging the whole company with felony murder (then regretfully sending the shooter to the electric chair, for Justice)

Phillip Morris's cigarette of the future as a canonical part of Trek would still be less embarrassing than the Elon Musk references tbh

Imagine if everyone in 60s Star Trek smoked and then every time a new series comes out the fans insist they have to include the smoking and actually they're syntherettes and they're healthy for you

Lmao

Now that Bluesky has a normie population I wonder if I could stir up shit with some "Arlo Guthrie was a nepo baby" discourse

When did they start giving hurricanes such dork ass names. They should be named after ancient Mesopotamian deities. Nobody should have to be afraid of "Milton".

Indigenous Italian Peoples day. Sabines and whatnot.

my first idea was "teeeen hut" style but that was definitely on the list

Imagining different ways a drill sergeant could say "hawk tuah"

(fwiw he was pretty hot in b&w too)

Our remaining stock of hairy, over-tanned, nicotine-stained pre-steroids 70s beefcakes must be preserved
